- Booomtag identifies equipment using NFC or QR stickers/tags and stores ownership and equipment details in a browser-based wallet.
- In an emergency or if the item is lost, finders can easily contact the owner; equipment can be reported as lost or stolen, preventing unauthorised use.
- There are stickers, as well as credit card- and coin-sized tags for boards, bags and clothing; KNRM uses self-adhesive Booomtags, whilst kit brands integrate them into the equipment.

- Thruster setups usually offer more turning pleasure and control, single fins tend to offer a straighter, freeride-orientated ride and more lift.
- On the Goya One and Severne Dyno, single fin offers noticeably freer, faster planing; on the Starboard Kode, however, the thruster setup clearly works better.
- With Duotone, JP, Tabou 3S+ and We One, the differences are minor: Thruster mainly improves turning without significantly worsening planing and glide.

Testing fin setups: single fin or thruster for freemove boards?

- Duotone launches new wave and freestyle fin range with Quad, Tri, F_Wave (Thruster/Single) and F_Style fins made from G10 and CARBO_TECH.  
- With the help of AI_FIN-CAD and a shorter design, the fins should offer more control, drive, agility, grip, acceleration and tip flex with high durability.  
- Quad and Tri sets are designed as harmonised systems for high-performance waves, F_Wave for all-round freewave and F_Style for modern new-school freestyle.

Test masts: RDM vs. SDM - thick or thin? Which mast can do more?

Masts and extensions

- NeilPryde has revised the 2026 boom range; the Atec 25 is the thinnest aluminium boom with a 25 mm tube diameter.  
- The Atec 25 is very grippy and stiff in 160-210 cm lengths, even with a 7.0 Speedster Evo and 40 cm extension.  
- The head piece fits RDM and SDM masts; the Atec 25 costs 289 euros and is available in 140-190 and 160-210 cm.

From the lab to the water: Freerace fork trees in a practical test - thin beats stiff

- Freerace forks vary in stiffness and grip diameter, which affects handling and performance; carbon often offers greater adjustment ranges.
- A larger tube diameter increases stiffness but affects the feel; thinner forks are often more manageable and favoured.
- Tests show that even less stiff forks are not significantly more compliant on the water; carbon forks often offer better value for money.

Test: 20 booms for large sails in a laboratory test (170/180-220/230)

Booms

Wave boom: North Sails Ultimate Carbon boom in test - exclusive carbon club

Accessories: New boom front pieces at GunSails - up to 200 grams lighter

- Foil Lock from Surfinlock secures the board and foil by inserting it into the foil mounting rail and locking it with a safety cable.
- The system conceals the mast plate screws, is adjustable in length and height and compatible with standard foil systems up to 215 mm mast plate length.
- Made from saltwater-resistant stainless steel, prices: €44.90 (Foil Lock only) or €64.90 with Looplock Cable, available from the manufacturer's shop.

Security: Foil Lock from Surfinlock - theft protection for boards & foils

- 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?

- Magic Wedge enables stepless, quick adjustment of the backwing angle on the Patrik AEON Foil without dismantling the set-up.  
- Two adjustment ranges (0-1.5° and 0.8-2.3°) replace many individual shim plates and allow fine tuning for speed and riding stability.  
- The system is based on two screwed plates, uses original screws, costs €25 or €35 and is available exclusively from Peters Windsurfing-Shop.

Accessories: Magic Wedge - clever trim plates for the Patrik AEON Foil

Foils

- Flow Fins develops handmade, partly personalised carbon and G10 fins for regatta riders and freeracers in Denmark.
- Bestsellers are the slalom fin SLR and a seagrass fin with a large surface area for flat water, both for high control and a wide range of conditions.
- Sales are primarily via the website flowwindsurf.com; prices: G10 fins in the low 200 euro range, carbon models up to just over 500 euros.

Neoprene & harnesses

- We tested two lightweight summer neoprene shoes from France: Atan Sunfast and Wetty Reef Surf Boots, both with latex soles.
- Atan Sunfast: very soft, good fit, balanced compromise between protection and board feel, but narrow entry.
- Wetty Reef: very light, cut-resistant Armortex, strong barefoot feel with little cushioning, treadless sole and large size jumps.

- GA Beat hip harness (€249) offers a soft, snug fit, good pressure distribution and great freedom of movement for a wide range of uses.  
- Quick-release fastener holds securely, but is a little awkward to open/close and doesn't look fully developed.  
- The harness is heavily padded, protects the ribcage and sits very comfortably, but tends to run a little smaller than usual.

Harnesses: GA Beat - particularly comfortable waist harness on test

Neoprene novelty: Prolimit Vapor C-Zip with new entry in the test

- Radio keys are sensitive to water; frequent hiding places such as on the front tyre are considered unsafe.
- Mobile key safes offer better protection, but can be tricky in terms of insurance law; conditions depend on the respective policy.
- Waterproof key pouches under the Neo are theft-proof; models such as Fidlock Hermetic mini or Keyfender have different carrying properties.

Guide: Where to put the car key when surfing?

- Sjø helmet remains soft and flexible thanks to Kevlar, only hardens on impact and feels more like a cap.
- The helmet is very light (280 g dry, 320 g wet) and offers a high level of protection according to DIN certificates and Virginia Tech ratings.
- Adjustable straps and magnetic fastening ensure a good fit, but require a little patience; limited manoeuvrability under a hoodie.

- New pushrack surfboard carrier for rear transport of up to three boards, saves roof access and interior space in the van.
- Modular system, compatible with mounting rails from Airline, Thule, Fiamma and existing Pushrack configurations.
- Bag carrier with belt system, technical felt made from production waste, suitable for off-road use; accessories for securing, boxes, e-scooters, camping.
