Starboard Wingboard Lite Tech 2021

WING BOARDING IS HAPPENING. AND PERFORMANCE LEVELS ARE RISING

Wing Boarding: Manche Fahrer schaffen es direkt, andere tun sich etwas schwerer. Meist liegt dies am Material und den kenntnissen der Basics.

Starboards Ziel war es, Boards zu entwickeln die früh abheben, jede Menge Balance bieten und sanft wieder in fsd Wasser eintauchen, bevor es zurück auf das Foil geht.

KEY FEATURES:

THE SHAPE
To get started we need stability and since volume works on leverage, the further away the volume is from your feet, the more stability it creates. We placed the volume in the rails, at the square nose and at the little "platform" at the tail of the board. Stability is also created by having the feet as close to the foil as possible. We do not want to foil with "High Heels", so the thinner a board is, the better it rides.

ROUND NOSE
Makes it incredibly forgiving on touchdowns as the nose bounces and skims off the large surface area, not sticking and slowing you down.

RECESSED DECK
Significantly improves stability as you have a lower centre of gravity. It also brings you closer to the foil for more control when up and riding.

THE BOXY RAILS
Pack the volume where you need it, increasing the float and stability so you can ride a narrower and shorter board.

FLAT TAIL ROCKER
And sharp rails forward increase ground speed until take off.

CUTAWAY TAIL
Allows the board to release that much earlier and reduces the rails from catching through turning.

FOIL POSITION
Is optimized to provide early lift for fast takeoffs and gives a very balanced trim when up and riding.

DRAINAGE CHANNELS
Boosts the overall float to ride such small boards.

CHANNEL BOTTOM
That get deeper towards the tail helps to pump, rock the board into release, and also helps for stability.

FOOTSTRAP INSERTS
Make it easy to know where to position the feet and always be in the right spot to trim the board.

CARRY HANDLE
The carry handle is moved to the bottom of the board to avoid interfering when foiling, yet still easy to carry.

BOARD CONSTRUCTIONS:

NEW BLUE CARBON:
LIGHTWEIGHT, 2x FULL CARBON, STRONG AND DURABLE

Full wrap of 150g Biaxial Carbon for its durable skin and strength, combined with a full UD Carbon wrap for additional stiffness and total breakage strength.

Extra glass reinforcements are positioned in the critical standing area to prevent heel dents and for extra strength over sharp edges.

New extra reinforced foil box uses a large PVC plate sandwiched between 2 x strong glass layers for the highest total breakage strength.

NEW STARLITE:
THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED

Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.

The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.

Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is outside of 2 glass skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.

LITE TECH:
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE

Extra rigidity with introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail / nose reinforcements.

Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.

All inserts have added high density foam reinforcements.
