Its standout advantage is reduced swing weight: with less weight to control out front, the board feels a foot shorter through turns and when flying. The low weight also helps riders accelerate, lift onto foil earlier and stay flying with less effort. Refined through years of development, the latest ZERO construction improves stiffness and reliability while remaining exceptionally light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-light full carbon hollow construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced swing weight for easier turns and control in flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster acceleration and earlier lift onto foil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreater efficiency once flying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple PVC stringers connect deck and bottom for a strong, lightweight frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon and PVC hollow sandwich structure for strength-to-weight performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this range, ZERO is offered in the 8'2\" × 18\" \/ 101 L size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon D2\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon D2 is offered across the Ace Foil Lightning sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest advice from us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ace Foil Lightning is Starboard's downwind-focused foilboard: ultra-narrow, long shapes built for fast acceleration and take-off. Starboard's guidance by rider weight is up to 125 kg on the 140 L, 110 kg on the 122 L, 90 kg on the 101 L, 80 kg on the 87 L and 75 kg on the 83 L. The 8'2\" × 18\" \/ 101 L is Starboard's pick for longer downwinders, and the 7'6\" × 17\" \/ 87 L was the favourite of their R\u0026amp;D testers for downwinding and flatwater pumping on smaller foils. If you would like a slightly less specialised pin-tail board, look at the standard Ace Foil.
