Starboard Hyperfoil 6,4 supfoil

The Starboard Hyperfoil 6,4 supfoil is a complete hydrofoil by Starboard. The foil is the most determining component of performance: it defines your flight profile, useful speed range, pumping ease and overall feel in the water. A good foil + board combo always beats a premium board with a mediocre foil.

What matters when choosing a foil:

• Front wing aspect ratio:
  • Low Aspect (LA): soft lift, easy to get up, ideal for beginners. Ex: AK Trek.
  • Medium Aspect (MA): versatile, balance of speed and maneuverability. Ex: AK Tracer.
  • High Aspect (HA): long glide, race, downwind, advanced riders. Ex: AK Plasma.
• Front wing size (cm²): larger = more lift, easier to get airborne; smaller = more speed and maneuverability.
• Material: aluminum (affordable, heavy), carbon (premium, light, stiff).
• Mast length: typical 71-75 cm; 85-90 cm for race/downwind.

How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca. For your first foil, prioritize large size and low aspect ratio (easier to get up). Once you're pumping and flying comfortably, step up in aspect ratio or drop in size. Compatibility between components (mast + fuselage + wings) varies by brand and generation — always confirm before buying.
