INTRODUCING THE EVOLUTION MKII GENERATION
In 2017, Starboard Foils introduced the Original foil collection that immediately set a new performance benchmark. This generation brought with it innovations such as the racing geometry, the carbon/metal hybrid construction and the all-torx assembly system - innovations adopted today by most other foil brands.
In 2019, we introduced the revolutionary High Efficiency Geometry with the Plus generation. By moving the front wing forward, the tail wing could be set at a lower angle, significantly increasing flight efficiency and control.
2021 saw the launch of the Evolution generation with its streamlined front wing mounting system.
Today, we launch the Evolution MkII generation that features a super-streamlined tail shape.
Available exclusively for the 2023 Slalom and Race foils.
THE EVOLUTION MKII FUSELAGE
Evolution MkII fuselages keep the same streamlined nose section - so front wings remain compatible.
The mast fitting also remains the same, offering mast compatibility across all Starboard Foils masts
The tail shape is new. More streamlined, we gain speed and efficiency although we sacrifice compatibility with older tail wings - going forwards, only Evo MkII tail wings will be compatible with the new fuselage.
| Available sizes: | 99 | 109 | 120 |
| Recommended for: | Slalom | Racing | Lightwind Racing |
| Equivalent fuselage size from the 'Original', 'Plus' and 'Evolution MkI' generations*: | 105* | 115* | 120** |
*With the Original and Plus generations, the fuselage extended beyond the front wing and behind the tail wing. With the Evolution MkII generation, the fuselage starts behind the front wing leading edge and ends before the tail wing trailing edge. The Evo MkII 109 therefore sounds like it's shorter than the 115 Plus fuselage, for example, but the wing positions are actually equivalent.
**The exception is with the Evolution MkII 120 fuselage: this fuselage aims to maximise the Formula Foil 120cm limit so the wings are further apart on the Evo MkII 120 compared to the Plus 120.
THE EVOLUTION MKII MAST
The new Evolution MkII carbon mast has a sharper leading edge and a razor-thin trailing edge for improved speed.
With a leading edge set at 90°, this mast provides the optimum slalom and racing foil geometry.
Available exclusively in 95cm and in C400 or C600 carbon constructions.
A LARGER RADIUS
The new Evolution MkII mast has a larger, streamlined connection radius where it connects to the fuselage - for extra torsional stiffness and strength
SLR FRONT WINGS
New thinner foil profiles with thin, narrow wing tips and an extra-high aspect ratio: the SLR wings are designed for Speed, Slalom and Race foiling.

NEW FOR 2023 LARGER WING OPTIONS FOR THE SUPERFLYER AND FREERIDE FOILS
1500 SuperFlyer Front Wing
The SuperFlyer comes with a 1300cm2 front wing. This 1500 size is an ideal second wing for heavier riders or those looking for the earliest take off possible in the lightest winds.
1500 Freeride Front Wing
The Freeride comes with a performance-orientated 1100cm2 front wing. This larger 1500 version keeps the same performance design, with just more surface area to boost light wind performance. Ideal for heavier riders and those looking to extend the light wind range of their current foil.
NEW CARBON CONSTRUCTIONS
C400
The high modulus carbon construction first used on the iQFoil mast with increased stiffness - for more control and advanced performance.
C600
The ultimate carbon spec. Exotic, exclusive, expensive. A limited number of C600 masts are available in the Evolution MkII 95cm 90° shape. The ultimate in stability, control, power and performance. This mast comes with the Slalom C600 foil set and is available as an upgrade part in limited quantities.
C800
For team riders, we've built 40 pieces of the Evolution MkII 95cm 90° mast to a new C800 spec. Similar to the C600, this mast uses a new manufacturing process that gives us the most accurate shape, the most consistent flex and the stiffest feel.
