2024 Starboard Aluminium Freeride 2 Evo Mk II

Starboard EVO Freeride 2 windfoiling foil

Foil Category: Windsurf Foiling, Aluminum mast

Starboard Evolution Freeride 2 – targets power, speed and addictive jibing fun.
This next generation foil delivers impressive performance ideal for next level speed, acceleration and jibing excitement. Featuring a new refined front carbon wing that evolved from the SLR race series performance wings – with slightly less aspect ratio to provide better comfort, control and forgiveness vs SLR series.

The new Evolution MKII Jumbo fuselage has a more streamlined tail section and oversized cross section, maximizing stiffness and stabiklity during flight. It also features an integrated mini-fin for enhanced grip and directional control. The Fuselage has been significantly beefed up in thickness for minimal twist and torque under loads. The mast has been refined as well – now stiffer and stronger in the V5HD model. This Freeride 2 set is a foilers dream foil especially for thrill seekers pursuing more speed, maneuverability and performance that’s not as high strung as a race foil.

More details about the improved feature of the mast and fuselage:
Evolution MKII Jumbo Fuselage:
The new fuselage has a more streamlined tail section with an oversized cross section, maximising stiffness and stability during flight. 
- Evolution MkII fuselages keep the same streamlined nose section - so front wings remain compatible.
- The mast fitting also remains the same, offering mast compatibility across all Starboard Foils masts.
- The tail shape is more streamlined and the fuselage is thicker. We gain in speed, control and stability.
- A mini tail fin that adds traction and longitudinal stability. Combined with the thicker cross-section that reduces twist, these new Jumbo fuselages make the foil fly with rock-stability from the moment you take off to final touch-down.

V5HD / V9 Aluminum Mast:
The V9 mast uses the same extrusion die as its predecessor, the V5 mast, and adds a couple of strength upgrades:
- The mast position is shifted backwards slightly to add more metal around the rear barrel nuts.
- These barrel nuts sit deeper than in the V5, adding extra strength.
- A 1.5 degree fuselage is now built in, lifting the nose of the board for an easier, more balanced trim while flying.
