PWA Fin Racing is back, and we have an unbeatable package for you!
2026 marks the biggest update to our entire racing lineup (boards and sails) in over 10 years!
In addition to our industry-leading FULL CUSTOM TECHNOLOGY, all shapes have been redesigned over the past 2 years using our exclusive AI_BOARD_3D software.
The result is simply stunning.
Even before you hit the water, you can already get a sense of what to expect. Just pick up the board and you’ll be shocked at how light it is. Then tap the hull and you’ll immediately notice how stiff the board is. Compare it to a typical semi-custom production board and the difference is obvious.
But wait until you get the board on the water. Our boards from recent years have already proven to be among the fastest, but these boards are on a whole different level.
In addition to the completely new shapes, the secret behind this leap in performance is our new AI_BOARD_3D software. The curves of the key elements—rocker, outline, and edge profile—are perfected using artificial intelligence coordinated to prevent the curves from working against each other. We initially tested this on the existing FALCON_FIN boards. Even though the human eye couldn’t tell the difference between the boards, the difference on the water was striking, as the AI-optimized boards showed a performance increase of over 10%.
WHAT'S NEW FOR 2026
AI_BOARD_3D
For the first time, all board sizes offer the same level of performance.
Higher Edges
Make it very easy to maintain the perfect trim.
Completely redesigned tail
Provides more release and keeps the board on track during acceleration.
Reduced length
Less nose lift and incredible control.
Updated RECESSED MAST TRACK AREA
Maximum efficiency between sail and board.
Larger medium board
The 118 medium board has been enlarged to deliver more power and acceleration.
Additional size
New to the lineup is the 124 size.
FALCON_FIN D/LAB - we are firmly convinced that the combination of the most competitive shapes and our brand-new FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY will be the board that takes you to the podium—at your local spot or in any fin racing competition!
MADE FOR THE FEW - MADE FOR YOU!
FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY
CNC-shaped using our highest-quality layup and 100% handcrafted, identical to high-end custom-made boards for an unmatched weight-to-durability ratio.
CUSTOMIZED
Individual color selection and a unique serial number make it your personal dream board.
PROVEN & TESTED SHAPES
Proven andtested shapes from the brand with the longest experience in windsurf board development. Because even a single millimeter or a fin/mast track position that doesn’t match the shape 100% can turn a magical board into an underperformer. This way, you or a potential second-hand buyer know exactly what you’re getting.
MADE TO ORDER
All D/LAB CUSTOMIZED boards are made-to-order boards. Your board is scheduled for production AFTER your order is placed and produced EXCLUSIVELY for you. Therefore, delivery can take up to 18 weeks (depending on when we secure a production slot for your board).
BRAND-NEW AND UNIQUE
THE LAUNCH OF THE D/LAB BOARDS IN 2024 WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA. 2026 MARKS THE BIGGEST UPDATE IN OUR BOARD HISTORY EVER. ASIDE FROM COMPLETELY NEW SHAPES, WE’VE LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED AND ARE EXCITED TO PRESENT YOU WITH SOME UNPRECEDENTED AND TRULY UNIQUE FEATURES, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGIES.
360° R&D
With designer Kai Hopf and our product managers Dani Aeberli and Marco Lang, a single team is now responsible for developing the boards, rigs, and even the Fins. This results in an unrivaled board-rig ecosystem where all DUOTONE products are now truly 100% compatible.
In addition to this perfect match, the other driving force behind our R&D is the tireless dedication of our wave team led by Victor Fernandez and Liam Dunkerbeck to creating ever-better products.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
Instead of the industry-standard semi-custom technology, all our boards are now manufactured using our FULL CUSTOM TECHNOLOGY, resulting in the best weight-to-durability ratio.
AI_BOARD_3D DESIGN SOFTWARE
Unlike the industry-standard Shape3d program, our own exclusive 3D CAD software is based on mathematically data-driven inputs. This allows us to verify the results using artificial intelligence to ensure maximum precision. Apart from being much more accurate and faster, complex 3D design tasks such as our groundbreaking SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT would otherwise have been simply impossible to realize.
EXCLUSIVELY CNC-SHAPED
All of our boards are now CNC-shaped, which is not only much more precise— — but also offers decisive advantages over the traditional semi-custom method, allowing us to introduce new shapes at any time to implement.
PRODUCTION-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
Every single prototype is manufactured in our exclusive factory using the exact same process and materials as the production boards. This ensures that every prototype has exactly the same weight and flex, so it feels identical to the board you’ll receive.
