Starboard X-15 Wing & Foil Training and Review by Zane Schweitzer

Starboard’s new Foil Slalom board, the X-15, flies fast and high. For 2023, 3 totally new Foil Slalom shapes with an extreme focus on aerodynamic improvement and specific optimization for high-speed use with small low-drag foil wings. The revised nose rocker is way lower to reduce aero lift and drag at high speed, whilst a significant increase in forward vee avoids catapults during touchdown. Further aerodynamic features include a soft convex deck and very smooth exit at tail to reduce high-speed drag as much as possible. The X-15 feels extremely slippery in the wind and always wants to accelerate.

In this video, Zane tests out the board, foil and wing to dial in his training for the upcoming race season.
