Starboard, an industry leader in innovative water sports equipment, proudly presents the 8’2”x18” 101L Ace Foil Lightning Zero, a revolutionary hollow-constructed foil board weighing under 4.5 kg.
By removing the foam core and employing premium, ultra-lightweight materials, this groundbreaking board pushes the boundaries of speed, lift, and flight time in foiling.
With the 8’2”x18” 101L Ace Foil Lightning Zero, we’ve taken our extensive know-how from windsurf and SUP race board construction to achieve near-zero weight. This design dramatically reduces the effort needed to get flying, and once you’re in the air, it keeps you there longer.
Hollow Construction for Effortless Lift
Zero Weight Concept – By eliminating the foam core, the board’s weight is drastically minimized, requiring less power and effort to paddle or pump onto foil.
Easier & Faster Take-Off – The hollow build adds buoyancy, giving riders a more “floaty” feel that translates to quicker starts and reduced energy loss.
Extended Flight Time – Lightweight design retains lift at lower speeds, letting riders stay airborne longer and use less energy per session.
Uncompromising Materials & Engineering
Premium Carbon Fiber – Starboard uses high-end carbon for maximum stiffness and durability with minimal weight.
Robust Framework – A closed-cell PVC core and reinforced stringers create a solid yet light platform underfoot.
Breathing & Drain Valves – Temperature-induced pressure is regulated via a self-breathing valve, while a drainage valve ensures any water inside can be easily removed.
Decades of Expertise, One Ultimate Board
Drawing on years of research and development in windsurf hollow boards and SUP race boards, Starboard engineers crafted the 8’2”x18” 101L Ace Foil Lightning Zero to excel in a range of conditions. This board represents the pinnacle of hollow construction design, delivering maximum performance without compromising structural integrity.
At under 4.5 kg, the Ace Foil Lightning Zero makes it easier to paddle up and maintain your flight—unlocking new possibilities for foilers of all levels.
