You will feel a responsive, balanced pull whether you are carving through lake chop, chasing ocean swell, or riding downwind. Its refined canopy construction provides solid low-end power while keeping swing weight low so you can maneuver with total confidence. You will enjoy stable drift when flagged out and clean power delivery when sheeting in to jump or push upwind.

What Starboard has to say:

Lightweight, playful, and versatile, the all-new Starboard Viva Wing is built for anywhere, anyway, and anyone. From waves to lakes, freestyle to freefly, and boosting big air, the Viva does it all.

Who is this for?

This wing is designed for riders seeking an all-around freeride setup that adapts to waves, lakes, freestyle, downwinders, and jumping across all skill levels.

Design Profile:

A balanced medium aspect profile with a deep profile, medium chord, 12.5° dihedral, and upward-swept wingtips.

Design Features:

• Balanced Medium Aspect - The VIVA’s straight central leading edge and fuller wingtips deliver power, acceleration, and lift, while the rounder outline and straighter trailing edge ensure smooth glide, agility, and a wide wind range.
• Gradient Load Canopy - The canopy sports lightweight Aeroflex 55 up front, Code-Tec 85 in the midsection, and Ultra-X at the trailing edge to place lighter cloth where loads are low and tougher fabric where stress is high for efficient power transfer and reduced distortion.
• Light & Agile - A super slim strut and narrow Ultra-X wingtips combined with lighter, stiffer canopy materials reduce swing weight and drag, making the VIVA feel light and responsive in hand.
• Medium Dihedral - A 12.5° dihedral balances maneuverability with efficient power delivery and stability, excelling when flagged out.
• Upward-Swept Wingtips - Add stability, neutrality, and glide, making the wing forgiving whether you're flagged out or fully powered.
• Deep Profile, Medium Chord - The deeper profile delivers strong low-end power, while the medium chord balances agility and stability across all wind conditions.
• Flutter-Free Flight - Four stiff fibreglass battens on the trailing edge paired with the tensioned rear Ultra-X canopy section ensure a quiet ride regardless of wind strength.
• Minimal Windows - Minimal PU windows placed in the middle Code-Tec 85 section provide downwind and forward views to avoid collisions without compromising canopy strength.
• Cool Grey Leading Edge - Reflects heat to keep internal PSI stable in direct sun, preventing overinflation and extending lifespan.
• Ergo Flag Handle - An ergonomically low-mounted handle with a soft touch grip and stiff webbing base provides direct and comfortable freefly control.
• Dual Push-Turn Valves - Max flow valves with separated strut and leading edge inflation points let you fine-tune pressures for changing conditions.
