MORE CONTROLLED & AGILE FLIGHT
EASY TOUCH DOWN
Olympic windsurfing and thin performance surfboards inspired this design.
The Wingboard is the board designed for maximum progression, early and gradual lift onto the foil, more control and agile flight, super easy touchdowns.
Our 2024 Wingboard design is designed to get you up and foiling, aimed at beginner to intermediate foilers wanting to progress their foiling to the next level, with design language borrowed from our windsurf development team.
A comprehensive six-board range allows foilers of all sizes to enjoy the sensation of flight.
Cutaways were introduced in 1999, and the wing systems were developed for our IQFoil Olympic boards to allow wide tail boards an easy liftoff and easier touchdown.
The Wingboard maximizes on-water balance with high volume at the tail, nose, and rails.
Further away from your feet, you feel the stability due to volume leverage.
On the deck make it comfortable to rest the foot when in the kneeling position.
From the deck when the board starts accelerating.
Reduce knee rash while providing ample traction.
Helps guide any water in the standing area to flush out quickly at the tail.
Accelerates the water and creates a rocking effect that helps the board get into a lift position.
At the tail act as stabilizers while lifting out of the water when the board gains speed, reducing the wetted surface and allowing the board to accelerate smoothly while on water.
Helps make the critical transition from water to air seamless, while the sharp rails are vital to accelerate into early lift and flight.
Flows all the way from the nose to the foil, making it easy to get airborne in choppy waters and letting the board skim during touchdowns for easy rebound.
Improves straight-line tracking, allowing you to paddle straighter on one side for longer.
• Creates smoother glide and adds stability.
• Feel more controlled and less twitchy when switching between strokes.
Reduces board length, allowing you to have a shorter, more controllable, and more agile board.
Come from the reduced thickness in the standing area, as your feet are close to the foil, much like a thin surfboard.
Has added volume right behind your back foot, while the side of the tail is carefully rounded for nice air flow when you hit higher speeds, giving you a smooth and stable flight.
Lets the foil sit further forward, reducing the board area in front of you and creating a more maneuver-oriented feel.
On the nose to attach accessories like a GoPro, phone holder, compass or GPS.
(Only on Starlite model)
• Single centre fin positioned far back to the tail for straight-line tracking.
• Supplied with Dol-fin 22″ for enhanced tracking and added stability.
• Starlite comes with Armacore fins. Lite Tech comes with Net Positive fins.
Are aiding your touchdown and redirecting you into a new lift position.
Is reduced at the tail, so when you come down for a landing, the board’s nose will easily angle itself upwards towards flight mode
Has added volume right behind your back foot, while the side of the tail is carefully rounded for nice air flow when you hit higher speeds, giving you a smooth and stable flight.
Help you choose wider or more narrow straps.
Give more control, and wider straps are easier to trim.
Will have inserts angled more towards the middle so you can stand closer to the middle and gain more control, while smaller boards will have inserts angled more outwards for agility.
Allows for foils from most brands and is extra reinforced to ensure stability and a direct transfer of energy from the foil to your feet.
Makes it easy to carry the board towards the water with all four fingers.
• Designed for the best comfort and performance in wingboarding, utilising the best Yulex neoprene construction in the industry to deliver a soft and secure footstrap.
• With a 60 degree angle, the new footstrap is designed to perfectly mould to the shape of your foot when inserted in our range of foil boards.
• Multiple footstrap screw holes are built into the reinforced yulex, giving riders the adjustability to angle the footstrap in their preferred riding position and angle.
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.

THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED
• Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.
• 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.
• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE
• Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements.
• Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.
• All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE
• Impact-resistant high-density EVA wrapping the whole rail from nose to tail.
• Multiple layers of high-grade fiberglass are wetted out in epoxy resin wrapping the hull.
• Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity.
• Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail and nose reinforcements.

“On the water, the board felt SO stable! The added width in the center of the board mixed with the recessed deck really contributes to that stability. The board was also easy to turn when stepping back towards the tail. When it comes to the glide if you’ve got the right technique and power behind…”
REVIEWED STARBOARD TOURING
“In this SUPboarder review, we look at the mother of all hard (composite) touring boards – The Starboard Touring 14′. It’s a long touring board offering a massive amount of glide and space, allowing you to carry plenty of gear to last you a while off the beaten track. And as well as touring this board could be a great 14 foot racer at the weekends too!”
TESTED 14’0″ TOURING
For every board Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation.
Each tree absorbs 673kg of CO2 during its first 25 years.
50% of absorption goes towards offsetting this board & 50% is secured as carbon credits to fund livelihood projects in Myanmar.
The average emission from a Starboard board is 100 kg CO2.
By planting 3 trees per board we offset this 10 x over.
The Wingboard has an average carbon footprint of 130.6 kg per board.
1.4 kg of trash is collected per board by starboard pop crews at beaches in Thailand & Myanmar.
Globally, an individual is responsible for 1.4 kg of plastic reaching the ocean every year.
Starboard balances this amount for our customers.
The Wingboard has an average plastic content of 11.8 kg per board.
