Starboard, renowned for its innovation in water sports equipment, continues to push the boundaries with its foil boards and new paddles. The 2024 lineup is designed to meet the needs of both competitive racers and recreational foilers, showcasing the brand’s commitment to performance and versatility.
Starboard Foil Boards
Starboard’s foil boards are crafted to maximize speed, control, and stability across different foiling disciplines, including SUP foiling, wing foiling, and windsurf foiling. The brand’s emphasis on lightweight construction with high-performance materials, like carbon sandwich technology, ensures responsiveness and agility on the water. Notable models, such as the “Hyper Foil” series, offer a compact shape that enhances lift-off, making it easier to catch waves and maintain speed, even in light wind conditions.

New Paddles
With the new Foil Blade, we are able to achieve super fast takeoff when foiling thanks to the instant power from the low aspect blade.
Designed with a shorter blade to avoid contact with the foil, Foil Blade provides you with more clearance and better maneuverability. Experienced downwind foilers will understand the headache of a snapped paddle blade mid-ocean. And thanks to the shorter blade height, this problem is drastically reduced.

The Foil Blade being so small is also our lightest paddle in the range—the Prepreg carbon blade comes in at 185g—and is a true joy to use over a long-distance downwind session.
Some key features for the new Foil Blade:
Seamless Connection: The Foil Blade features a new inner join from blade to shaft, providing a seamless connection for a smoother, more durable paddle experience.
Instant Power and Acceleration:
The blade’s low aspect ratio is designed for rapid acceleration, allowing you to get onto the foil with ease. Its powerful performance is ideal for down winding and quick starts, making it an essential tool for SUP foiling.
Winglets: Borrowed from advanced foil designs, the winglets around the blade’s outline reduce turbulence and flutter. This results in a smoother and more efficient pull through the water, enhancing overall paddling performance.
