Design features

Award-winning Design

Our award-winning Starboard Air Foil sets the standard for innovation and performance, praised for its lightweight, stiffness, durability, and travel-friendly design.

Deluxe Lite Construction

The lightest inflatable construction from Starboard is available in the 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 standing plate, it enhances the flight experience on the inflatable foil board, eliminating any wobbly sensations.

Air Foil Deluxe Lite comes with an aluminium plate.

Air Foil Carbon Deluxe Lite comes with a carbon plate up to 2.4kg lighter.

Carbon Standing Plate

Features enhanced slots for quick foil installation, improved standing area, and sealed EVA pad to prevent water entry.

The carbon plate increases stability and aids riders in smoother, easier takeoffs.

Vee Shaped Nose

Inspired by the proven X-15 and Take Off ranges, the Vee nose reduces drag for early takeoffs, allowing you to get up flying faster. It is more forgiving on touchdowns, enabling quick recovery to rebound and continue flying.

Available in Take Off Air Foil Deluxe Lite Carbon.

Sealed Eva Deck Pad

A closed EVA pad prevents water from entering the foil plug area from the deck, keeping the board dry and minimizing water weight during sessions.

Carry Handle Strap

Features a secure centre carry handle strap for easy handling with foil.

Curved Rocker

The rocker is lifted in the nose and tail for easier takeoffs and more forgiving touchdowns.

Compact Outline

The Take Off, which takes its inspiration from the Wingboard composite, has a balanced, wide, and short form that makes it ideal for freestyle foiling and provides good stability prior to takeoff.

Adjustable Foil Track

Designed to accommodate different foil styles, offering personalized ride adjustments.

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.

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.

Footstrap set included with Take Off Deluxe Lite Carbon only.

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.
