Starboard Foilboard ACE With Footstrap

FAQ

Who is the Starboard Foilboard ACE With Footstrap right for?

The ACE Foil with footstrap inserts is the preferred option for anyone looking for a versatile wingfoil crossover board that offers ultimate control and stability. It is designed for wingfoilers who want to use their board both with and without footstraps.

What construction and technology does the ACE Foil With Footstrap feature?

The board features a Blue Carbon foilboard construction: 150 g biaxial carbon wraps the deck and bottom, a high-density PVC reinforcement protects the standing area, and the lightweight foil box is equipped with five horizontal stringers and an Omega reinforcement for added stability.

What sizes is the ACE Foil With Footstrap available in?

The Starboard ACE Foil With Footstrap is available in several sizes from 6'9" x 19" to 7'10" x 23", covering different rider weight classes and intended uses.

Which foil box is installed and which foils are compatible?

The ACE Foil With Footstrap features a 2x 16" US foil box and is therefore compatible with a wide selection of popular downwind and wing foils from various brands.

What uses is the board particularly suited for?

The crossover design has been extensively tested in Thailand, Australia, the USA, and Tenerife, and is optimized for SUP downwinding, light-wind wing foiling, and SUP foil surfing. The slightly recessed standing area provides a flat, stable, and connected feel over the foil.

What design features aid take-off and tracking?

The iconic pin tail design, narrow teardrop outline, boxy rails with a parallel center section, and finely tuned rocker line work together to provide excellent tracking, efficient take-off, early lift, and smooth landings.

How does the footstrap version differ from the strapless version?

The With-Footstrap version is equipped with front and rear footstrap inserts as well as a center carry handle, making it ideal for wingfoilers who use footstraps. The strapless version omits these elements, saving weight for maximum efficiency in pure SUP downwind use.

What care instructions should be followed for the carbon foilboard?

After use, it is recommended to rinse the board with fresh water, store it away from direct sunlight, and regularly check the foil box for damage or corrosion to ensure that the carbon construction and inserts remain reliable over the long term.
