Starboard Air Foil Deluxe Lite

FAQ

What is the Starboard Air Foil Deluxe Lite?

The Starboard Air Foil Deluxe Lite is an inflatable wing board with an integrated aluminum deck plate for wing foiling. It uses Woven Dropstitch construction and Welded Rail Technology, making it, according to Starboard, the lightest inflatable design in the Air Foil series.

Who is the board suitable for?

The board is aimed at wing foilers looking for an inflatable, travel-friendly foil board. Depending on the size, it covers a wide range of riders, so both beginners and advanced riders will find suitable volumes.

How does the Deluxe Lite differ from the Carbon version?

The Deluxe Lite version is equipped with an aluminum deck plate. The Carbon version comes with a carbon deck plate that is up to 2.4 kg lighter than the aluminum plate, according to Starboard.

Which technologies provide direct foil feedback?

The patented Top Plate Technology places your feet just 1.5 cm above the foil, combined with the solid deck plate for direct feedback without a wobbly feel. The adjustable foil track also allows you to adjust the foil trim to your riding style and foil type.

Why is the board so stiff despite being inflatable?

The combination of Woven Dropstitch and the welded rail construction (Welded Rail Technology) eliminates the risk of glue bonds weakening over time. The rails are welded both along the board and at the foil opening, making the board airtight, robust, and durable.

How do you get up and out of the water as early as possible with the board?

The Curved Rocker is raised at the nose and tail, which makes takeoffs easier and forgives touchdowns. The 3D Rail Edge Release Tech allows the board to plane on the water while still being foldable and rollable, so you can lift off particularly easily and early on an inflatable foil board.

What is included in the delivery?

The delivery includes a Coilleash, the Tiki Pump with a double nozzle for the board and wing, and a travel-friendly Wheelie Bag that fits a complete wing foil set. Screws for the Top Plate are also included.

How do I transport and store the board?

Thanks to the inflatable construction and the 3D Rail Edge Release Tech, the board can be rolled up and stored compactly in the included Wheelie Bag. This makes it ideal for travel, the car, and the home.
