Blue Carbon Foilboard

LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG AND DURABLE, PVC REINFORCED STANDING

› Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.

› High density PVC is wrapped over the standing area for extra impact resistance, while keeping weight to the absolute minimum.

› Ultra light reinforced Foil Box is engineered with 5 x horizontal stringers, with an extended PVC Omega stringer that extends beyond the foil box for additional strength and control.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Every gram is optimized for maximum efficiency—delivering explosive acceleration downwind and an effortless transition onto foil.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES

Narrow widths from 15″ to 19″ designed for lightning fast acceleration onto foil. Maintain high speeds in the air with smooth, efficient airflow.

PURE FOILING CROSSOVER

In addition to being our fastest SUP downwinding board, the Ace Foil Lightning is a fantastic crossover range, excelling in light wind wingfoiling conditions, as well flat water foiling.

Mid-length for Lightwind Wingfoil

Above Air Foil Inflatable Foilboard

The Above Air Foil range stands out as one of our riders' top picks. As a mid-size model, it strikes the perfect balance, delivering the fast acceleration of a high-aspect inflatable foilboard and the stability and smooth handling of a traditional compact foilboard shape.

COMPOSITE-LEVEL PERFORMANCE, NOW IN AN INFLATABLE DESIGN

Drawing on our composite expertise, the Above Airfoil delivers top-tier performance in an inflatable package - no compromises. Perfect for intermediates and beginners, its parallel mid-section ensures early glide, steady balance, and predictable flight, while Rail Edge tech reduces drag for cleaner release. The Vee nose speeds takeoffs and smooths touchdowns, and an optimized EVA plug cuts foil drag. Enjoy all the refined composite performance in a compact, travel-friendly solution.

NEW UPGRADED CARBON PLATE

Redesigned for faster, easier foil setup with fixed nuts and bolts - just like our composite boards. The plate is now 2 cm longer, giving more standing area for smoother takeoffs, while the closed EVA pad prevents water from entering the plug area.

DELUXE LITE CONSTRUCTION

The lightest inflatable construction from Starboard. It helps you take off earlier, fly faster and in lighter winds as well as conserve energy with every stroke and pump.

The plate is now 2 cm longer, expanding the standing area for improved balance and easier takeoffs. Additionally, a redesigned EVA pad eliminates open slots on the deck, preventing water entry into the plug area.

Glide Sooner, Fly Longer

Above Foilboard

The Above range is our mid-length foilboard series engineered for effortless winging in light winds. Its longer, narrower outlines generate early lift-off and a stable, comfortable ride. This versatile range is a blend of the Ace Foil and Take Off model in a midlength size offering. New sizes now include options for both beginner riders and prone foil surfers.
Various volumes and sizes allow first-time riders to get up on foil easily, while intermediate riders will enjoy light wind winging and easy freeriding in all wind conditions. Additional volume in the nose and tail allows you to have an even stance over the foil before flight, while the combination of a longer and narrower outline easily generates speed for early lift off. A parallel nose with sharp rails gives the Above easy-to-recover touchdowns, with instant rebound. The Above concept was inspired by blending our favourite models, with speed and fast lift off inspired from our narrower, Ace range and blended ideas from our favourite models through the years.
