INTRODUCTION
Our dedication to innovation since 1994 made Starboard one of the first brands to offer foils.
The same spirit of innovation led to the design of some breakthrough racing foils, two back-to-back racing world titles and the introduction of foiling in the Olympics. We also introduced some engineering innovations such as the carbon/alu/carbon foil construction and side-bolts, both accepted today as common industry solutions.
Today, we’re proud to launch our 2025 UCS collection that introduces two more innovations: the Universal Connect System and an incredible wing design method we call Auto-Optimisation 7000X.
UCS is a new foil connection standard that we hope will be adopted by many brands. Look for the label “Works with UCS” and you can be confident it’ll fit and just work.
Auto-optimisation is a breakthrough foil design method developed by Martin Fischer and Mathieu Durant. It uses computers to optimise a wing design, looping thousands of times over to generate a hyper-optimised wing shape. With the right computing resources, what would take classic prototyping decades to optimise can now be done in a short time frame, giving you wings that have never felt so efficient.
2025 is truly a special year and we hope you’ll be just as excited as we are with this incredible new collection.

SPECIAL THANKS
We couldn't have done it without you
Eight years - it's been an extraordinary journey to put this new collection together. From the design team and the pro-rider team here at Starboard Foils, we'd like to thank everyone who has supported us and helped us along the way since the early days, when we were secretly making foils in the back of the Starboard workshop.
And most importantly, we'd like to thank you, who have riding with us, for your interest in our latest developments and those of you who have followed us over the years. 2025: let's go!
