Several manufacturers have revised their wave range for the 2026 season, and Patrik has also fundamentally modified the QTS-Wave. In this video test, we reveal how the performance waveboard differs from its predecessor, what special features and equipment stood out and, of course, how the board performed on the water.
On the YouTube channel from Surf there are also videos on other waveboards in the test group. To find out how the QTS Wave fared in a direct comparison with competitor models, read our big waveboard test in Surf 11-12 2025 or HERE on the website.
