In the automotive sector, the Freerace group would probably be labelled "motorsport for the road". Material that has been trimmed for maximum speed, but should still be easy to control and forgiving. For the vast majority of windsurfers, these are the boards they use for spontaneous duelling at their home spot, at the Speedrun with GPS or at fun regattas. What's more, some of our candidates are also excellent for cruising - always ready to hit the throttle immediately if required. And control is not immediately lost in choppy water and overpowered conditions.
The test group tends to be in the light wind range and, with a 7.8 sail, starts planing even before the first whitecaps. Some of the boards are also ideal for sessions with a foil. The Tabou Fifty has even written on its shiny laminate that it is equally suitable for fin and foil.
Exciting newcomers in the test group
Alongside old favourites such as the Starboard Futura, the Goya Bolt and the JP-Australia Super Sport, the brand new Duotone Blitz has also been put to the test for the first time. In addition, the Future Fly White Tiger is an exciting newcomer to the Test to Tobago travelled. From the large JP family, the Super Ride is included as a border crosser to the freeride sector, as well as promising candidates such as the Severne Fox, the Patrik F-Race and the Tabou Rocket+. The group has been tuned primarily on the basis of board width - the more important criterion in this class than volume.
In the picture gallery above we show you all the freerace boards in the test with the most important details. All riding impressions and reviews will be published in the coming weeks here at surf-magazin.de and in surf 4/2026 from 23 June!
