Design features

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 aluminium standing plate, it enhances the flight experience on the inflatable foil board, eliminating any wobbly sensations.

Wide Nose and Tail

Provide entry-level riders with enough stability, while the length and the parallel rails generate the glide and speed required to get going on foil.

Removable Mast Track

For a flush and flat deck in the paddle board mode.

Two Removable Center Fin Boxes

Closer to the rails for better tracking and upwind reach. Remove the boxes for an improved paddling experience without the added weight or drag. Attach the boxes and mount the supplied Drake Shallow center fins to prevent the board from drifting sideways when windsurfing and wingboarding.

3d Rail Edge Release Tech

A proprietary 3D elastomer compound that follows the contours of the board rail to create a release edge that allows the boards to fully plane yet fold and roll up. Thanks to this 3D Rail Edge, you can accelerate for the fastest and easiest take off possible on an inflatable foilboard.

Lightweight Eva Plug

Secure fit plug seals pocket where foil base mounts. Creates a flush smooth bottom side for the most efficient water flow under board and around foil mast.

Drop Fin Box

The outline improves the hydrodynamic efficiency of the box and reduce its drag by 50%.

Smart reinforcements reduce the weight by 10%.

Adjustable Footstrap

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.

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 paddle boards stronger and longer lasting.

All inflatable foil boards feature welded rails, both along the board and at the foil opening.

Quick Mounting System

Track nuts lock securely on the deck side for easy alignment, while mast-side bolt access lets you tighten the base from above without flipping the board.

Leash, Pump and Bag

Included with the board: a lightweight leash (70g only), Tiki Pump with dual nozzles for both board and wing, and a travel-friendly wheelie bag.
