Starboard Foilboard Pump 3,1 x 16 test

The Starboard Foilboard Pump 3.1 x 16 test is a Starboard foil board. Board shape and volume are critical to your progression: a board with too little volume for your level frustrates you; one with too much feels "heavy" once you're flying.

How to choose volume for wing-foil:

• Progression: rider weight in kg + 30 to 40 L (e.g., 75 kg → 105–115 L).
• Intermediate: weight + 5 to 15 L (e.g., 75 kg → 80–90 L).
• Advanced: weight or slightly below (e.g., 75 kg → 65–75 L).

Most common constructions:

• Bamboo / composite: more affordable, durable, balance of weight and value.
• Carbon: lighter and stiffer, premium, better response.
• Inflatable: portable, great for travel, trades some performance.

How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca. If you're torn between two sizes, go larger for progression and smaller for advanced level. For versatile freeride, Take Off or Phazer-style boards are the best sellers. For wave foil, look for specific shapes (Rocket Wing-S, ACE Foil).
