The Starboard MF 820 arrives with some serious race-winning pedigree. Developed by Martin Fischer and Mathieu Durand, the MF range is all about maximum glide, sustained flight and efficiency, with the 820 sitting in a sweet spot for downwind foiling and riders looking to cover serious distance.

It’s also built around Starboard’s UCS system, creating a modular foil platform with a standardised connection across the current Starboard foil range.

Jack Galloway has been putting the MF 820 and UCS system through their paces for Tonic Mag. In this review, he takes a closer look at the design, setup and construction before getting it on the water to find out how that impressive efficiency translates into real-world performance.
