Starboard Ace Foil Lightning 2025

The aim of the Ace Foil Lightning is to offer a super-fast accelerating board to quickly catch bumps and accelerate quickly onto foil. The Ace Foil Lightning foil board is available in narrow and longer sizes than the regular Ace Foil, in fact Clement Colmas claimed victory at the 16 km EuroTour Barcelona Downwind race, dominating with a 10-minute lead using the Ace Foil Lightning board.

Key features of the Starboard Ace Foil Lightning:

• ULTRA-LIGHT WEIGHT: Minimal weight design for maximum performance and efficiency. Every gram of raw materials is scrutinized to create a durable product at the lightest weight possible.
• UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES: Narrow widths designed for speed downwind and early takeoff, quickly catching bumps and accelerating onto foil. Maintain high speeds with smooth, efficient airflow and effortless glide.
• PURE FOILING CROSSOVER: In addition to being a phenominal SUP downwinding board, the Ace Foil Lightning is a fantastic crossover range, excelling in light wind wingfoiling conditions, as well flat water foiling.
• HIGH-ASPECT PARALLEL OUTLINE: The teardrop outline is the most efficient outline, offering even volume and a stable shape. The Lightning range has a straighter parallel outline to maximise the stability from the narrow width.
• PIN TAIL: Tracking and efficiency are two key aspects of the pintail design. The pin tail offers great tracking for catching bumps, while the pin tail also brings the water back together, allowing a more efficient takeoff and touchdown with less board touching the water.
• ROUND RAILS: The rounded rails were originally designed to be easy to use in choppy ocean conditions. This same concept has been brought to the Ace Foil model, which not only creates ease in the chop but also allows the board to have an amazing spring when pumping to get on the foil.
• ROCKER: The rocker is fine-tuned for speed, spring, and larger bumps. The rockerline has been tested in a range of conditions, from flatwater to large ocean swell.
• 16” FOIL BOX: With many iterations of downwind foils hitting the market, the 16″ foil box caters to any foil preference. This downwind model features a “further forward” box for fine-tuned and comfortable downwind foiling.
