Starboard is proud to announce the launch of the 2025 Above and Above Air ranges, designed for riders seeking versatile mid-size foilboards to elevate their performance. These boards are optimized for wingfoiling, SUP foiling, and prone foiling, combining cutting-edge design with Starboard’s commitment to innovation.
DESIGNED TO PERFORM, BUILT TO INSPIRE
The Above range was inspired by lessons learned from Starboard’s downwind SUP and wingfoiling designs. Drawing from the efficiency of the Ace Foil, the forgiving shape of the Take Off, and the smooth touchdowns of the X-15, the Above range combines speed, stability, and maneuverability in a single, versatile package
The Above offers a compact and efficient design for fast takeoffs, smooth touchdowns, and stable rides. Available in 5 sizes ranging from 75L to 140L, the Above range ensures there’s an option for every rider, from lightweight foilers to those seeking more volume for stability and light wind performance.
Perfectly sized for versatility, these boards deliver responsive handling and exceptional control, whether you’re winging in light winds, surfing waves, or freeride foiling.
