2024 Starboard Foils GLIDER 2 FRONT WING SET
Price range: £779.00 through £899.00
GLIDER 2
High-Aspect Ratio Foils for Maximum Efficiency
2000, 1700, 1400: absolutely amazing wings for efficient lightwind wing foiling, pump foiling and riding baby bumps.
1100, 900, 750: smaller sizes add maneuverability, control and speed to that same concept of efficiency foiling.
WING DESIGN
Winning 2nd and 3rd at the GWA Cape Verde Wave event with Benoit Carpentier and Zane Schweitzer on one hand, then achieving 20 minutes of flatwater pumping with Steven VanBroekhoven on the other, the Glider is a favourite with our team for their efficiency and versatility.
For 2024, we wanted to improve the top end speed a touch and add more maneuverability without losing any of the low end power or the sheer efficiency that made the Glider series famous.
To achieve this, the front view went from flat to a very gentle moustache shape.
A gentle moustache front view has a shallow mono-concave in the centre section and gently raising wing tips. The mono-concave boosts take-off power while the gently raising wing tips allow the tips to breach the surface seamlessly without ventilation: you won’t even feel the wing tips have breached the surface, letting you maintain total control.
We’ve also thinned the wing tips to reduce drag generated from tip-vortices and to reduce the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces, enabling that magical seamless tip-breaching effect. Thinner tips also improve maneuverability when the tips travels at higher speeds than the centre section.
The Glider 2 1700 includes the above upgrades plus a much higher aspect ratio, greatly boosting its overall efficiency when compared to the Glider 1 1700 it replaces.
A new Glider 2000 is now also available – an incredible machine that Steven VanBroekhoven used to achieve a pump-foiling time of 20 minutes.
Note: when wing foiling with the Glider 2000 and 1700, because of the massive lift they generate, a 3Ëš mast angle spacer is highly recommended.
WHAT MAKES IT SO STIFF?
The cross section of the front wing male ferrule is 55% thicker compared to the original Quick Lock:Â less twist = more control.
The tail wing section and the mast slot is the same as on the original Quick Lock fuselage, so masts and tail wings are cross-compatible.
The new Lock-Slot on the top adds an an extra mechanical locking point.
The new octagonal shape of the male ferrule, with flat sides and sharp corners, maximizes the interlocking surface areas.

2025 Starboard Foils GLIDER PRO Front Wing
ALL-ROUND HIGH PERFORMANCE
Why 'all-round'? The all-new Glider Pro 2 is described as an all-round wing because it covers many foiling disciplines: it's fast for wing foiling, windsurf foiling and downwinding. It has a curved, sweeping leading edge that gives it control, stability and maneuverability. Its profile section comes from the MF series, making it somewhat a more maneuverable, less extreme version of the MF series.
Why high performance? Because with its high aspect ratio, it remains heavily geared towards performance and speed, recommended for average to advanced riders.

2023 Starboard Glider 1400 and 1700 Carbon with 72cm V8 Alloy mast
The largest GLIDERS are superb for pump foiling, featuring large high-aspect wings for maximum glide and maximum flying efficiency. This package pairs them with the stiff 72cm V8 alloy mast, found to be the optimum length for the pump foil discipline.
Gliders are ideal for lakes, flat water foiling and connecting multiple smaller waves.  The Glider 1700 brings huge lift and is great for pump foiling, ultra light wing wingfoiling. The 1400 works well for light weight riders for pump-foiling and also a sensible largest front wing for intermediate to advanced wing foilers.
The Glider's high aspect ratio and relatively straight leading edge increases flight efficiency for a maximum glide with less drag. The wings are relatively flat for maximum lift and pumping efficiency, with the asymmetrical foil profile section gradually reducing in thickness towards the wing tips for extra speed and glide. The High Aspect Ratio (H.A.R.) RAZR 250 tail wing was specially developed to pair with the high aspect ratio Glider front wings for the ultimate in flat-water flight performance.
