The Siren is noticeably similar to its larger counterpart from the 12'6" class, even if the outline is completely different.

At "one foot off", the classic width measurement for surfboards, just one foot away from the bow, it is still very wide and still shows a lot of bend in the bow. As a result, the board really turns on the disc and even if you go far back, the wide tail still carries you very securely. With two nets and plenty of volume under the front net, it carries a lot of luggage on the tour. The high-curved nose is part of the windsurfing suitability, which is made possible by a mast foot attachment and a second fin box under the board.

PLUS Very manoeuvrable; windsurfing option with mast base and fin; reasonable priceMINUS nothing

Stephan Gölnitz

Deputy Editor in Chief surf

Stephan Gölnitz comes from Bochum and had Holland as his home windsurfing territory for many years before moving to Munich in 1996 for the job of test editor at surf magazine. The materials engineering graduate worked as a surf instructor on the Ijsselmeer during his studies and competed for several seasons for the Essen sailing team in the Surfbundesliga and the Funboard Cup. He completed a traineeship at surf-Magazin in the test department and since then has actively accompanied almost all tests on the boom and for more than 10 years also as a photographer. Stephan has covered many thousands of test kilometers, mainly on Lake Garda and in Langebaan, but also in Egypt and Tobago. He gets his hands on over 100 new sails and boards every year as his company car. Privately, he prefers to surf with a foil on Lake Walchensee or “unfortunately far too rarely” in the waves. SUP is Stephan's second passion, which he pursued for several years at numerous SUP races. Today, he prefers to paddle on river tours with family or friends - even for several days.
