Downwind Foil • Lightwind Wing
The popular Ace Foilboard has been incorporated into the inflatable range for the most compact and travel convenient board created uncompromised experience in downwind SUP foiling and lightwind wingfoil days. Featuring Starboard’s Innovative Patented Top Plate Technology, the foil base is directly mounted to the top plate, bringing you millimeters from the foil for the best possible control and stiffness.
Which size
| Size | Rider weight | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 8’2″ x 23″ / 135 L | up to 120kg | This versatile model serves as a SUP downwind board, a light wind wing board, and a SUP foil for wave riding. With a width of 23″, it caters to heavier riders up to 120kg, providing extra stability. Surprisingly easy to lift off from flat-water pumping. The narrow tail ensures remarkable efficiency, making flying effortlessly achievable for riders wanting a more stable ride. |
| 7’8″ x 22″ / 120 L | up to 90kg | Anticipated to be our most popular size. At 120L, this model will be stable enough to cater for riders up to 90kg while being a stable platform for lighter riders. During testing, we were amazed at how easily this board got onto foil. The 22” width feels manageable and reasonably stable while offering incredibly fast take-offs. |
| 6’10” x 21″ / 100 L | up to 80kg | Our smallest and fastest design. The goal with the 6’10″ is to create the best portable downwind foil board on the market, targeted for riders up to 80kg. The 6’10″ boasts an incredibly fast takeoff and excellent handling on ocean bumps. It’s narrow enough to experiment with prone downwind foiling while being comfortable enough for an advanced rider to use as an advanced downwind SUP foil board. |

Design features
Carbon Standing Plate
Designed for faster, easier foil setup with fixed nuts and bolts – just like our composite boards. The plate gives more standing area for smoother takeoffs, while the closed EVA pad prevents water from entering the plug area.
Enhanced Stability and Control
The innovative V-shape, combined with a wider, flat-standing deck with inverted EVA trays, is designed for maximum stability. This enhanced design ensures greater comfort while paddling in choppy waters, and allows for a more forgiving, wider staggered stance.
Deluxe Lite Construction
The lightest inflatable construction from Starboard is now available in the Ace Air Foil range. It helps you take off earlier, fly faster and in lighter winds as well as conserve energy with every stroke and pump.
Direct Foil Response
Patented Top Plate Technology, with just 1.5 cm between your feet and the foil, provides direct feedback and improved control. Combined with the solid carbon standing plate, it enhances the flight experience on the inflatable foil board, eliminating any wobbly sensations.
Vee Bottom Shape
The unique Vee shape is designed to make take off and touch down easier. Its innovative design provides enhanced stability and control, allowing for smoother transitions in the water.
Wider Flat Deck
The EVA tray provides a wide, flat standing area for greater stability and comfort in choppy waters. The wide deck allows a forgiving stance, while the narrow hull below ensures maximum speed and efficient glide, offering both stability and performance.
Narrow Tail
The narrower tails are easier to sink and the more rounded noses touch down less frequently.
Rail Edge Release & Eva Plug
The 3D Rail Edge enhances planing before takeoff, while the EVA Plug seals the foil mount for smoother water flow. Together, they reduce drag and boost acceleration for faster, more efficient takeoffs on your inflatable foilboard.
Rocker
The rocker on the nose and the tail of the boards has been increased to enable even easier take offs and more forgiving touchdowns.
Welded Rail Technology
The Welded Rail Technology creates a completely airtight, mechanically bonded seam without the risk of glue weakening over time. This makes Starboard inflatable boards stronger and longer lasting.
All inflatable foil boards feature welded rails, both along the board and at the foil opening.
Adjustable Footstraps Included
With an 18cm distance between the inserts, you can have a wider foot strap span for better trim and control while foiling since you can micro-adjust your feet position.
4 different positions for the footstraps in the front and 5 different positions for the straps in the back are available.
Leash, Pump and Bag
Included with the board: a coil leash, Tiki Pump with dual nozzles for both board and wing, and a travel-friendly wheelie bag that fits a complete wing foil set.
