2023 Starboard WINGBOARD
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.
INNOVATIVE WING FOIL BOARD DESIGN
When developing the new Wingboard, we focused on 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 centre 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 touchdowns 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.
CHANNEL BOTTOM
That get deeper towards the tail helps to pump, rock the board into release and also helps for stability.
CUTAWAY TAIL
Allows the board to release that much earlier and reduces the rails from catching through turning.
New FOOTSTRAP INSERTS
The new 18cm distance between the inserts allows you to have a wider footstrap span for better trim and control while foiling since you can micro-adjust your position.
New V-FOOTSTRAPS
The new front V-strap provides a more centered position on the board for more control over the foil, offers a secure fit and is easier to install. Installing the strap in the centre allows you to have the same angle for both feet with flexibility to adjust the fit depending on rising style.
(Comes with Blue Carbon and can be purchased after market for Lite Tech)
FOIL POSITION
Is optimised to provide early lift for fast take-offs and gives a very balanced trim when up and riding.
CARRY HANDLE
The carry handle is moved to the bottom of the board to avoid interfering when foiling, yet still easy to carry.
Board Constructions:
BLUE CARBON
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 a flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.
- 2 skins of durable fibreglass 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.
ASAP
AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE
- Impact-resistant high-density EVA wrapping the whole rail from nose to tail.
- Multiple layers of high-grade fiberglass are wetted out in epoxy resin wrapping the hull.
- Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity.
- Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail and nose reinforcements.
LITE TECH
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE
- Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements.
- Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.
- Comes with shoulder carry strap inserts. Starboard shoulder carry strap can be purchased aftermarket.
- All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
