future fly dark horse 5

The future is faster, lighter & stronger. The next generation of the Dark Horse is built on a lifetime of World Cup experience and extensive on-water testing. The 2026 range sets a new standard in construction technology, combining innovative engineering with renewed shapes and design to deliver the fastest boards we have ever made.

NEW HIGHLIGHTS 

+ARB System for sizes 116 & 136, enhancing acceleration, control, and top-end performance in challenging conditions. All-new shape concept for sizes 116 & 136, and a refined cut-out system for size 96, bringing the entire range to a new level. –400 g (±3%) thanks to the new carbon layup, while increasing stiffness, durability, and responsiveness.

+ARB SYSTEM 

The Air Release Booster has two complementary components: Air-Release-Channels and Air-Release-Tunnels. Air-Release-Channels act like extended center cut-outs, providing an extra exit at the tail. They release excess air under the board, reduce pressure, improve release, and help prevent stalling. Air-Release-Tunnels feed air from the deck into the Channels, which then mixes with the water below the board. This results in a hovering effect. On the water, chop feels smoother, acceleration is effortless, overpowered situations are easier to handle, and acceleration improves. During jibes, the tunnels add grip and stability, allowing tighter, controlled turns with a safe, predictable feel.

NEW CARBON MADNESS CONSTRUCTION 

The windsurf industry’s benchmark construction has been further improved. By carefully analyzing and optimizing the carbon fiber layup, strength and stiffness have been increased while weight has been significantly reduced. Additional carbon has been placed in key areas of the board, allowing for less fiberglass usage and resulting in a lighter, more durable, and more responsive feel on the water. Minus 400 gramm (+-3%)
