2022 Starboard Wingboard Blue Carbon

The new Wingboard range takes design inspiration from our high-performance SUP foil boards and Olympic class Windsurf foil boards – combining the speed and efficiency of foiling with the power of the wind. The aim of the Wingboard Foil is to give you maximum performance in a small size while catering to your level, from beginner to expert.

THE SHAPE
To get started we need stability and since volume works on leverage, the further away the volume is from your feet, the more stability it creates. We placed the volume in the rails, at the square nose and at the little “platform” at the tail of the board. Stability is also created by having the feet as close to the foil as possible. We do not want to foil with “High Heels”, so the thinner a board is, the better it rides.

RECESSED DECK
Significantly improves stability as you have a lower center of gravity. It also brings you closer to the foil for more control when up and riding.

BOXY RAILS
Pack the volume where you need it, increasing the float and stability so you can ride a narrower and shorter board.

ROUND NOSE
Makes it incredibly forgiving on touch downs as the nose bounces and skims off the large surface area, not sticking and slowing you down.

DRAINAGE CHANNELS
At the tail of the board lets the water drain out immediately once foiling.

HIGH VOLUME TAIL
Boosts the overall float to ride such small boards.

FLAT TAIL ROCKER
And sharp rails forward increase ground speed until take off.

THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED

• 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.
• 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.
• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.
• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
