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.
