Starboard Take Off – The All-Round Foil Board for Every Rider
Wing. Surf. Downwind. One board that does it all.
The Starboard Take Off is the go-to foil board for riders of every level — from first-time foilers to advanced pros. Designed for wing, surf, and downwind foiling, it delivers an easy, stable, and high-performance ride in a compact, responsive shape.
This latest edition introduces the 4’6” and 4’2” high-performance models, giving riders more control, more agility, and smaller board sizes than ever before.
