THE ACE:
WHERE THERE’S CHOP, YOU NEED POP
THE DOWNWIND GAME-CHANGER FOR CHOPPY WATER AND OPEN-OCEAN CONDITIONS.
The Ace has been an original favourite since 2010, with its unique narrow tail outline and dugout standing area. With 10 years of development, the Ace has pioneered and led the innovation in dugout designs.
It is the fastest board for downwind specific races and open ocean conditions.
THE SHAPE:
> Wider tail outline creates a more parallel outline, increasing stability and control in choppy conditions.
> Slightly narrower nose outline in front of the standing area and narrower nose tip increases glide and faster acceleration into bumps.
> Dug out and lowered standing area through to the tail improves stability due to the wider and lower centre of gravity.
KEY FEATURES:
> ROUND VEE WITH DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOM
- Allows the board to sit higher on the bumps, making it float over chops with ease.
- Downwind the vee has a very smooth entry into bumps, accelerating the board into the next runner and feels more manoeuverable to change direction.
> DUGOUT STANDING AREA
The inside rails are dug out from the standing area through to the tail, providing more space to spread your feet for extra . . stability.
> FULL BOXY NOSE
- Full & boxy nose rails increases stability in side chop.
- Limits drag from water wrapping around the nose and pulling the rails.
- Provides extra buoyancy upwind and reduces the nose pitching downwind.
> CURVED NOSE KICK
Curved nose kick for easy entry into downwind bumps and lift in upwind chop.
> WIDE TAIL OUTLINE
Provides more stability when stepping back to surf and buoy turn.
>HIGH SIDEWALLS
Block water from entering the tray, offers better handling in chop and greater control surfing on rail.
> STRAIGHT RAIL SHOULDER
The rail shoulder is straighter, extending the full width at the top of the rail for extra stability.
> CONCAVE SIDE PLANE
- Provide stability directly under your feet.
- Acting like stabilisers similar to a trimaran.
> CURVED ROCKER LINE
The round vee bottom creates a curved center rocker, helping to roll into bumps with ease without pearling the nose.
> EVA DEFLECTOR
- Restricts water wrapping over the nose and entering the standing area, keeping feet dry and reducing weight.
- Sold separately aftermarket. Please contact your nearest Starboard shops.
> MULTIPLE DRAINAGE HOLES
Drain water out in seconds.
> MULTIPLE HANDLE POSITIONS
Allows you to customise the handle placement for beach starts.
