THE X-15 IN DETAIL
The Starboard original waterdrop cut-away accelerates the water along the tuck line and gets you to take off speed with minimal sail pressure. With the significantly reduced tail volume and a progressive tail kick, you don’t have to push hard on the tail to activate the foil and get up and fly. This concept is even more special, as it allows you to keep your comfortable, almost parallel stance far outboard with more leverage on the foil. 2024 models gain even more stability through optimised aerodynamic airflow, with less aero drag than the 2023 model. Taking it further, we evolved lighter-weight Carbon Reflex technology without compromising strength…
AERO DESIGN
The side cutaways concept has been pushed to the max to develop extra speed in displacement mode to get on foil early; you can take off even before reaching planing speeds. The board is shaped like a teardrop from the nose to the tail, reducing drag and increasing aerodynamic efficiency. As a result, the board is very slippery and stable through the air.
DRAKE SLICK FOOTSTRAPS
The Drake Slick foot straps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during manufacturing is reduced by 80%. The remaining 15% of synthetic neoprene is kept to improve UV resistance, carefully sourced with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel.
Construction
THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION
The Carbon Reflex construction is our lightest, proven flagship construction and has some of the lowest warranty rates in the industry. Using the lightest biaxial carbon provides more feel, more responsiveness and more controlled flex than conventional boards. On the water, this construction will provide you with ultimate performance. It delivers the most direct feedback from the foil and allows for quicker and more precise movements. With the Carbon Reflex construction you’ll start foiling earlier. For 2023 the Carbon Reflex is limited in stock, built to order with a custom delivery lead time.
