Starboard Take Off 2024 85L Blue Carbon

Description

TAKE OFF

HIGH PERFORMANCE FREESTYLE/ WAVE FOIL BOARDS

For wing foil/ SUP foil/ Prone foil. Performance freestyle. Longer and narrower = faster take off. Optimal control and balanced flight. 

The Take Off has seen great success and enthusiasm, particularly from our riders in wing freestyle competitions, with Dream Team riders using our latest and smallest Take Off models in a range of events.

The 2024 Take Off has been completely redesigned to be a more performance-oriented freestyle wing foil model. A new size range with slightly longer but narrower sizes has allowed us to achieve faster Take Offs and more even flying when at speed. The streamline shape includes a thin nose for faster and more balanced flying, and the cutaway tail creates a narrow pin at the tip for reduced drag in the air and water. The bottom shape features sharp rails with a flat midsection for predictability and recovery in touchdowns from any angle.

The new Take Off range suits intermediate to advanced riders, with sizes from 5’3″ x 25.5″ and above catering for a range of foiling with wing and SUP foiling, and sizes from 5’0″ x 24.5″ down to 4’0″ x 18.5″ perfect for high-performance wing and foil surfing. The larger 7’0″ x 31″ and 6’3″ x 28″ are designed for heavier riders wanting to take their winging or SUP Foiling to new heights.

KEY FEATURES –

> All new shape/ size range – The longer and narrower design gives the Take Off faster liftoff and better aerodynamics for a smoother flight. Featuring a pulled in nose and tail outline with reduced profile thickness.

> New narrower thinner nose – Performance-focused, more manoeuvrable in turns, and faster when flying

> New curved rocker – The rocker is fine tuned for stable flight while being very forgiving when touching down. The rocker is optimized for the best control over the foil without needing to shim your foil.

> New recessed standing area – For the best possible connection, the standing area recess gives a direct connection to the foil. Smaller models are dug out even further for the best possible control.

> Flat bottom – The smooth release with sharp rail edges and the flat bottom give instant takeoff and are more predictable when touching down.

> Cutaway tail – The cutaway forms a pin tail for better release in takeoff and less resistance when touching down.

> New brushed deck pad – The new brushed deck pad is less abrasive on the knees while offering comfort and grip. The Take Off also features a kick pad for wave surfing.

> V footstrap set – Designed for the best comfort and performance in wingboarding, utilising the best Yulex neoprene construction in the industry to deliver a soft and secure footstrap. With a 60 degree angle, the new footstrap is designed to perfectly mould to the shape of your foot when inserted in our range of foil boards. Multiple footstrap screw holes are built into the reinforced yulex, giving riders the adjustability to angle the footstrap in their preferred riding position and angle.

5’3″ x 25.5″ / 85L – “One of the best all round sizes, in my opinion.” The 5’3″ offers enough volume for an intermediate, lighter rider (under 80 kg) to use as a high-performance SUP foil model.

As well as making an excellent intermediate wing rider model, suiting riders up to 105kg who want to take their wing foiling to the next level. The 5’3″ has been tested by a variety of riders and will be enjoyed by a variety of riders for various conditions and foil activities.

What is the construction?

BLUE CARBON
THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED

• Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.

• 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.

• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.

• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
