Meet The 2026 Starboard Foils Range
Starboard Foils unveils its most advanced, yet most intuitive range to date.
Engineered to cover every foiling discipline, the 2026 lineup seamlessly spans surf, freestyle, downwind exploration and high-speed racing across prone, SUP, wing and windsurf foiling.
At the heart of this evolution is a powerful collaboration. Led by founder and chief designer Tiesda You, and developed alongside world-class naval architect and America’s Cup foil engineer Martin Fischer, key shapes have been refined using the groundbreaking 7000x Auto-Optimisation process.
The result? A true step-change in efficiency, control and glide.
“I was skeptical when Martin Fischer explained the process, but when I tried the wings on the water, I was blown away. The process not only works, but it’s a leap. There will be a time before and after this milestone.”

Beyond performance, the range is built around the UCS (Universal Connection System), giving riders fully modular freedom to mix, match and precisely tune their setup. Designed as a simple, strong and streamlined assembly standard, UCS delivers a stiffer, more refined connection — and as an open standard, it aims to unify the industry much like USB-C did for electronics.
