FLY HIGH – TRAVEL LIGHT
The well-loved Ace Foilboard is now part of the inflatable range, offering the most compact and travel-friendly board without compromising on performance for downwind SUP foiling and lightwind wingfoil days.
This is our review with Carsten Kurmis from Starboard in Germany
Design Features
Crossover SUP Foil and Wingfoil This board excels as a crossover for wingfoiling, performing well in both low and high wind conditions.
Enhanced Stability and Control The innovative V-shape, paired with a wider, flat-standing deck featuring inverted EVA trays, maximizes stability. This design enhances comfort while paddling in choppy waters and allows for a more forgiving, wider staggered stance.
New Deluxe Lite Construction The Ace Air Foil range now includes Starboard’s lightest inflatable construction. This feature enables earlier takeoffs, faster flights in lighter winds, and energy conservation 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.
VEE BOTTOM SHAPE
The new unique Vee shape is designed to make take off and touch down easier.
WIDER FLAT DECK
The new EVA tray provides a wide, flat standing area for greater stability and comfort in choppy waters.

NARROW TAIL
The narrower tails are easier to sink and the more rounded noses touch down less frequently.
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.
NEW ROCKER
The rocker on the nose and the tail of the boards has been increased to enable even easier take offs and more forgiving touchdowns.

WELDED RAIL TECHNOLOGY
The Welded Rail Technology creates a completely airtight, mechanically bonded seam without the risk of glue weakening over time.
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.
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.
