"Electric acceleration. Unreal weight. Ridiculously responsive."
The Ace Foil Lightning just got its first official test review by Foiling Magazine, and their verdict is in: this board sets a new benchmark for performance.
"From the moment we lifted the Ace Foil Lightning out of the bag, it was clear this was something special. The weight is almost unreal... On the water, it’s sharp, precise, and ridiculously responsive." — Foiling Magazine Test Review
Designed for Speed — Tested in Real Conditions
The Ace Foil Lightning was tested in light wind and open ocean conditions, where it immediately stood out for its efficiency and responsiveness. From the moment it hit the water, the Foiling Mag team noted how “the board instantly feels efficient and eager to take flight.” The narrow outline and pointed nose help it cut through chop, while the signature Ace dugout gives riders the stability and leverage needed to connect bumps and maintain glide.
What the Reviewers Loved
One of the standout features, according to Foiling Magazine, is the board’s deep recessed deck. It lowers your center of gravity for better stability and gives you a more connected feel with the foil. They described it as “ideal for confident turning and trimming,” whether you’re downwinding, training, or just enjoying a clean glide.
They also praised the volume placement — especially in the nose — which provides forgiveness when touching down and helps the board resurface with ease. The long, parallel outline contributes to early lift, while the sleek tail gives it the agility needed for tight control when flying.
Lightweight. Premium Build. Serious Performance.
Built in our top-tier Carbon Sandwich construction, the Ace Foil Lightning is as light as it is strong. The Foiling Magazine team emphasized how the lightweight feel makes a difference during paddling, lift-off, and transitions. “There’s no doubt this is a high-end product,” they wrote — and they could feel the difference with every stroke.
