ACE FOIL LIGHTNING
LIGHTNING-FAST ⚡️
NARROW SIZES
From 15″ to 19″, the Ace Lightning models are designed for maximum efficiency and speed. The longer lengths provide float and allow for fast paddling into bumps and onto the foil, while the narrow width limits drag during touchdowns and flight.
NEW PIN TAIL
Tracking and efficiency are two key aspects of the pintail design. The pin tail offers great tracking for catching bumps, while the pin tail also brings the water back together, allowing a more efficient takeoff and touchdown with less board touching the water.
FLAT DECK
The deck is kept flat to utilize the full width, offering more space and comfort from these narrow outlines.
NEW ROUND RAILS
The rounded rails were originally designed to be easy to use in choppy ocean conditions. This same concept has been brought to the Ace Foil model, which not only creates ease in the chop but also allows the board to have an amazing spring when pumping to get on the foil.
NEW ROCKER
The rocker is fine-tuned for speed, spring, and larger bumps. The rockerline has been tested in a range of conditions, from flatwater to large ocean swell.
BRUSHED DECK PAD
The new brushed deck pad is less abrasive on the knees while offering comfort and grip. The Ace Foil Lightning also features a kickpad for improved control and a reference point when stepping back.
NEW 16” FOIL BOX
With many iterations of downwind foils hitting the market, the 16″ foil box caters to any foil preference. This downwind model features a “further forward” box for fine-tuned and comfortable downwind foiling.
BOARD SOCK
Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.
BLUE CARBON FOILBOARD TECHNOLOGY
LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG AND DURABLE
Experience the lightest, stiffest, and strongest technology to get you flying faster and for longer.
› Get flying faster with a lighter board
Using top-grade 150g Biaxial Carbon, the board is significantly lighter yet incredibly strong and stiff. A custom process creates a double stringer, boosting breakage strength and stiffness.
› Reinforced standing area
High-density PVC in the standing area enhances durability and prevents heel dents.
› Maximum stiffness and rigidity
Lightweight biaxial carbon fiber on the deck and bottom ensures stiffness and rigidity. An arrow-shaped PVC stringer provides extra breakage strength and stiffness over the foil, essential for long, narrow shapes.
