Fresh DEEP DIVE reviews from Foiling Magazine have just dropped — taking an in-depth look at the all-new Starboard VIVA Wing and ABOVE Foilboard.
Review #1 — VIVA Wing
Described by Foiling Magazine as a “predictable and performant platform”, the all-new VIVA Wing impressed the Deep Dive crew with its balanced all-round feel, powerful low-end, smooth drift and durable construction. From freeride and waves to freestyle and big air, the VIVA was praised for its easy-to-access power, stable handling and confidence-inspiring control across a huge range of conditions and rider levels — earning standout 10/10 scores for both overall stability and durability. Watch the full DEEP DIVE and read the complete review to see why the VIVA is shaping up to be one of the benchmark do-it-all wings on the market.
Review #2 — ABOVE Foilboard
Initially met with curiosity and scepticism thanks to its unique nose shape and generous rocker, the new ABOVE Foilboard quickly won over the Deep Dive testers once it hit the water. Praised for its exceptional stability, efficient take-off and surprisingly accessible performance, the ABOVE blends Starboard’s SUP and windsurf heritage into a highly versatile foilboard platform built for everything from wingfoiling to parawing adventures. With perfect 10/10 scores across all stability categories and take-off, the review highlights why the ABOVE is becoming a standout option for riders looking for effortless usability without sacrificing performance. Dive into the full review and watch the DEEP DIVE to see what makes the ABOVE so unique.
