The X-15 Wingboard takes inspiration from our renowned X-15 Windsurfing Foil Slalom Boards and incorporates elements from our best-selling Wingboards. This board is crafted to deliver exceptional early planning capabilities and high-speed performance with low lift foils.
Why one-design racing though? Well, it’s a whole lot more fun when everyone is in the same “race car”! One-design racing is popular, largely because homogenous equipment inherently introduces elements of fairness. That means no decisions, and no second guessing. And the gear stays the same for longer so you don’t have to update it every year – avoiding the much criticised “pay to win” or “pay to play” aspects of traditionally material-driven sports like sailing where costly more advanced equipment creates a huge advantage for those who wield it.
Specifically built to cater a large range of winds, the X-15 is the board of choice in any wind range. We have presented only one size as we believe this is the best size for racers intermediate to advanced, in almost every wind condition.
The progressive tuck line and tail kick design, resembling the shape of a water droplet.
The X-15 is designed with a large nose Vee built into the nose rocker. This shape has been designed and tested for extreme winds, able to touch down at full speed with no effect.
Inserts for foot strap placements are tuned for maximum control during high speed racing and feature a range of insert options for different wind speeds and foil configurations.
For the best possible connection to the foil, the tuttle box brings your foil millimeters to your foot for the best control at high speeds.
A slightly recessed standing area gives the rider the most precise positioning and connection to the foil. Built to be aerodynamically efficient while accommodating for the most natural feel at high speeds.
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.
Creates a cleaner and smoother release, reducing tail wake and increasing glide efficiency.

• All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
The 82L X-15 is our performance wing racing concept, built for speed and designed to accommodate a range of racers. With a blend of streamline aerodynamics, and 82L of volume, the X-15 is made to compete in various races and in all wind ranges. This model features a slightly lowered standing area for excellent control.

The 95L X-15 is a high-performance racing machine, designed for speed, features an aerodynamic design for efficient and stable flight. The increased volume (up from 82L) ensures earlier and easier take off for heavier riders, and is the designated model for the Men’s category of the X-15 Class. This board excels in various racing conditions and wind ranges. The slightly lowered standing area provides exceptional control and stability, allowing riders to push their limits.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon Sandwich
Length: 10’2″ / 310 cm
Width: 29″ / 74 cm
The lightweight and shorter length offer easier maneuverability and fast turning. Narrow width improves tracking from being able to hold the paddle straighter in the water.
Available construction:
• Starshot Tikhine

“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
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 X-15 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 X-15 has an average plastic content of 11.8 kg per board.
