Test 2017 - All-round boards: Sup-Monsters Sailfish 11'5'' x 33''
Tested last year as the Barracuda, now apparently almost unchanged as the Sailfish. But the name change is not without reason and the clearly visible upturned nose is not superfluous either.

The board now offers the full windsurfing option: with a holder for the mast base and a second fin box for mounting a centre fin. This makes the first windsurfing trips very promising. When paddling, the Sailfish proved to be a cheerfully colourful all-rounder, not a real racer on long tours, but very manoeuvrable and stable, a board that the whole family can paddle on. For more ambitious paddlers, however, the board is quite wide and has a very pronounced curve at the front - a price that is probably primarily due to the windsurfing option.

PLUS Windsurfing option; manoeuvrable; stable; two nets; reasonable priceMINUS Deckpad should reach further back

CONCLUSION A modern outline that loses some of its performance due to the raised bow. A classic all-rounder for paddlers without overly specific requirements.

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.
