Extreme Slalom
Designed for maximum speed, the SLX wings are the second Starboard Foils wing collection to use Martin Fischer, Charles Dhainaut and Mathieu Durand's ground-breaking automated optimisation method.
Extremely radical in shape, the parameters entered into the auto-optimising computer couldn't be simpler: maximum speed.
These ultra-high aspect wings with relatively thick sections, smooth organic curves, significant twist and extremely thin tips are what came out. Ready to Race.
SLX wings are available exclusively as upgrade components. They are suitable for both maximum-performance windsurf foiling and wing foiling.
AUTO-OPTIMISED 7000X
Innovative and ground-breaking, the auto-optimisation 7000x process was developed by Martin Fischer, Charles Dhainaut and Mathieu Durand.
Starting from a base design, we enter our desired performance parameters and the structural limits. The computer then first calculates an optimum shape, before feeding this new design back to itself to recalculate an even more optimised shape.
Repeated thousands of times over, this looping optimisation process is made possible thanks to a novel approach to the equations that govern fluid dynamics. Eventually, the process converges towards a hyper-optimal design, something that would have previously taken the most powerful supercomputer weeks or months to calculate (and taken a human decades).
The result: wing designs that offer incredible flight characteristics virtually at the limit of the laws of physics.
