Starboard Wingboard Blue Carbon

FAQ

Who is the Starboard Wingboard Blue Carbon suitable for?

The wingboard is aimed at beginners and advanced riders who want to specifically improve their wingfoil skills. Thanks to the well-thought-out shape geometry with high volume in the nose, tail, and rails, the first take-off is easy, while advanced riders benefit from the agile, short outline for controlled flight positions and clean touchdowns.

What material is the board made of and what makes the Blue Carbon construction special?

The board is laminated with high-quality 150 g biaxial carbon on the deck and bottom. A special process creates a double carbon stringer, which significantly increases the breaking strength and stiffness. This means you fly with a lighter, stiffer, yet robust board.

Which design details ensure stability and durability?

In the standing area, high-density PVC reinforces the board and prevents dents in the heel area. An arrow-shaped PVC stringer above the foil provides additional stiffness, which is crucial for long, narrow shapes. Lightweight biaxial carbon fibers on the deck and bottom round off the stiff, durable setup.

Which sizes are available for the Starboard Wingboard Blue Carbon?

The Blue Carbon line is available in several sizes from 4.6 x 24.5 to 7.2 x 32, so that there is the right shape for different body weights and skill levels. Which size is currently available in our shop, you can see directly in the size selection.

How do you achieve an early start into the foil and why are touchdowns so forgiving?

The curved inner channel accelerates the water and creates a rocking effect that brings the board into the lift position early. The rounded nose with a V-shape and the cutaways at the tail ensure that landings are gentle and barely noticeable.

Which components and accessories are included?

The delivery includes the wingboard and the matching foot straps. The foil itself is not included, so you can freely combine your preferred setup.

How do I properly care for and transport the wingboard?

Rinse the board with fresh water after contact with salt water and let it dry before storage. For transport, a suitable board bag is recommended to protect the high-quality carbon construction from scratches and UV radiation.

Under which conditions is the wingboard the most fun?

The shape is designed for typical wingfoil areas: flat water, choppy water, and light to medium waves. The short, agile sizes play out their strength in jumps and freestyle, while the larger volumes provide stable lift and easy take-offs in lighter wind.
