Starboard release the new learner-friendly SOURCE wing

Starboard just created the go-to wing if you're starting out. Find out why…

Starboard is excited to unveil the all-new SOURCE Wing — your key to wingfoil progression and the 3rd to drop from the iconic new Starboard wing lineup. Designed to make learning easy and progression natural, the Source is now available globally on our website and via your local Starboard shop.

“First time I got on the wing, I knew I was going to love it. The stability of the wing and the control gave me the ability to sail effortlessly. The wing feels compact and very user friendly, perfect for people to improve their skills and have fun! I am excited for everybody who gets to use the new Source!” — Fiona Wylde

Built to help riders get up, go and grow, the Source combines ultra-compact handling with smooth, intuitive power and durable construction at an accessible price. It’s the perfect wing for first-time riders, schools, clubs, and anyone looking for a confidence boost session after session.

The Source comes in a simple four-size, club-ready range — 2.5, 3.5, 5 and 6 m² — each offering an impressive wind range to keep your first quiver minimal and fuss-free.

Like all Starboard Wings, the Source ships standard with our hands-free waist leash as well as the option of either a Prepreg UD Carbon or Aluminium Pistol Grip Boom to match your price and performance requirements.

The Source is engineered specifically to make wingfoiling and wingsurfing easier to learn and more fun to progress on. With its ultra-low aspect ratio, deep profile, and increased dihedral, it delivers smooth sheet-and-go power with unbelievably forgiving handling.

Key Features at a Glance

› Club-ready
The combination of an ultra-compact, ultra-forgiving design makes this wing club-ready — easy to learn on, confidence-inspiring from the first sessions, and durable enough for schools, centres, clubs and long-term use.

› Ultra-compact Shape
An ultra-low aspect ratio design packs maximum low-end power into the shortest possible wingspan, making takeoffs easier, handling more manageable, and keeping wingtips clear of the water for faster progression.

› High Tenacity Construction
HTD160 High Tenacity Dacron on the leading edge combined with Code-Tec 85 canopy cloth delivers long-lasting durability, low stretch rigidity, and reliable performance built to withstand heavy use.

› Forgiving & Stable Handling
A deep profile paired with a generous strut generates smooth sheet-and-go power, while the compact outline keeps the wing stable, predictable, and exceptionally easy to control in all conditions.

› Steep Dihedral
A steeper dihedral enhances stability and maneuverability simultaneously — helping prevent wingtip contact while delivering smooth control and confidence for progressing riders.

› Tucked Wingtips
Inward-tucked wingtips further reduce water contact, make the wing more forgiving during touch-downs, and allow riders to focus on balance and foil control with zero interruption.

› Deep Profile & Long Chord
Powerful low-end drive combined with extended chord length creates a grunty, efficient wing that helps riders get up on foil earlier and ride more comfortably with a compact wingspan due to added power in the centre.

› Refined Details & Accessories
Large PU windows, a full bright red canopy, heat-reflective cool grey leading edge, our interchangeable Pistol Grip Boom (choice of carbon or aluminium depending on your price and performance requirements), and a hands-free waist leash come together for maximum visibility, PSI stability in the sun, and a safe, user-friendly wing built for progression environments.
