Starboard Source Wing 2026
The Starboard Source Wing 2026 is a wing designed to make wing foiling easier, more intuitive, and progressive. Its compact shape, powerful profile, and robust construction make it an ideal choice for beginner and progressing riders, schools, and centers looking for a user-friendly product built to last.
Product Overview
The Source was created with the goal of offering easy take-offs, smooth power delivery, and immediate control. The concept focuses on a compact outline, forgiving handling, and high-tenacity construction to facilitate learning, progression, and frequent use.
Who is it for?
This wing is designed for those who want to start with an easy and reassuring wing, but also for progressing riders who desire intuitive and less physically demanding navigation. It is also very suitable for schools and rental centers due to its durable construction and complete equipment.
Main Features
Compact and easy-to-handle shape
The Source adopts a compact setup that helps improve overall control and reduces the risk of tip touching the water. This makes the wing particularly suitable for the early stages of learning and low-speed maneuvers.
Smooth and progressive power
The profile is designed to offer full but manageable thrust, useful for facilitating take-offs and assisting the rider in getting on foil. The feeling is that of an intuitive wing, with smooth delivery and predictable behavior.
Increased stability while riding
The wing's geometry is designed to provide balance, comfort, and control over a wide range of use. This helps the rider maintain a cleaner and less demanding ride, especially during technical progression.
Excellent solution for intensive use
The construction is designed to withstand frequent sessions and continuous use. This makes the Source an interesting choice not only for individuals but also for businesses that require reliability and durability over time.
Construction
High Tenacity Construction
The Source uses a high-tenacity construction developed to offer structural stability, solidity, and long-term durability. The selected materials aim to maintain good performance even with intensive and repeated use.
Code-Tec 85 canopy
The canopy uses Code-Tec 85 fabric, weighing 85 GSM, designed to offer an effective balance between responsiveness, stability, and longevity. This solution helps keep the profile stable and ensures consistent performance over time.
HTD160 for leading edge and strut
The leading edge and strut use HTD160 material, weighing 160 GSM, chosen to ensure rigidity, reliability, and structural support. The construction is designed to maintain stable pressure and a solid structure during use.
Reinforcements and finishes
The wing integrates dedicated reinforcements in the most stressed areas, reinforced stitching, and details designed to increase overall resistance. This approach helps improve product durability in a real-world use context.
Difference between sizes
Large sizes 5.0 and 6.0 m²
The 5.0 and 6.0 m² sizes adopt an ultra-low aspect setup with about half a meter less wingspan, to limit tip contact with the water in larger wings. This choice improves ease of use and makes the larger sizes more manageable.
Small sizes 2.5 and 3.5 m²
The 2.5 and 3.5 m² sizes, however, adopt a higher aspect ratio with about half a meter more wingspan, as smaller wings are less prone to tip contact with the water. This allows for optimizing the behavior of smaller sizes in stronger wind conditions.
