Starboard Above Blue Carbon 2026

The Above range is designed incorporating everything learned from downwind SUP and wingfoil. Starting from the long and narrow designs of the Ace Foil (highly efficient and fast in light wind), the goal has been to maintain that same early take-off ability while gaining much greater maneuverability and forgiveness on touchdowns.

To achieve this, the length has been slightly shortened, narrow outlines are retained, and a combination has been made of the parallel mid-section from the Take Off range, the pronounced V-nose of the X-15, and a slightly wider nose and tail for added forgiveness.

In short, the Above is the true “all-in-one” board that takes off earlier, turns better, and forgives more mistakes than typical long and narrow pure downwind boards.

Features of the Starboard Above:

• V-nose that reduces drag and allows soft landings with quick re-launch onto the foil.
• Parallel mid-section for balanced glide and good tracking during take-off.
• Flat deck that maximizes usable width, providing comfort and responsiveness while keeping a thin profile over the foil (larger models add extra deck volume for flotation).
• Round pin tail for excellent tracking and clean, efficient water release.
• Boxy rails that reduce overall width yet maintain stability and speed up take-off.
• Optimized bottom: rounded V in the nose transitioning to flat in the mid-section and finishing with a soft round tail = maximum stability and clean release.
• Triple footstrap inserts for fully customizable strap positions.

IMPORTANT: The board includes footstraps
