The Wait is Over – The Starboard VIVA Wing is Now Live!

After over 4 months of anticipation from foiling communities around the world and with early samples already racking up those 5-star reviews...Starboard is proud to finally announce the release of the all-new VIVA Wing, the first to drop from Starboard's new Wing range and now available globally at Starboard stores!

The Viva is designed to deliver an effortless, all-round wing foiling experience — combining smooth, intuitive power with light handling, excellent balance, and a forward-driving sensation. Available in our accessible, yet performance-oriented Gradient Load Construction and in a large size range spanning from 2.5m² to 7m² LW, the Viva is already turning heads across the globe with its 5-star reviews.

Global Excitement Builds Ahead of Launch

Ahead of the release, Starboard invited riders to register for early access and the response was overwhelming…

Wingfoil enthusiasts from over 14 different countries signed up to be the first to hear about the Viva, with the 5 and 6m² in the blue colourway emerging as the most requested models along with our new ultra-slim and lightweight Prepreg UD Carbon as the favourite pistol grip boom.

“Super stoked to finally see the Viva available in shops! I had so much fun the last few months riding it, bringing it wherever I go, in every condition, and I’m super excited to get to see other riders having a blast with it now.- Benoit Carpentier, Starboard Dream Team Rider”

Key Features at a Glance

Anywhere, Anyway, Anyone
A true all-round wing designed to perform across freeride, waves, jumps, and downwind — intuitive enough for first riders, yet refined enough for the world stage.
Balanced Medium Aspect Shape
A straight central leading edge and fuller wingtips deliver efficient power, lift, and acceleration, while the rounder outline and straighter trailing edge ensure smooth glide, agility, and a wide wind range.
Gradient Load Canopy
Strategically mapped materials — Aeroflex 55 up front, Code-Tec 85 through the centre, and Ultra-X at the trailing edge — optimise weight, durability, and load distribution for efficient power transfer and a smooth, forward-driving feel.
Light & Agile Handling
A slim strut, narrow Ultra-X wingtips, and lighter, stiffer canopy materials reduce swing weight and drag, making the VIVA exceptionally responsive, playful, and easy to maneuver.
Medium Dihedral
The perfect balance between stability and maneuverability — delivering smooth control, predictable power, and excellent flagged-out performance.
Upward-Swept Wingtips
Enhance stability, neutrality, and glide while keeping the wing forgiving and easy to manage whether fully powered or flagged out.
Deep Profile, Medium Chord
Strong low-end power paired with balanced chord length creates a wing that feels lively and direct, yet stable and controlled across a wide wind range.
Refined Details & Accessories
Flutter-free performance, smart visibility windows, heat-stable cool grey leading edge, ergonomic low-mounted flag handle and dual push-turn valves come together for a quiet, controlled and easy-to-use wing. The VIVA is compatible with our interchangeable Pistol Grip Boom (carbon or aluminium) and comes standard with a waist leash and our recycled vented wing bag for effortless transport and setup.
