2025 Starboard Ace Air DLX Lite Inflatable Foil Board

The popular Ace Foilboard has been incorporated into the inflatable range for the most compact and travel convenient board created uncompromised experience in downwind SUP foiling and lightwind wingfoil days.

The board’s high nose and tail rocker combined with the narrow yet long outlines results in easy and early takeoffs, as well as forgiving touchdowns.

What's New In 2025?

• NEW Deluxe Lite Construction - Featuring the new Woven Single layer Deluxe Lite construction, we achieved a significant weight reduction of up to 500g lighter. Combined, with the ultra-stiff woven tech, we now have a board that is stiffer and lighter for earlier take-off, faster speeds while foiling, is easier to wing in lighter winds, and conserves energy with every stroke or pump.
• NEW V Shape
• NEW Wider Flat Standing Deck - Wide standing for max stability, narrow hull for fastest speeds. An inverted EVA tray gives a wider, flatter standing for increased stability and control. This makes it more comfortable when paddling in choppy waters and more forgiving to hold a wider staggered stance. The wider deck does not slow the board down; below the apex, the board has a narrower hull surface for the most efficient glide.
• NEW Eva Plug
• NEW Sizes 8’2”x18” and 8’2”x23”

Features:

• DIRECT FOIL RESPONSE - Patented Top Plate Technology, with just 1.5 cm between your feet and the foil, provides direct feedback and improved control. Combined with the solid carbon standing plate, it enhances the flight experience on the inflatable foil board, eliminating any wobbly sensations.
• NEW VEE BOTTOM SHAPE - The new unique Vee shape is designed to make take off and touch down easier. Its innovative design provides enhanced stability and control, allowing for smoother transitions in the water.
• NEW WIDER FLAT DECK - The new EVA tray provides a wide, flat standing area for greater stability and comfort in choppy waters. The wide deck allows a forgiving stance, while the narrow hull below ensures maximum speed and efficient glide, offering both stability and performance.
• NARROW TAIL - The narrower tails are easier to sink and the more rounded noses touch down less frequently.
• RAIL EDGE RELEASE & NEW EVA PLUG - The 3D Rail Edge enhances planing before takeoff, while the EVA Plug seals the foil mount for smoother water flow. Together, they reduce drag and boost acceleration for faster, more efficient takeoffs on your inflatable foilboard.
• NEW ROCKER - The rocker on the nose and the tail of the boards has been increased to enable even easier take offs and more forgiving touchdowns.
• ADJUSTABLE FOOTSTRAPS INCLUDED - With an 18cm distance between the inserts, you can have a wider foot strap span for better trim and control while foiling since you can micro-adjust your feet position.
  • 4 different positions for the footstraps in the front and 5 different positions for the straps in the back are available.
• LEASH, PUMP AND BAG - Included with the board: a coil leash, Tiki Pump with dual nozzles for both board and wing, and a travel-friendly wheelie bag that fits a complete wing foil set.
• WELDED RAIL TECHNOLOGY - The Welded Rail Technology creates a completely airtight, mechanically bonded seam without the risk of glue weakening over time. This makes Starboard inflatable boards stronger and longer lasting.
  • All inflatable foil boards feature welded rails, both along the board and at the foil opening.
