Starboard ACE Foil 2024 SUP Downwind Foil Board
The Starboard ACE Foil 2024 is Starboard's best-selling SUP downwind foil board. Teardrop outline, pin-tail and recessed deck for direct connection to the foil. 4 sizes: 6'9 (85 L), 7'0 (100 L), 7'4 (120 L), 7'10 (~150 L). 16" extra-reinforced foil box.
The Starboard ACE Foil 2024 is the reference SUP downwind foil board in Starboard's range. Designed for open-water downwinders and as a crossover between SUP foil, light wind wing and SUP surf foil. Its teardrop outline with pin-tail is the most efficient hydrodynamic shape for long glide and easy small-wave take-offs.
Sizes and volumes (4 options)
| Size | Volume | Main use |
|---|---|---|
| 6'9" × 19" | 85 L | Competition, elite riders ≤80 kg |
| 7'0" × 20" | 100 L | All-round, also a big-wave SUP |
| 7'4" × 21.5" | 120 L | Best-seller: 75-110 kg riders, progressive downwind |
| 7'10" × 23" | ~150 L | Heavy riders or downwind SUP foil learners |
Design
- Teardrop outline: the most efficient natural shape. Long glide, clean take-offs.
- Pin-tail: clean water release and better in-line tracking.
- Recessed standing area: slightly sunken deck for a more connected foil feel and lower centre of gravity.
- 16" foil box: extra-reinforced, "further forward" position for fine downwind tuning, compatible with most foils on the market.
Applications
- SUP downwinding: the main discipline. Cover distance with bumps behind you.
- Light wind wing: larger sizes work as a crossover in very light wind sessions.
- SUP surf foil: smaller sizes for paddling into waves and controlled flight.
How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca
The ACE Foil 7'4 (120 L) is our star pick for 75-90 kg riders moving into SUP foil downwind. The traction of the teardrop with pin-tail is hard to match. If you have spots with consistent bumps (Can Pastilla (Playa de Palma) or Alcúdia in tramontana conditions), this board is a game changer.
