ACE AIR FOIL INFLATABLE

FLY HIGH, TRAVEL LIGHT

The popular Ace Foil board has been incorporated into the inflatable range for the most compact and travel-convenient SUP downwind foiling experience.

The Ace Air Foil features our patented top plate design for direct flight responsiveness and ultimate rider sensation when on foil. We’ve also upgraded it to the carbon plate, which is up to 2.4kg lighter than its aluminium predecessor.

This board is also a fantastic crossover board for wingfoiling, both in the low and the high end. The board’s high nose and tail rocker combined with the narrow yet long outlines result in easy and early takeoffs and forgiving touchdowns.

The Ace Air Foil range features 2 sizes from 100 to 120 litres which cover diverse rider sizes, skill and condition requirements.
Only available in a Carbon top plate version to maximize the lightweight performance of the range.

THE LEGACY, REBORN

The famous Ace raceboard from Starboard was an industry first design that reimagined the downwind raceboard design. First produced as a 12’6” SUP Race board and debuting at the Battle of the Paddle in 2009, the ACE was available in many iterations and sizes from 12’6” – 14’0” models between 2009 – 2021.
It has evolved once again and been reborn, now as an inflatable downwind board.

WELDED RAIL TECHNOLOGY

Every Starboard inflatable board features welded rails. The Welded Rail Technology creates a completely airtight, mechanically bonded seam without the risk of glue weakening over time. This makes Starboard inflatable foil boards stronger and longer lasting.

NEW PATENTED PLATE TECHNOLOGY

• Distance between the feet and the foil is less than 1.5 cm.
• Direct response, more control and better flight sensation.
• No more wobbly sensations in the interaction between the rider and the foil.

ADJUSTABLE FOOTSTRAPS

• Because there is 18cm distance between the inserts, it allows you to have a wider footstrap span for better trim and control while foiling since you can micro-adjust your feet’s position.
• 4 different positions for the footstraps in the front and 5 different positions for the strap in the back are available.

NEW ACE OUTLINE

The teardrop outline is the most efficient outline, offering even volume and a stable shape.

NEW NARROW WIDTH

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 model is available in narrow sizes from 19″ up to 23″.

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.

NEW ROCKER

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

EDGE RELEASE

Starboard’s Rail Edge invention improves planing before taking off. A proprietary 3D elastomer compound Rail Edge runs along the rails of the board, creating a defined edge that allows for a clean water release and improved take-off speed, yet can fold and roll up.

COMES WITH EPP PLUG

For a flush finish at foil mount cavity to improve the water & airflow on the underside of board.

INCLUDED PUMP

FAST, EASY, AND COMFORTABLE

Fixed hose and manometer position when inflating.
10% more efficient thanks to the redesigned piston and outside tube for the air outlet. Plus, double and single action pumping modes and wider foldable foot base increases stability when pumping.
2 nozzles, you will be able to use it both for your Air Foil board and your FreeWing.

ONE BAG TO FIT THEM ALL

Specially designed for the Ace Air Foil board.

Enough space to fit an Air Foil board, a hydro foil set, a pump and a FreeWing comfortably.

FREE COIL LEASH

• The leash will not get in your way when foiling but is long enough to give you distance when falling.

AIR FOIL CARBON

BEST VALUE, WELDED, AND LIGHTEST

With only the best core essentials. Built with single-layer Linear dropstitch making it even lighter and stiffer than before. This Linear knitted dropstitch was developed by Starboard with its supplier for Starboard use ONLY.
The Heat Welded rails create a complete airtight, mechanically bonded seam without the risk of glue weakening over time. Making the board stronger and last longer.

NEW 6’10″ x 21″ / 100 L

Our smallest and fastest design. The goal with the 6’10″ is to create the best portable downwind foil board on the market, targeted for riders up to 80kg. The 6’10″ boasts an incredibly fast takeoff and excellent handling on ocean bumps. It’s narrow enough to experiment with prone downwind foiling while being comfortable enough for an advanced rider to use as an advanced downwind SUP foil board.
