2025 Starboard FOIL FREERIDE Wood Sandwich
Starboard’s FOIL FREERIDEs continue to dominate the market as the ultimate choice for freeride foil boards. Setting new standards and consistently surpassing expectations, these boards offer unmatched versatility and exhilarating performance. With a perfect blend of balance and control, effortless take-offs and exhilarating flights are simply second nature. Elevate your freeride foiling to the next level.
THE FOIL FREERIDE IN DETAIL
To enhance performance, we have focused on reducing aerodynamic drag by implementing a lower rocker profile. Additionally, we have incorporated a massive vee design, which effectively minimizes the risk of catapults, allowing riders to push their limits with confidence. Improved take-offs are now achieved through the progressive tail kick, providing the necessary speed for a seamless transition onto the foil. This design element optimizes the board’s performance and enhances the overall foiling experience. Both sizes have been renamed to represent their respective widths: 75 and 85. These changes ensure a more precise selection process, catering to individual preferences and skill levels.
IMPROVED VOLUME DISTRIBUTION AND REDUCED SWING WEIGHT
Further enhancing manoeuvrability, the FOIL FREERIDE features shorter noses and mast tracks. These design elements promote easy take-offs, and also reduce swing weight, providing a lighter and more floating sensation. Improved volume distribution, thin profiles, and flat decks contribute to enhanced stability and control.
SEAMLESS AND CONFIDENT ACTION
Experience quick planing and early take-offs with the FOIL FREERIDE. Effortless landings and relaunches are facilitated by increased nose rocker. The board’s hard rail edges ensure confident rebounding off the water during touchdowns.
FOIL-OPTIMIZED PADS
The FOIL FREERIDE is equipped with thin pads specially designed for enhanced control and feedback during foiling. These pads are engineered to absorb fewer impacts, while the diamond grooves ensure perfect grip.
YULEX NEOPRENE
For a comfortable and reliable connection during long freeride adventures, the Jim Drake foot straps are constructed using premium Yulex foam and the smoothest fabric available.
RECOMMENDED FOILS
Consider pairing the FOIL FREERIDE with Starboard Evolution Foils such as the SuperFlyer, Freeride, Slalom, or Race models for optimal performance.

WOOD SANDWICH
LIGHTWEIGHT BOARDS DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP AS OUR LOWEST CARBON FOOTPRINT
