Take your riding to the next level! Built in FULL CUSTOM SLS Technology, designed with our own AI_BOARD_3D software, which enables us to integrate unprecedented complex shaping tasks. The BLITZ SLS is in a class of its own!

With the EAGLE and the brand-new BLITZ we offer 2 boards for the freeride >< freerace segment covering everything from learning to plain up to being the fastest sailor at your spot. Switching to our unique FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY we were able to reduce the weights by up to 250 grams. With this these boards offer the best weight vs. durability ratio in their class.

EAGLE or BLITZ - which one is the right freeride><freerace board for you?

Where you come from >< Where it will take you

1) 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 

2) BLITZ: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT

  • Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLITZ is your performance machine. 
  • Where it will take you: the BLITZ 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 BLITZ, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board.


When designing the BLITZ, the key concept was to make a board with maximum performance, yet minimal effort that maintains control over the widest possible wind range. But how could we achieve a board that works in such a wide range of conditions, with such a broad range of user levels?

Firstly, the BLITZ follows the same VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT like the EAGLE. This means you can easily choose a 10 liter bigger board compared to other brands without losing any control in overpowered conditions. By gaining some more liters, the board feels more stable underfoot in non-planing conditions, and also gets planing sooner than boards with less liters without compromising the high-end performance and control. 

Additionally the BLITZ can be gybed aggressively in experienced hands but also feels easy and smooth for intermediate riders due to the wide tail. This allows you a steady progression through all levels of the jibing process, without ever “out-growing” the board. 

And finally, we have incorporated several features from our World Cup Slalom boards:

  • The racier/boxier rails and a further outboard strap position allow the rider to push harder to let the board fly over the fin for increased top speed.
  • The 2 STEP CUTOUTS further reduce the drag when going full speed to give you the edge over your friends.
  • The RECESSED MAST TRACK AERA lowers the rig connection, boosting control and aerodynamics by “closing the gap”.

Maximum control and predictable behavior over a maximum wind-range also make the BLITZ the ideal companion for long distance blasts in total control.

The insane broad range of use can be extended even further by exchanging the fin which has a noticeable effect on the characteristics of the board:

  • The F_RIDE fin that comes with the board makes the BLITZ very comfortable to ride and more forgiving to jibe.
  • As an aftermarket fin the BLITZ can be partnered with our RACE D/LAB fin developed by Dani Aeberli and tested by Jordy Vonk. With this fin the BLITZ becomes a freerace machine that is hard to beat. 


With this wide range of features, the BLITZ provides endless hours of performance freeride >< freerace fun and will accompany you on your windsurfing journey to become a faster sailor.

Comparison Technology Levels

FULL CUSTOM D/LAB
(used on all D/LAB boards)

- For these boards we use our most high-tech raw materials (Carbon, Innegra/Kevlar) resulting in the lowest possible weights, crispest ride sensation and maximum dent-resistance.

FULL CUSTOM SLS
(used on all 2026 SLS boards)

- The SLS construction uses a lower Carbon content and the Innegra is replaced by our exclusive S_GLASS+. This results in a more attractive price level.
- These boards are approx. 300g heavier than the D/LAB boards.
- Due to the FULL CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION the SLS boards are stronger and lighter than comparable boards made in the usual semi custom construction.

CUSTOM CNC
(used on BLITZ, EAGLE)

- Our most price attractive boards made in CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION. These boards feature wood reinforcements that effectively dampen peak loads.

FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY

The FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY is a full custom technology which is one hundred percent identical to high-end custom made boards.

Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight. 

Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Instead of combining working steps to save time and money every single step follows its individual process. So for example instead of joining the PVC sandwich with the EPS core in a single shot we vacuum-bag the top and bottom PVC shields with the EPS core separately. 

For all SLS boards we use our most sophisticated layup which consists of more than 50 individual parts and components.

The major difference compared to the FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY is the S-glass on the PVC sandwich for the SLS boards (like most wave boards on the market), while the D/LAB boards are equipped with a carbon-Innegra layer on the outside. Innegra is the best composite fibre to prevent dents. Dents caused by the mast touching the board (during catapults or when getting washed) are mainly an aesthetic issue. But if you want a board that stays dent-free, you should opt for the D/LAB version.

Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction.

Yet all of this is achieved without any sacrifice in durability since we always follow our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.

Deck Shape

Flatter deck shape for comfortable stance and maximum control during jibes. 

Recessed mast track area lowering the rig connection, boosting control and aerodynamics by “closing the gap”.

Outline

Slightly more parallel outline avoids the board from bouncing around in choppy conditions and requires less physical (leg) fitness to get the board flying over the fin for v-max. This also allows to increase the volume which results in a much more confident, predictable and relaxed riding position.

Rail Shape

Boxier medium-radius rails in the center to ensure maximum acceleration and planing power. Thinner rails towards the tail to help jibing or jibe even more aggressively in experienced hands.

Duotone Pro Pads

8-10mm thick duo density EVA (depending on the board type) provides best dampening comfort and control. The higher-density outer layer features our signature heat pressed diamond groove pattern that protects the EVA against abrasion and provides maximum grip level and connection to the board. We only select EVA colours which don't look dirty after use and will also resist fading after hours in the sun.

