BREAKING THE SPEED BARRIER
An unbroken record: to this day, more than 60 years after its first flight, the hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft Starboard X-15 remains the fastest manned aircraft ever flown. Co-designed by Jim Drake, a technical pioneer who also significantly influenced the development of windsurfing and left a huge mark on Starboard design over the years. Jim's philosophies and knowledge made him a pleasure to work with. Our new Foil Slalom board, the Starboard X-15, flies fast and high. Relentlessly efficient through the air. Ridden by the fastest there are. Just like its namesake.
THE X-15 IN DETAIL
For 2023, 3 all-new Foil Slalom shapes with an extreme focus on aerodynamic improvement and specific optimization for high-speed use with small low-drag foil wings. The revised nose rocker is much lower to reduce aerodynamic lift and drag at high speed, while a significant increase in the front V prevents catapults during landing. Other aerodynamic features include a smooth convex deck and a very smooth tail exit to reduce high-speed drag as much as possible. Starboard X-15 feels extremely fast in the wind and always wants to speed up.
