- Technology: CARBON REFLEX SANDWICH THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION
The Carbon Reflex construction is our lightest, proven flagship construction and has some of the lowest warranty rates in the industry. Using the lightest biaxial carbon provides more feel, more responsiveness and more controlled flex than conventional boards. On the water, this construction will provide you with ultimate performance. It delivers the most direct feedback from the foil and allows for quicker and more precise movements. With the Carbon Reflex construction you’ll start foiling earlier. For 2023 the Carbon Reflex is limited in stock, built to order with a custom delivery lead time.

BREAK THE SPEED BARRIER.
X-15: It’s all about speed. Four all-new 2025 Carbon Reflex Foil Slalom shapes, covering minimum to extreme conditions:
The 2025 X-15 evolution sizes 75, 79, 85 & 89 push the boundaries of aerodynamic improvement. Specifically optimized for use with tiny low drag high speed foils, while enhancing early takeoff practicality. Thinner overall profiles reduce aero drag, and minimize side wind interference. Flatter deck profiles reduce roll, while refined rear strap stance improves high wind control, yet retains light wind efficiency. Maximize your speed potential.
Pure performance. Refined. And Redefined.

THE X-15 IN DETAIL
The Starboard original waterdrop cut-away accelerates the water along the tuck line and gets you to take off speed with minimal delay. With the refined tail profile and enhanced underwater profile, getting smaller highspeed foils started is easier. Get up and fly. 2025 models gain even more stability through optimized aerodynamic airflow, with less aero drag than previous models. Taking it further, we package the whole design in lighter-weight Carbon Reflex technology without compromising strength
AERO DESIGN
The side profile of the new design is around 10mm thinner, and the rails are much thinner, which reduces aerodynamic drag, and further minimizes the negative effect of side winds interfering with board trim at high speed on the foil. As a result, the 2025 board is even more slippery and stable through the air than the previous benchmarks.
EARLY BOOST
Increasing the bottom wetted surface length by 15cm over previous boosts early subplaning speed and transition onto the foil. This makes takeoffs with smaller highspeed foil wings significantly more efficient, faster and easier.
ADVANCED CUTAWAYS
Extensive cutaways decrease drag before take-off and accelerate the transition into flight mode by quickly reducing wetted surface area as speed increases.
A flatter profile under the back foot area reduces rolling action, improves control and highspeed confidence, both at speed and mid gybe.
Recessed mast track keeps the centre of drive lower and drastically increases your control. Going into gusts or wind holes, sudden power changes or unexpected board movements become easy to control.
There are fewer impacts to absorb when foiling, so we’ve designed the pads to be extra thin for added control and kept the diamond grooves for the perfect grip.
Bringing the rear strap 3cm inboard delivers more confident control in extreme situations, while at the same time allowing for an outward “on rail” stance alternative for light wind efficiency when required.
JIM DRAKE SLICK FOOTSTRAPS
The Jim Drake Slick foot straps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during manufacturing is reduced by 80%. The remaining 15% of synthetic neoprene is kept to improve UV resistance, carefully sourced with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel..
The unique shape and the four fins generate maximum drive and acceleration, bringing an awesome production of speed, flow and power to your sailing in all wave & wind combinations.
Stable and extremely responsive, the Quads are most rewarding when driven off the rails for powerful yet smooth turns. The four-fin grip gives a very connected sensation to the wave yet they still have the ability to lose the tail when extended through the lip for a rotational move.
For 2015, subtle changes producing significant differences in performances have been introduced on three models in the range.
The Quad 79 and 84 have their Vee brought forward of the fins. This produces more precise rail-to-rail control in the bottom turn allowing for quicker trajectory changes as well as facilitating cutbacks as the board rolls off the Vee to set the forward rail.
More outline curve was added between the footstraps of the Quad 74 for quicker and tighter turns but also allowing the board to project more vertically up the face of the wave. - See more at: http://www.star-board-windsurfing.com/2015/products/boards/quad#overview
