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

- Two board bags: Worldtour Performance (230x85 cm, € 379) and Worldtour Wave (240x70 cm, € 349) for 2 boards plus 3-4 sails and masts
- 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.

Head protection for wingfoiling and windsurfing: The perfect helmet for water sports enthusiasts - 19 models tested

Tried out: Extension GA Sails Carbon Team RDM in test - massive & filigree

Systems, material, trimming forces: everything about base plates and extensions

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

Masts and extensions

- 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)

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

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

- 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.

Neoprene & harnesses

- 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

Winter accessories: 13 gloves for water sports enthusiasts put to the test

- WindsportTracker V2 now supports 13 water sports and analyses not only speed but also manoeuvres, wave rides and pumping runs.
- The app runs on iPhone, Android and in the browser, synchronises sessions via user account and offers unlimited equipment management.
- Recording via smartphones, GPS watches and various file formats; subscription from 2.70 euros/month or 27 euros/year when booked via the website.

Cut and UV protection: new protection products from ION

- Nose damage in windsurfing is usually caused by mast impact; protection is provided by nose protectors or mast deflection systems.
- Nose protectors range from expensive, lightweight carbon bonnets and GRP shells to inexpensive, self-adhesive or clip-on foam solutions.
- Surfbent and Unifibre nose protectors deflect the mast in front of the nose; holding on to the fork can further reduce the consequences of a skid.
