Starboard Ace Foil Lightning 8.10”x 19" 140 Litres 2026.
Next level downwind foiling, with ultra narrow sizes for the fastest accelerating downwind performance. Accelerate like never before, and achieve strikingly fast take offs. Longer and narrower sizes of the Ace Foil Lightining offer surprising stability and incredible downwind performance.
ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT
Every gram is optimized for maximum efficiency—delivering explosive acceleration downwind and an effortless transition onto foil.
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES
Narrow widths from 15″ to 19″ designed for lightning fast acceleration onto foil. Maintain high speeds in the air with smooth, efficient airflow.
PURE FOILING CROSSOVER
In addition to being our fastest SUP downwinding board, the Ace Foil Lightning is a fantastic crossover range, excelling in light wind wingfoiling conditions, as well flat water foiling.
HIGH-ASPECT PARALLEL OUTLINE
Based on a teardrop outline, the Lightning range has a straighter parallel outline to maximise the stability and efficiency.
PIN TAIL
Tracking and efficiency are two key aspects of the pintail design. The pin tail offers great tracking for catching bumps and fast and smooth takeoff and minimal catch when touching the water.
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 and is both lightning fast in take offs and forgiving in touch downs.
CORDUROY DECK PAD
Featuring a dual corduroy texture, the pad enhances board feel while delivering exceptional grip and comfort for every ride. The different orientation of the corduroy in the center of the board allows you to feel where you stand.
FLAT DECK
The deck space is maximised to the full width, offering more space and comfort from the narrow outlines.
BOARD SOCK
Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester.
