PWA Fin Racing is back and we have an unbeatable package for you!

Over the last 3 years Dani Aeberli (product manager boards) and Vasin Siritho (implementation + QC manager boards) have worked out a technology being worthy to qualify for the D/LAB label. Instead of the usual semi-custom technology we are now using a 100% full custom technology. We call this FULL CUSTOM CNC TECHNOLOGY (please find all details below under TECH FEATURES).

Even before hitting the water you can already get an idea of what to expect. Simply lift the board and you will be shocked how light it is. Then knock on the hull and you immediately realise how stiff the board is. Compare it with a typical semi-custom production board and the difference is imminent.

The result on the water is truly mind-blowing. Due to the massively reduced weight (up to 500g) and the incredible additional stiffness, even the unchanged shapes feel like a completely new board. The acceleration is on a totally different level than anything we have produced before. It is a true silver bullet compared to anything else on the market.

And best of all our shapes are still beyond doubt. The PWA World Title winning Falcon_Fin boards are designed for total control in every situation you’re facing on a racecourse. Your focus stays 100% on your speed and your line, rather than your equipment. Pierre Mortefon has already demonstrated that in 2019, when he won the PWA Slalom World title with our rocket-ships. 2021 he proved it once again by finishing as PWA Slalom Vice World Champion, and to put the icing on the cake, Jordy Vonk and Jenna Gibson became 2022 IFCA Slalom World Championships in the dedicated, fin-only World Championships.

In 2023 we redeveloped the key sizes 99 & 116 according to our top riders demands for 100% performance on the racecourse. The recessed mast-base area keeps the rig connection low for better control, while the cut-out rail design will ensure 100% power and straightforward jibes on the course.

For 2024 now follows the size 90 which will be a key size in next year’s PWA fin racing. It’s based on the 99 design which everyone just calls the “magic board”.

FALCON_FIN D/LAB - we are very convinced that the combination of the most competitive shapes and our brand- new FULL CUSTOM CNC TECHNOLOGY will be the board which leads you to the podium - at your local spot or at any fin racing competition.

TECH FEATURES

TechFeature

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.

FULL CUSTOM CNC TECHNOLOGY


Duotone Premium Strap

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. Board specific attachments:

  • All World Cup boards come equipped with double-screw plugs to prevent any twist and ensuring the most direct connection to the board
  • All other boards come equipped with single-screw plugs to allow a faster repositioning of the straps plus a more comfortable ride due to a certain "give"


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.

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

Ergonomic rail design for maximum grip in jibes and 100 % power from start to finish.

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

Rocker Line

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

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.

YOUR PERFECT SAIL MATCH

Quote Jordy Vonk (IFCA FIN WORLD CHAMPION 2022)

»In a way, we all behave the same: when I get a new board, my first check is also to lift the board and then tap onto the hull. With the new FALCON_FIN D/LAB, it's an entirely new level: I've never lifted a lighter slalom board and tapping the hull sounds like tapping steel. So now for the first time you get the most competitive shapes in a 100% custom made technology.«
