2025 STARBOARD ACE FOIL LIGHTNING 8'2 X 18" BLUE CARBON - NO FOOTSTRAPS - NOV 2024 ARRIVAL
| Availability: | In stock |
ACE FOIL LIGHTNING
Designed to have lightning-fast acceleration, the Ace Foil 8’2″ x 18″ lets you downwind with smaller, faster foils. It's more parallel outline provides more stability than the previous season's model.
The narrow and longer shape is made for distance foiling, giving you excellent glide to easily get onto the foil and a narrow width for acceleration.
The deck is flattened and widened to maximize the standing width of the board.
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.
Estimated Board weight = 12.54 lbs
VOLUME of the 8'2 x 18" size = 101 L
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES
Narrow width of 17″ designed for speed downwind and early takeoff, quickly catching bumps and accelerating onto foil. Maintain high speeds with smooth, efficient airflow and effortless glide.
FOILING CROSSOVER DESIGN
In addition to being a phenomenal 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 maximize 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.
FLAT DECK
The deck is kept flat to utilize the full width, offering more space and comfort from the narrow outline.
ROUND RAILS
Rounded rails are designed to be easy to use in choppy ocean conditions. This design 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 updated rocker line has been tested in a range of conditions, from flatwater to large ocean swell to ensure maximum versatility and performance.
BRUSHED DECK PAD
The new brushed deck pad is less abrasive on the knees while offering comfort and grip. The Ace Foil Lightning also features a kick pad for improved control and a reference point when stepping back.
NEW 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.
BOARD SOCK
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.
