      ACE FOIL LIGHTNING


      LIGHTNING-FAST ⚡️




      Designed for speed downwind and early takeoff. The aim of the Ace Foil is to offer a super-fast accelerating board to quickly catch bumps and accelerate quickly onto foil. The Ace Foil Lightning foil board is available in narrow sizes from 15″ up to 19″.

       


      ULTRA-LIGHT WEIGHT

      Minimal weight design for maximum performance and efficiency. Every gram of raw materials is scrutinized to create a durable product at the lightest weight possible.


      UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES

      Narrow widths from 15″ to 19″ designed for speed downwind and early takeoff, quickly catching bumps and accelerating onto foil. Maintain high speeds with smooth, efficient airflow and effortless glide.


      PURE FOILING CROSSOVER

      In addition to being a phenominal SUP downwinding board, the Ace Foil Lightning is a fantastic crossover range, excelling in light wind wingfoiling conditions, as well flat water foiling.


       

      NARROW SIZES

      From 15″ to 19″, the Ace Lightning models are designed for maximum efficiency and speed. The longer lengths provide float and allow for fast paddling into bumps and onto the foil, while the narrow width limits drag during touchdowns and flight.


       

      NEW PIN TAIL

      Tracking and efficiency are two key aspects of the pintail design. The pin tail offers great tracking for catching bumps, while the pin tail also brings the water back together, allowing a more efficient takeoff and touchdown with less board touching the water.


       

      FLAT DECK

      The deck is kept flat to utilize the full width, offering more space and comfort from these narrow outlines.


       

      NEW ROUND RAILS

      The rounded rails were originally designed to be easy to use in choppy ocean conditions. This same concept has been brought to the Ace Foil model, which not only creates ease in the chop but also allows the board to have an amazing spring when pumping to get on the foil.


       

      NEW ROCKER

      The rocker is fine-tuned for speed, spring, and larger bumps. The rockerline has been tested in a range of conditions, from flatwater to large ocean swell.


       

      BRUSHED DECK PAD

      The new brushed deck pad is less abrasive on the knees while offering comfort and grip. The Ace Foil Lightning also features a kickpad for improved control and a reference point when stepping back.


       

      NEW 16” FOIL BOX

      With many iterations of downwind foils hitting the market, the 16″ foil box caters to any foil preference. This downwind model features a “further forward” box for fine-tuned and comfortable downwind foiling.


       

      BOARD SOCK

      Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.
