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.

ABOUT DEVELOPMENT
The Above development took inspiration from learnings in downwind SUP and Wingfoiling. Learning from the longer, narrow designs of the Ace Foil, we wanted the same efficiency and speed to take off in light winds. However, we aimed for more maneuverability and forgiveness on touchdowns, requiring slightly shorter lengths while maintaining the narrow outlines crucial for fast take-offs. Combining the parallel mid-section from the Take Off range, the pronounced Vee nose from the X-15, and a compromise to widen the nose and tail outline, we created the Above.WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE SHAPE?
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.
Starboard Foil X Wing Wood Sandwich 105ltr Wing and Wind Foil
WIND AND WING
Hold the wind in your hands with a sail or with a wing, feel the foil below elevate you above the water as you fly across the water silently, powered purely by the wind and waves. 2-in-1, the Foil X Wing series covers wind foil and wing foil all in one board.
Based on the Foil X model, the same features that make the Foil X work for wind foiling make them ideal for wing foiling: the ultra-compact outlines make them easy to control, easy to maneuver and light for take off. The extended flat bottom shapes make them accelerate, gather speed and reach take off speed with less power. The rail cut-aways help you sink the tail to pop up onto the foil and the wide nose and wide tail makes the board stable to stand on. To convert from wind foil to wing foil, simply remove the wind foil from the tail and mount the wing foil to the twin US box tracks. Optionally, you can move footstraps to the wing-foil positions to add control. Two leash inserts allow you to secure the board to your ankle and the wing to the board.
