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 FALCON_FIN SLS is in a class of its own!

One of the most frequently asked question from freerace customers about the 2026 range is why we have discontinued the JAG SLS.

Well, on the one hand side the brand-new BLITZ offers even more performance compared to its predecessor, the BLAST. But even more important the new generation of FALCON_FIN boards are that much easier to sail. In fact, they don’t require a higher sailing level than the JAG.

We have achieved this primarily through a sophisticated new rail shape design. The apex of the rail in front of the front straps has been moved up. This has a tremendous effect on the riding comfort, as everything just becomes a lot smoother. 

Secondly, we have reduced the overall length, which reduces the nose lift and thus increases control again.

Yet due to the golden rule “control = speed“ these boards are even faster now, which is particularly noticeable when compared to the JAG.

Last but not least the SLS technology comes into play. The majority of the carbon layers in the D/LAB version are replaced by our exclusive S-GLASS+, which makes the FALCON_FIN SLS a lot smoother and even more forgiving in rough conditions. So unlike you’re a top level competitor in the end this slightly more forgiving construction will make you a faster sailor.

But that’s not all - HERE IS WHAT’S NEW

FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY

Switching from the industry-standard semi custom technology to our exclusive FULLY CUSTOM TECHNOLOGY enabled us to reduce the weights by up to 250 grams. With this these boards offer the best weight vs. durability ratio in their class.

AI_BOARD_3D

The curves of the key elements rocker, outline and rail get synchronized to perfection using artificial intelligence to avoid that the curves work against each other which lifts the performance to a whole new level.

Higher rails

Make it very easy to maintain the perfect trim.

Completely redesigned tail

Provides more release and keeps the board accelerating.

Shorter in every size

Less nose lift and incredible control.

Bigger medium board

The 118 medium board got bigger improving power and acceleration

Less radical RECESSED MAST TRACK AREA than the D/LAB version

Makes it more comfortable to stand when starting planing, or floating around. 

MULTI FOOTSTRAP PLUGS

Optional inboard footstrap position for a more relaxed riding style, more control and easier entry and exit.

No panic by the FALCON name

These boards are fast AND still very easy to ride.

FALCON_FIN SLS - we are very convinced that the combination of the most competitive shapes and our FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY can take on every (free)race board out there - at your local spot or even national competitions.

Comparison Blitz vs. Falcon_Fin SLS vs. Falcon_Fin D/LAB

BLITZ VS. FALCON_FIN SLS

  • The BLITZ features a more parallel outline >> requires less physical (leg) fitness and technique to get fast plus earlier passive planning.

  • The BLITZ features thinner rails >> more effortless jibing.

  • The FALCON_FIN SLS is not difficult to ride at all but requires more physical (leg) fitness and technique to get into overdrive and letting the board fly over the fin.

FALCON_FIN SLS VS. FALCON_FIN D/LAB

  • The FALCON_FIN SLS is made in our Full Custom SLS technology >> feels a bit less direct but more forgiving in rough conditions.

  • The FALCON_FIN SLS features a less radical recessed mast track area >> more comfortable to stand when starting planning or floating around.

  • The FALCON_FIN SLS features slightly more inboard strap plugs >> little more comfortable stance.

  • The FALCON_FIN D/LAB is a 1to1 replica to what our World Cup riders are using >> unbeatable performance for serious competition sailors.

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. 

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.

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.

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

RANGE SPECIFIC ASPECT RATIO (length vs. width) 

> The smaller the board the higher the aspect ratio >> maximum control plus reduced wetted surface for v-max

> The bigger the board the lower the aspect ratio >> maximum acceleration already at lower speeds

Rail Shape

> The apex of the rail in front of the front straps has been moved up. This has a tremendous effect on the control, as everything just becomes a lot smoother. Makes it very easy to maintain the perfect trim.

> Harder rails underneath the feet allow maximum push onto the fin to let the board fly.

Duotone Pro Pads incl. wedge

All sizes feature an additional pad wedge between the rear straps raising the toe area allowing to push harder and making the board fly.

The heat pressed diamond grooving pattern protects the EVA against abrasion and provides an extraordinary grip level.

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

> FLYING V-SHAPE: increased V in front of the mast track and towards the tail makes the board ride high and loose plus improves control and allows varying jibing radius to attack at the buoy.

> The 2 STEP CUT-OUTS reduce the wetted surface. This allows a wider tail outline and due to the further outboard rear strap position the rider can load more power onto the fin for more control and speed.

Rocker Line

Rocker lines developed over decades deliver top speeds in all conditions and ensure maximum control
