Starboard Ace Foil Board 2026 Downwind and Wingfoil Board.
Featuring the iconic pin-tail design, the Ace Foil is designed for fast take offs and easy paddling in downwind conditions. Its teardrop outline, flat deck, and recessed standing area provide a stable, connected feel over the foil. The Ace Foil range also excels as a crossover board for both wing and paddle performance.
COMPARISON TO THE ACE FOIL AND ACE FOIL LIGHTNING
Both the Ace Foil and Ace Foil Lightning models share the same shape but differ in size scaling. The Ace Foil Lightning is longer and narrower, reducing drag and extending the waterline for faster glide and earlier takeoff—ideal for flat-water and downwind SUP foiling or racing. In contrast, the Ace Foil is slightly shorter and wider, offering a more agile and playful flight with greater maneuverability in both downwind conditions and waves. Its compact design helps limit catching during turns while extra width ensures stability. In short, the Ace Foil Lightning is optimized for speed, while the Ace Foil excels in agility and control.
