Tabou - performance boards for windsurfing and wing foil
Tabou Boards is a windsurfing and wing foil board brand founded in France in 1991 by Fabien Vollenweider. The range is made for riders who want dedicated shapes for freeride, freerace, wave, freewave, racing, learning and allround wing foil use. Tabou’s approach is based on long board-shaping experience, fast prototype testing and a focus on performance, ease of use and durability.
What makes Tabou stand out?
- Shaper-led development: Fabien Vollenweider has more than 30 years of board-design experience and works closely with the Tabou test team.
- Fast prototype process: Tabou states that prototypes can be shaped, tested and tuned quickly before production, thanks to Fabien’s shaping room near Marseille.
- Multiple construction levels: MTE, LTD / LTE and TEAM versions give riders different options for weight, stiffness, durability, response and price positioning.
- Shape-specific design: models use details such as low-entry rocker, refined rail profiles, slender tail outline, kick tail sections and asymmetrical concave depending on the programme.
- Wide board range: Tabou covers freeride, freerace, wave, freewave, freestyle, learning and racing in windsurfing, plus allround, light-wind and high-performance wing foil shapes.
- Practical deck details: selected boards include multiple footstrap positions, large EVA footpad areas and adjustable insert layouts for comfort and control.
Who is Tabou for?
Tabou is for windsurfers and wing foilers who want a board shaped for a clear riding style. A Rocket works as a versatile windsurf board for progressing freeride riders who want early planing, control in chop and easy handling through the jibe.
Rocket Plus is aimed at riders looking for a faster freeride windsurf board with a freerace feel, while Manta sits in the slalom windsurf board category for speed-focused sailing. For wave and freewave riding, models such as 3S Plus and Da Bomb give more turning focus, rail control and confidence in stronger wind.
In wing foil, boards such as Pocket, Flying Saucer, Super Yaka, Zeppelin and Twister cover allround, wave, freeride, freestyle-style, light-wind and school use, with foil box setups matched to the discipline.
