There’s a reality that many in our industry avoid stating openly: the race for the “best gear” is no longer the decisive factor.

The 2026 PWA regulation introduces a structural adjustment to the balance between Slalom X (fin) and Foil racing. In previous seasons the framework was simple: Slalom X (fin) was limited to stronger wind conditions, with 2 boards. Foil could be used across the full wind range, with no defined upper limit.

What really goes into a modern slalom windsurf board? When people look at a slalom board, they usually see the obvious: outline, rocker, volume distribution, graphics.

Power and Control: Trimming as a Personal Choice In this article, we explore a key technical aspect for performance: slalom board trimming.
