Starboard Hyper Foil SUP 7.2 2020
HYPER FOIL
SUP AND WING DEDICATED TO FOIL
The combination of a short compact outline, distinct channel bottom and thick profile makes it a platform for entry-level learning to foil up to the world’s most progressive riders.
Numerous test trips to Bali, Phuket, and continued testing in Hawaii have formed a range that excels in all types of conditions including flat-water pump foiling, wave riding and downwind racing.
*SINCE 2020, the evolution of Wing Foiling has hit the market and as such this is also a great option for wing foiling too.*
KEY FEATURES -
THE BOXY RAIL
Maximize the volume of the outline, thus creating the essential floatation and stability when paddling a shorter board.
THE STRAIGHT OUTLINE
Optimizes the volume and stability to ride a short board that is compact and easy to control when flying.
WIDE NOSE AND TAIL
Provides stability when paddling. The wide tail gives a solid platform to push down to lift up the board, while the wider nose helps release easily and lift on touch downs.
ROUND NOSE
Reduces the nose sticking and subsequent speed loss when touching down after flying. It also helps break the surface tension for faster release and lift.RECESSED DECK PAD AREA
Lowers the center of gravity for extra stability and control to slightly wedge your feet against the rails.
CHANNEL BOTTOM
Provides stability similar to a trimaran. It also increases the tracking and control which is crucial when paddling shorter boards.
The channels help reduce the wetted surface area to maintain speed on touch downs and releases earlier when getting up.
CHAMFERED RAIL
Widens towards the nose to limit the rail touching when turning and reduces surface tension, while the tail feeds into a sharp edge for extra stability and release.
SHARP CHANNEL EDGE
Gives a clean release point so the tail doesn’t drag.
ROUND TAIL KICK
Helps leverage the nose to release and pop up quickly.
EXTENDED EVA PAD
Raised EVA pad on top of the foil box helps identify the standing area without having to look down.
Gives a solid grip when paddling into waves and when trimming the board
EVA CENTER RIDGE
Makes it easy to feel and identify the middle of the board to stay centered and balanced.
NEW FOIL BOX
Is optimized for downwind, pump foiling and wave riding.
Starlite – Both Tuttle box and Plate options allow universal foil mounts.
Blue carbon – Only available with the top plate foil mount to reduce weight for lighter performance.
10″ US Box allows flexibility to adjust the foil position
CONSTRUCTION - STARLITE
PARABOLIC CARBON INNEGRA RAILS
Scratch proof Parabolic Carbon Innegra rail.
3 x Glass T-stringers from the mid point forwards significantly increases strength against total breakage.
A combination of different fiberglass densities wrap the entire hull for strength and durability.
Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistant and rigidity.
7’2″ X 27.5″ Hyper Foil
Length: 7’2” / 218 cm
Width: 27.5” / 70 cm

60-105 KG RIDER
8.54KG BOARD WEIGHT
The 7’2” gives extra glide and speed from the longer length and narrower width. The extra length makes it easier to paddle into waves with speed which helps to get up foiling quickly. It is also faster to paddle back out to catch more waves. The narrower width reduces the rail from catching or slowing down during manoeuvres.
