Starboard Take Off XTEC Carbon D2 2027

The Take Off 2027 features a compact outline with a narrower nose, designed for agile responsiveness in wave wingfoiling and freestyle. Its shape allows for rapid acceleration, facilitates easy lift onto the foil, and offers smooth recovery after touchdowns. The sizes offered in the XTEC Carbon construction also deliver outstanding performance in freeride wingfoiling and SUP foiling.

The XTEC Carbon D2 construction evolves from the XTEC Carbon, reducing the board's overall weight. The D2 structure optimizes internal lamination to eliminate unnecessary material, creating a lighter board that accelerates effortlessly, lifts onto the foil earlier, and requires less energy to stay in flight. It utilizes expanding epoxy resin to create a durable sandwich structure that retains structural and impact strength, along with a carbon rail band that increases stiffness and break resistance, while carbon reinforcements around the foil track strengthen the highest-load area.

Starboard Take Off XTEC Carbon D2 Features:

• Surf foil performance: Compact design delivering highly responsive handling, cushioning touchdowns, and providing precise control in waves.
• Freestyle-ready control: Balanced volume, refined rocker, and optimized footstrap positioning guarantee stability and control during jumps, turns, and progressive maneuvers.
• V-Nose design on the nose: Softens contact with the water and helps smoothly recover your line after jumps, turns, or touchdowns.
• Balanced volume distribution: Optimized distribution to provide stability before takeoff and total control during flight.
• Performance outline: Pulled-in nose to improve turning and prevent catching in waves, combined with a wider tail that adds buoyancy and stability when building speed.
• Refined rocker: Slightly reduced in selected sizes for faster acceleration and earlier takeoff, while maintaining forgiving behavior during touchdowns.
• Fuller tail volume: Extra tail volume that improves trim balance and stability during the takeoff phase.
• Forward foil box position: The foil position has been shifted slightly forward in certain sizes to optimize flight trim and facilitate freestyle maneuvers.
• Updated footstrap inserts: Adjusted positions to maximize control in waves and freestyle maneuvers.
• Reinforced foil boxes: Ultra-durable system compatible with most brands. The 6’0” and 6'6" sizes come with 14″ boxes, while the 5’7” and smaller models feature 12″ boxes for a more compact feel.