Duotone Premium Strap 2.0 incl. multi-plugs

High quality closed cell neoprene for maximum longevity. Only black Lycra coating guarantees maximum comfort as well as maximum durability. The strap features measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up and replicate your individual size.

DUO RIDING STYLE PLUGS:

  • Inboard position for improved manoeuvrability and a more relaxed riding style
  • Outboard position for a more performance oriented riding style


Bottom Shape

Most sophisticated bottom shape: double concave in front to double concave Vee in the middle into Vee towards the tail to work in conjunction with the parallel outline. Ideal compromise between performance, manoeuvrability and control.

The 2-STEP CUT-OUTS reduce the wetted surface: improved top speed, acceleration and a smooth ride even in very choppy conditions.

AI_Board_3D

In contrast to the industry-standard Shape3d program, our own exclusive 3D CAD software is based on math data-driven input. 

This allows us to cross-check the outcome using artificial intelligence to ensure maximum precision.

Apart from being much more accurate and faster, complex 3D design tasks such as our ground-breaking SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT would otherwise have been simply impossible to realize. 

SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT

Outline, rocker and rail shape are the 3 key elements that determine how a board feels and performs. In every rocker- and outline there are spots with more or less curvature. The same applies to the degree of rail curvature which changes considerably. To prevent the 3 curves from working "against" each other, the highest priority is to synchronize these curves. Means that in zones with an increased rocker curve, the outline curve is also increased plus the rails have an increased curvature and vice versa.

To our knowledge this complex 3d task can only be performed by our own AI_BOARD_3D software. Testing this concept on existing boards the improvements to each board were so overwhelming that we incorporated this design feature into all 2026 boards.

Rocker Line

Rocker lines developed over decades deliver top speeds in all conditions and ensure maximum control. Slightly flatter rocker line than pure (Free)race boards for improved low end power.

FINALLY LET'S TALK FINS

THE MATCHING FIN DESIGN HAS A SIMILAR IMPORTANCE TO THE BOARD PERFORMANCE AS THE RIGHT MAST FOR THE SAIL.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SPENT A TREMENDOUS TIME AND EFFORT INTO SETTING UP A TRULY UNIQUE FIN RANGE.


360° R&D
We don't just buy external stock fins. Instead one and the same team is now responsible for the board and fin development. This results in a perfectly matching unit lifting the board-fin performance to the next level.


FIN SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGIES
Instead of using one technology for all our fins we are using 3 different technologies according to the fin length and range of use:

- PREPREG FOR ALL LONGER FINS >> lighter than G10 and with adjustable flex due to the moulding process. 50% stronger than the usual RTM technology.

- G10 FOR ALL WAVE CENTER FINS >> indestructible

- INJECTION MOULDED CARBO_TECH FOR SHORT SIDE FINS >> guarantees the necessary tip-flex even on short fins.

FINALLY LET'S TALK FINS


THE 2 MOST INFLUENTIAL FIN DESIGNERS
With Dani Aeberli and Kai Hopf, the two Windsurfing fin designers with the most experience are responsible for our new fin range.


EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTION
Setting up our own exclusive production was inevitable to take our fin performance to the next level. Every process is supervised on site by our own QC specialist Vasin Siritho to guarantee the highest level in quality and consistency.


FOR ALL THESE REASONS, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ONLY USE THE FINS SUPPLIED WITH THE BOARD.
THIS IS THE WAY - TO UNLEASH THE BOARD'S FULL POTENTIAL!

Quote Daniel Aeberli - Product Manager Boards

»THE BLITZ SURPRISES ME EACH AND EVERY TIME: WHEN YOU ARE CAPABLE OF SAILING IN THE STRAPS AND BEING FAST IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY THE BLITZ MIGHT BE THE LAST BOARD YOU'LL NEED. BECAUSE THE RANGE OF USE IS JUST INSANE: THE BLITZ IS EXTREMELY CONTROLLABLE WHICH IMMEDIATELY MAKES YOU A FASTER SAILOR. ALSO, JIBING IS SUPER EFFORTLESS, WHICH HELPS BOTH JIBE BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED RACE JIBERS TO INCREASE THEIR SUCCESS RATE. AND FINALLY PARTNERED WITH A HIGH PERFORMANCE FIN THERE IS NEARLY NO LIMIT TO THE SPEED POTENTIAL OF THE BLITZ.«

Quote Jordy Vonk (IFCA FIN WORLD CHAMPION 2022)

»TESTING THE FINAL PROTOTYPES OF THE BLITZ D/LAB 165 AND 185 WAS A MIXTURE OF THE EXPECTED AND THE UNEXPECTED. AS EXPECTED THE BLITZ D/LAB HAS AN UNBELIEVABLE LOW END PLANING ABILITY. IN FACT, I HAVE NEVER SAILED A WINDSURF BOARD WHICH GETS PLANING SO EARLY. BUT WHAT REALLY SURPRISED ME THE MOST IS THE HIGH END CONTROL WHEN IT GETS WINDIER. EVEN IN OVER 25 KNOTS THE BLITZ D/LAB SHOWS NO TENDENCY OF GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. SO ALL IN ALL, THE BLITZ D/LAB HAS A TRULY INSANE WIND RANGE.«
