- PWA and IWA intensify their co-operation, IWA takes over administrative tasks to increase efficiency and event coordination.
- PWA remains the world tour for professional windsurfing, IWA focusses on class management, global development and structures of the sport.
- The aim is to create a more networked, sustainable structure that benefits professional and junior athletes, organisers and officials.

World Cup: PWA and IWA intensify co-operation

- JP-Australia Freestyle Wave is a versatile crossover board for flat water, chop, bump & jump and first wave rides.  
- Large thruster fin set, long flat planing surface and strong V in the underwater hull ensure early planing, stability and damping.  
- The board offers great manoeuvrability: good-natured jibes in all radii, tight turns, decent jumping characteristics, easy to ride even for intermediates.

- The Severne Dyno 115 combines an extremely wide, thick tail with a slim nose and thus offers high stability and a comfortable stance.
- In normal to good winds, the board planes early, runs very smoothly and controlled, dampens strongly and is suitable for sporty freeriding.
- The far back stance, lots of V-shape and tail edges ensure strong pop, good jumping and tight to wide, controlled jibes.

- Patrik F-Cross 113 is a comfort-orientated freeride board with strong glide and a stable, flat position when planing.
- Shape details such as a long planing surface, flat deck, external straps and soft pads promote control, comfort and freeride performance.
- Its strengths lie in power jibes and planing manoeuvres; can handle sails up to 7.0 m², weight 6.85 kg, price 2499 euros.

- The video test compares the construction, trimming tips, equipment, planing, control, handling and wave suitability of both models.

- NeilPryde offers the Combat wave sail in two very lightweight designs: HD (2.90 kg) and Pro Fuse (2.75 kg, welded clew).
- The new Combat differs fundamentally from the model up to 2024 in its modified luff curve, boom length and profile.
- The video test covers a comparison of construction methods, differences to previous models, trimming tips, equipment and riding impressions in waves and control.

- Windsurfer LT is experiencing a revival: suitable for beginners to regatta riders, with a large deck pad and can also be used as a SUP.  
- Compared to the original Windsurfer (1967-1986), the LT is wider, lighter, more controllable, with a dense folding centreboard and modern rig.  
- The LT windsurfer has been spreading around the world since 2018; large regatta fields, an active scene and championships are proof of its continuing popularity.

- Extendable extension tube enables transport of long masts up to 4.90 m with a compact bag length of 2.30 m
- Spacious, lightweight design with lashing straps, padding, multiple handles as well as inner and mesh pockets for accessories and additional impact protection

Tried out: New NeilPryde board bag with retractable stowage tube and smart features

- Helmets are increasingly being used in surfing, especially foiling, to prevent head injuries caused by contact with the material.  
- Tight spots due to precise wind forecasts and social media increase the risk of collisions, which is why more water sports enthusiasts are wearing head protection.  
- Modern water sports helmets are lightweight, absorb little water, come in different materials and shapes and must fit the size of the head exactly.

- TRUDIFIN is a patented, modular fin system with an interchangeable horizontal wing for customised lift and board trim.  
- The aim is earlier planing in light winds with a classic fin feel; market launch is planned for 2027.  
- Fins (28-40 cm) and wings (150-500 cm²) made from hybrid CFRP-GRP or G10 fit into standard boxes and are aimed at surfers, schools and manufacturers.

Fin innovation: Is TRUDIFIN closing the gap between fin surfing and foiling?

- With Rip Curl, Citroën is launching the limited special edition Ami Rip Curl in two variants, Sunrise (yellow) from June 2026 and Sunset (purple) from August 2026.
- Black bodywork "Black Night", Rip Curl graphics, rear spoiler, white 14-inch rims and colour-coordinated interior details characterise the design.
- Technically the same as the series model: 45 km/h top speed, range of up to 75 km, approx. 4 hours charging from a household socket, can be driven with an AM driving licence from the age of 15.

- Wild camping stands for maximum independence and spontaneous spot selection, without bookings, check-in times and campsite rules.  
- Legal restrictions, prohibition signs and height limits are making it increasingly difficult to stay overnight in attractive locations.  
- Modern campsites offer legal, comfortable and sometimes natural alternatives with vanlife charm and better infrastructure for families.

Pros & cons: Wild camping at the spot - yes or no?

Scene & Events

- Simple carrying option: Simply position the mast, sail and boom, attach the extension to the base of the mast and clamp the package under the arm.
- Prerequisite: sail slightly longer than the boom, thick lower part of the mast on the outside, thin part on top so that nothing can fall out.
- Advantage: Very fast transport without cords or pulleys; disadvantage: Arm or hand fatigue for distances of approx. 500 metres or more.

Lifehack: The simplest carrying option in the world? (For small material)

- Required for bodydrag: safe planing, carving experience, manoeuvre-oriented sail, wide board and smooth water with stable wind.  
- Technique: jump out of the loops, drop slightly onto a room wind course, keep your arms bent, sail close but far back.  
- Common mistakes: outstretched arms with full body in the water or sail too upright, which leads to a skid or spinloop-like fall.

Riding technique: Bodydrag - just let it slide

- Stepping into the rear loop often fails due to incorrect loop position; beginners should use the front, inner plug rows.  
- Incorrectly adjusted loop size makes it difficult to get in; foot should slide in far, toes visible on the inside, lateral hold secured.  
- The choice of course makes it easier to get on the board: in light winds, tack slightly upwind, in strong winds tack to windward for more control.
