Starboard Above Blue Carbon 2025

The Above is the Starboard mid-length foilboard range, perfect for winging earlier in lighter winds. This is the Blue Carbon finish that is lightweight, strong and durable. There is the Limited Series finish with timeless look and solid performance.

Its longer, narrower shapes help you glide faster, take off easily, and ride more stably and comfortably. Multiple volumes and sizes let beginners foil easily, while intermediates enjoy effortless freeriding in all conditions. The Above caters to a wide range of riders, from entry-level to advanced. More stable than an Ace, more efficient than a Take Off, the Above is a blend of these 2 designs.

Additional volume in the nose and tail allows for an even stance over the foil before takeoff, while the combination of a longer and narrower outline easily generates speed for early lift-off. A parallel nose with sharp rails gives the Above easy-to-recover touchdowns with instant rebound. The Above concept was inspired by blending the favorite models, incorporating speed and fast lift-off from the narrower Ace range and ideas from the top designs over the years.

Key features of the Starboard Above:

• ROUND PIN TAIL: Drawing from the success of the Ace, the pin tail helps pop the board out of the water. As you shift your weight to sink the tail, the nose lifts, forcing you to lift out of the water. The tail has a slight Vee for an efficient release, ensuring fast speed and efficiency. The wider tail offers more stability for a controlled take-off.
• BOXY RAILS: Boxy rails reduce the overall width while maintaining the stability of a wider board, leading to better efficiency and faster take-offs. This design feature, inspired by years of race development, allows riders to manage narrower boards easily.
• BOTTOM SHAPE: A rounded vee nose helps for efficient take offs and recovers well on touch downs, feeding to a flat bottom for maximum stability, exiting with a round tail for a smooth release.
• CUSTOMISABLE INSERTS: Tripple inserts are provided with the Above, giving you the ability to customise your foostrap position.
• 14” US BOX: The 14″ US box with a rear slot provides various foil positions depending on the foil type, riding style, and conditions.

IMPORTANT: Footstrap set included
