2026 Falcon_Fin SLS

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. 

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.

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.

> 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”.

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

> 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.

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.

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

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