We present the Starboard Ace Foil 2026 BC.
With its iconic pin-tail design, the Ace Foil Designed for quick starts and easy paddling in downwind conditions. The teardrop shape, flat deck, and recessed standing area provide a stable, connected feel over the Foil. The Ace-FoilThe -series is also a true all-rounder for Wing- and paddle performance.
COMPARISON BETWEEN ACE FOIL AND ACE FOIL LIGHTNING
Both models, Ace Foil and Ace Foil Lightning, have the same shape but differ in size. The Ace Foil Lightning is longer and narrower, reducing drag and extending the waterline for faster gliding and earlier takeoff—perfect for flatwater, downwind SUP foiling, or racing. The Ace Foil is slightly shorter and wider, offering a more agile, playful ride with greater maneuverability in downwind conditions and in waves. The compact design prevents it from getting caught up when turning, while the extra width provides stability. In short: The Ace Foil Lightning is optimized for speed, while the Ace Foil excels in agility and control.
