Developers’ Comments
Arnon Dagan:
”After having developed hundreds of slalom boards, taking a step back and finding the right balance for a
freerace board was a super interesting challenge. Slalom is purely oriented at performance, but freeracing
brings in that element of easiness. As someone who has been hardcore racing all his life, this is truly
something different and pure joy. It made me smile so much to jump and blast with the Tiger, let’s let
everyone have fun with it!”
Mario Kümpel:
”The development task was clear – we wanted to build a freeracer that would make it easier to enter the world
of freeracing, but ultimately not just be characterized by compromises. We have achieved that. In the end, a
board is one thing, the other is to explain how everything works. I don’t want anyone to buy this freerace
board and end up not knowing how to use it or screwing the footstraps in so far that proper railing becomes
impossible. The mission is to make access to fast, lively windsurfing as easy as possible!”
Riding Characteristics
The White Tiger shape combines two things: the playfulness of the most modern shortboards and the
smoothness of classic windsurf shapes. In practice, this results in a slightly longer shape compared to slalom
boards, which leads to better early planing and a generally smoother ride on the water. Through refined rails,
adjusted cut-outs, a hyper-modern nose shape, and a perfectly blended-in deck concave, the harmonic
shape comes to life.
As soon as you get planing, the boards are ready to be put on the rail. If you are an experienced freeracer
you will use the outer foot strap positions; if you are new to the discipline, you can adapt with the
back-center-strap.
Railing the boards feels easier compared to their slalom counterparts – the rider can push if speed is wanted
and let go if relief is needed. In combination with the construction, which smoothens the impact of hard chop,
this allows you to sail much longer and concentrate on having fun!
