new for 2018/2019
a 1100 front wing, a 110 carbon mast, an 85 alloy mast and a 95 fuselage
lots of mix and matches available now !!!

it's okay.... considering the skills, he can wear it

Will be interesting to see how the new 1000 race limited wing goes against the existing 800 wing once well powered, I suspect maybe faster upwind (from better vmg) but slower off the breeze.
The new f4 wing is 900...middle ground maybe?
I was lucky enough to try the 1100, enhanced stability, early take off and mostly goes through lulls like a breeze !
You can just pump it up and then aim downwind to stay in the air.
Only noticed a small loss of top speed (maybe 1 to 2 knots max !) When Gonzalo was here he tried the 1100 and 800 the same day with no difference at all on the gps
Starboard is really flooding the market with all those parts. A headache to make the right choice, I'm already considering the 95 fuselage....
:
The MILLENIUM front wing and in the background you can see what seems to be a Starboard ultra light foiling sail (the blue one..)
That wing is different. Any speculation on the rational behind the shape?
Are the ultralight sails cammed or no cam?
sails "looks" cammed but sincerely no idea, got the pic from a french forum. Tiesda is over there demo'ing the 2019 gear
as for the 1000 wing it is designed to be superfast upwind
Hiii
Does anyone knows for the SB foil race option of aluminium 85 mast, does it have a plate like the 75 long mast?
Thaaaanks!!
we have the info over here, exciting stuff coming our way ! so to sum up the offer :
carbon masts: 110/95/85
alloy masts :95/85/75/65
(last one for surfing, comes with a mounting plate)
rear wing : wave pro 320/230 wave 370/270
"normal" 500/330/
front wing : wave pro 1500/1300 wave 1700/1300
"normal" 1100/1000/800/550
fuselage : 115/95/75/67
Biggest question is, are the PWA going to go back to 1.0m for 2019-2020......? I hope they stick to 91, easier to transport and won't make '18/'19 boards literally worthless at the top end in <12 months. And are the going to bring in a mast length rule?
It's an arms race at the moment....
Sean- left field query that hopefully you or another starboard foil owner can answer .....for the different starboard fuselages is the ratio of the distance that each wing ( front and rear) is mounted relative to the mast the same for each ?
Reason for the question is that I was thinking of making a longer fuselage for my NP RSX foil hence am interested in the starboard approach as they seem to be leading the charge with flexibility
thanks
Adam
Thanks Steve certainly interested to know how the ratio changes.
hope all ok after your operation. Am hoping to be back on the water in the next 4/6weeks ...Am finally walking again on the foot after what is I think 10 weeks now since falling
yes no question a ways to run yet in foil design but at current rates won't take long ...
Hi Adam
roughly measured it on both actual fuselages :
dist to front wing insert from mast
race 20
gt 8
dist to stab insert from mast
race 48
gt 20
The race set up certainly makes you move your front foot/or body stance forward
Our local legend J lou colmas (creator of starboard) is full on windfoiling at the moment, he's gone totally strapless to be able to use the race all the time.
He wasn't too happy with the length though, so he's been chopping down and grinding a couple of race fuselage to find the sweet spot.
That's maybe where the new 95 is coming from
Excellent thanks Sean - think still lots to come here as it's all about stability and once my foot is good will be going 'semi strapless' ( bought some half straps to try!) can't afford another foot layoff
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and really appreciate the lively discussion and the knowledge here. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting myself a Starboard race set up and am trying to getting my head around if I should opt for the Race (front wing 800, mast 95) or the Race Pro (front wing 1000, mast 110), otherwise similar (fuselage 115 and back wing 255). I know that one might mix the SB foil parts in other combinations but these are the options primarily on offer where I am. I'm tempted by the Race Pro since my usual spot is haunted by light winds but I guess there are trade-offs to be made here in performance but not sure how they play out. I'm currently on a NP RS alu flight that I'm starting to have really fun with, but it requires stronger winds (12-22 knots) and I have no problems riding it in winds gusting between 8-22 knots. Maybe some of you have experience of SB foils or sufficient insights to answer some of these questions:
1) How does the SB Race Pro set up behave compared to the Race set up in stronger winds, say 15-22 knots?
2) Does the higher mast makes the Race Pro trickier to ride?
3) Does the higher mast mean considerably more forces on the fin box so boards with regular deep tuttle-boxes (not foil-ready boards) should be avoided?
3) Is the Race Pro really slower than the Race as the SB 2019 catalogue says? I've read here that a pro indicated no big differences on the gps readings.
4) Does the Race Pro need a wider board and/or bigger sail than the Race?
Grateful for any replies/advises.

Hi Adam
from rear of mast to front of stab : 48 cm
from rear of mast to actual stab wing : 53.5cm
see pic (sorry, night time):
from front of mast to front wing with body part : 20 cm
from front of mast to actual front wing : 24 cm
As you may notice I use the large stab( cause that's all I have..)
So to counteract the powerful lift and need of front foot pressure I was advised to put a washer under the center bolt of the stab. (that way the front part of the stab doesn't stick out and create unwanted vortex/whistling ).
I works a treat !!! yesterday I was using it in 17 knts with a 7.0 OD, perfect stability !!
I can now keep my $$ for other toys instead of buying the race stab (not to mention how good it is is very light wind)
