From shaping windsurf boards by hand to designing some of the most advanced hydrofoils on the market, Tiesda You has spent decades pushing the boundaries of board sports. We sit down with the head of Starboard Foils to explore the evolution of foil design, the role of modern engineering and where the sport is heading next.

UCS - Universal Connection System

How exactly does the mast connect to the fuse?

Two pairs of bolts placed side by side creates a mast-fuselage connection that is simple, strong and incredibly stiff - distributing load evenly both front to back and side to side, just like how your mast connects to your board using a track plate to keep lateral stability.

The generous flat surface area spreads out the load, while a subtle mating V-shape keeps parts aligned under pressure.

No more worrying about your mast getting stuck or corroding onto your fuse. No smashing your mast to get the fuse off. Just pop it on, screw it in, and forget about it with full peace of mind that when you want to remove it, you can.

UCS – Universal Connection System

Modular, designed to work across all riding styles and delivering exceptional stiffness, strength and a super direct, connected feel on the water.

A unique sleeve-and-saddle interface creates an incredibly rigid, streamlined connection, while hidden internal angle adjusters and fuselage collars let you fine-tune your setup by changing the angle of attack or extending fuselage length - all without compromising hydrodynamics.

Completely open and available to download on our website. With more brands joining the Universal Connect System, UCS makes everything easy. Look for the ‘Works With UCS’ logo and feel confident the part will fit.

UCS – Universal Connection System

UCS is built around a simple idea: the best foil connection should work for everyone, without compromise.

The unique saddle-saddle system delivers exceptional lateral stiffness and strength for a direct, connected feel, while remaining fully hydrodynamic. Hidden internal shims and spacers let you fine-tune wing angles and fuselage length, with every adjustment sealed inside the system to maintain clean water flow.

From riders who want to fine-tune every detail to those who simply want parts that fit together and just work straight out the box, UCS delivers both.

A single reversible fuselage connection accommodates front wings from 300 cm² to 2000 cm², fitting every style of front and tail wing with one unified system. Strong and light for freestyle, streamlined and exceptionally stiff for racing, while offering the geometry and compatibility to perform across every foiling style - from wing to surf, to windsurf.

UCS is open because we believe this is the future of foil connections - just as mast tracks became the universal standard of board to mast. You can even download the 3D file directly from our website.

All-new FUSION

“Ride. Carve. Repeat.”

The new Fusion is our new medium-aspect foil, designed for maximum manueverability, control and ease of use whether you are shredding in the waves, stomping big flips, or dialing in your first flights.

Super responsive and playful in the smaller sizes. Forgiving and easy to control in the larger sizes.

→ New cambered profile boosts low-speed lift and stall resistance for effortless take-offs.
→ Thinner leading edge increases top speed, flying precision and stability through manoeuvres.
→ Refined aspect ratios improve glide, acceleration and overall efficiency.
→ Tip twist design reduces drag and allows smoother wingtip breaches.
→ Wider wing tips enhance slides and spray for advanced riders.

625 / 725 / 825 / 925 (~8 AR | Performance – signature shape - Fast, responsive and highly manoeuvrable for waves, freestyle and advanced wing foiling.)

1100 / 1400 (~7 AR | Crossover – The perfect balance of glide, lift and stability for versatile all-round riding.)

1800 / 2200 (~5 AR | Progression – Lower aspect for earlier lift, greater stability and forgiving control, making learning to foil easier and more confidence-inspiring.)

Ride. Carve. Repeat.
