HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT FREERIDE BOARD FOR YOU!

BREAKING IT DOWN

At either end of the spectrum, the choices are simple, but separating out the middle is where it gets more confusing.

EAGLE ONE

At the one end, the EAGLE ONE – a new board for 2024, designed to get more people on the water without the hassle of needing to constantly change their board as their level improves. Specifically designed for people getting into the sport to make their journey to planing as simple as possible, but equally as fun for mastering the technique and also on the lighter wind days.

FALCON_FIN D/LAB

At the other end of the scale, you have the FALCON_FIN D/LAB – an undeniable racing machine, with custom CNC construction. This board is for the racers and those wanting peak performance with no sacrifices. If you are toying between the FALCON_FIN D/LAB or the JAG SLS, ask yourself this question… Do I want to be the fastest on the spot, chasing speed records and entering competitions, or do I want to be almost as fast, but also comfortable and able to enjoy my sessions for hours on end without getting tired? If you are in category one, you want a FALCON_FIN D/LAB, but if category 2 resonates better, consider the JAG SLS for an unbeatable speed to comfort ratio for endless blasting and racing your friends.

JAG SLS

Stepping down from the FALCON_FIN D/LAB, you have the JAG SLS. The JAG SLS is essentially a slalom board you can live with! It is designed to blast over long distances in total control and will excel with any style of sail. It blends the user-friendliness of the BLAST with the top-notch race performance of the FALCON_FIN to give you control, power and performance. In short: The JAG SLS is faster and more racey than the BLAST, but not as demanding to ride as the FALCON_FIN D/LAB.

EAGLE: IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANING

 Where you come from: you had your first Windsurfing experience and are capable of staying upwind. There is no other board which will help you to experience the gliding/planing sensation in such a short time than the EAGLE.

Where it will take you: besides getting planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it’s not just made for learning to (power)jibe but will even accompany you up to freerace blasting and laydown jibing

BLAST: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT

 Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLAST is your performance machine.

Where it will take you: the BLAST will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it’s also very easy to jibe it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro level laydown race jibes. Partnered with a high performance fin and a freerace sail you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLAST, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board.
