Starboard Formula Carbon EVO

The Starboard Formula is the superlative. The most high end wind foil from Starboard with an extra rigid C400 carbon mast at an angle of 90° with a standard front wing of 1,000 cm2 and a back wing of 255 -2° of C300 carbon. Of course this foil has the new 115 cm EVO fuselage. This not only gets you to the foil quickly, but you are also the first to reach the top mark.

The Starboard Formula Evolution foil is intended for the most demanding competition surfers who want to wind upwind and downwind. The Starboard Formula EVO comes with the new 115 cm EVO fuselage. The C400 mast is not only stiffer, but also stands straighter in the board, so that the wings are about 5 cm further forward. As a result, the ‘lift point’ is further forward.

Because the lift point is further forward, you come up earlier and you fly higher to the wind and you can foil deeper downwind. The race winning foil of 2022!

This high performance foil ensures that you can already wind foil around 5 to 6 knots. The 1,000 cm2 front wing ensures good stability and easy ‘take off’ in low wind. Comes with Starboard Foilbag. Read our in-depth review on the Starboard Formula race wind foil.

Trimmable fuselage

With this fuselage you get 6 ‘spacers’ delivered to trim the angle of the rear wing. The recommended angle is -1.5 degrees or -2.0 degrees. Because the front wing is further forward than with the regular fuselage 115 cm, this fuselage gives much more lift.

-2° for >>10 knots (recommended default mode)
-1.5° for high winds 8 to 9 knots
-1° for wind speed around 7 knots
-0.5° for wind speeds around 7 knots
-0° for wind speeds around 6 knots
+1° for wind speeds around 5 knots
