Future Fly Dark Horse 2023

We present the Future Fly Dark Horse 2023.

The flagship from the house Future Fly lives up to its name on land and on the water. The aggressive look gives the Formula 1 feeling that every slalom driver craves. 

Arnon Dagan and the Future Fly team developed every detail, from the more conservative cut outs, the rails, the bottom and the rocker line, and worked with experienced board engineers to make it a reality. Testing took place on the water and in all conditions - nothing was left to chance. 

But the phenomenal exterior would be worthless without a tough coat of Carbon underneath. The Future Fly "Madness" construction, which is used in the Dark Horse, is the most expensive on the windsurfing market and accordingly contains the highest quality materials. 

This Carbon construction not only makes the board more durable and resistant, it also makes the entire construction even stiffer. This results in a direct feel, faster acceleration and more controlled jibes. 

And sure, every brand writes such things. Future Fly claims that you can not only read the difference, but also notice it. 

New since 2022

The development of the Future Fly Dark Horse series has literally reached a new level in 2022. The general further development of the boards, in all different sizes, was achieved by building our own custom factory, for the production of high-precision prototypes. This has allowed for much more improvement and testing in the development process than in previous years. The results are a unique combination of incredible build quality and a now even more ingenious driving experience. 

Dark Horse 97

The Starkwind machine was fundamentally revised in 2022. New is the deck concave and the correspondingly newly developed cut outs. Improvements were thus achieved in the top speed, control and jibing. In particular, the "Railen" of the board has become easier and more balanced by the further developments. 

Dark Horse 107

The 107 Dark Horse is the little brother of the 117 version and largely coincides in its driving characteristics. Especially for lighter slalom riders this board is an alternative.

In 2022 the tail is slightly wider to improve pointing performance. The board has more "V" and improved speed and planing characteristics. The nose is thinner and less wide to improve aerodynamics. The rails at the base of the mast are rounder to make jibes more fluid. 

Dark Horse 117

The Medium Board sets standards, not only in specific performance, but also in sail & wind range. 

The 2022 version is significantly faster, rides better in the jibe and is easier to control. So massive development progress has been made compared to the previous model. 

The tail is slightly wider to improve pointing performance. The rocker line is lower at 150cm length and combined with more V. Speed, glide and comfort have thus been improved. 

Like its little brother, the 107 Dark Horse, the nose has been made thinner and narrower to improve aerodynamics. Likewise, the rails were more rounded at the height of the mast base to improve the neck properties. 

The board is also a total of 0.5cm wider and is now at 73cm wide, at the maximum point. The cutouts are more aggressively designed and facilitate the dosing of grip / lift ratio and increase the top speed. The water flow of the cutouts was tested with onboard cameras, drone images and performance measurements under laboratory conditions. 

Dark Horse 122

This unusual board is the big brother of the 117 medium board. The features and riding characteristics are, except for the additional volume, virtually identical. However, the extra volume and thus the wider outline, also allow the use of large sails up to 9.0. Especially for heavier riders and those who are rather in little wind, the 122 Dark Horse is an alternative to the all-round 117. 

Dark Horse 132

The slalom board for light to medium wind rides, due to the enormous stiffness of the material, enormously compact. Suitable for the larger sails and developed for maximum speed, it leaves nothing to be desired. Affectionately christened "Horse of all Horses" by Arnon, the ingenious design proves itself day after day on the water.
