Style, grace and consistency sum up this year’s all new Da Curve range.

The new outline takes this board to the next level of performance. We pushed our widepoints further forward, narrowed out the tail and increased volume in front of the mast track. We have increased the V numbers to keep the quick planing and easy sailing these boards have been credited with. All these changes have turned the boards into ultra fast, razor sharp turning machines.

Purpose built for any wave sailing conditions or whatever you throw at it! The ultimate tool for expressing the way you turn.

NEW & IMPROVED• Narrow tail section for tighter turns• Slightly longer length• Fuller nose• Increased V throughout• Same fast, progressive rocker line.• Triple Curve Rocker Line

Perfect combination of speed, responsiveness, planning and radical re-entry assistance.

• PCCS OutlinePower Carving, Control and Stability.

• Compact ShapeLighter nose and superior balance.

• Smoother Entry Rail Always able to change direction.• Razor Rails- turns on a dime• Heavy Duty Construction• Team Edition Construction

2008 series

A complete redesign of the Pocket wave has evolved to deliver the fi ner aspects of wavesailing performance.

Quick turns and more stability are new for 2008. Set a rail and hang on because when you tell the Pocket to turn, it wastes no time. Bump and jump, freestyle and high wind blasting are second nature for this ride! The outline comes from last years board and has been stretched out in length and given a slightly narrower tail section. The Volume and Widepoint have been moved forward. The Pin tail ads more control and directional stability to handle a wider range of sailor levels. The Pocket will make beginners and pro’s alike keep coming back for more.

NEW & IMPROVED• New outline & Wave Fin• Refined rails & More control• Wave Compact

Jump like the pro’s and plane like a dream. Lighter nose and superior balance.

Tabou Freestyle boards have been some of the best in the market. A strong demand for the boards keeps us pushing the limits. With the input from our team, the Freestyle boards have taken on a few changes. We increased the thickness in our most popular 100 liter board. We beefed up the rails as well as added more thickness to the tail to give you more POP for your tricks-so you will fi nd earlier planing and more stability for the new moves. The 110 stays the

same and keeps the big guys stoked. The 80 liter board has the small guys spinning like crazy and so this year, we added a new baby to the fl eet- a 90 liter brother that fi lls in the gap for any freestyler out there.

NEW & IMPROVED• 90 liter addition to the range• 100 liter increased volume

• Rounded nose and tailFaster Rocker line

• Freestyle Compact Outline Lighter nose and superior balance.• Flat Rocker

The Ultimate in early planning ability.• Double Deck Precision of super thin board,

comfort of thick round deck boards.• Full Tuck Rail Nose to Tail Forgiving and promotes controlled

slide.• Nose Bevels Slide forward with low swing weight.• Step Tail and Forward Straps Slide backwards with confidence and

makes flat water jumping easier.• Light Construction Light boards make all maneuvers

easier.

J-STYLECall it a 2 Style if you want, this board remains the same as last season. Built for not only junior, but Mom and Dad can sail this board as well.

In the last 2 seasons, the 3S has proven to be one of the best boards in our range. When you combine 3 styles into one board, you have to be focused to deliver the goods.

We have taken 2 years of feedback and developed a completely new range based on YOUR feedback.

The new graphics are some of the coolest designs in the range and will make your friends green with envy!

3S 87 and 97:

We wanted to get better turning and a fraction more wave abilities from these boards. We pulled the tail in and complemented this with a new rocker that delivers tighter turns, a higher top end speed and quicker acceleration. The rails are thinner enabling more grip and an easier ride!

3S 107:

The big guy’s boat, this new board has a faster rocker to get you up and going with ease. The same characteristics on the rails and outline of the smaller brothers, the 107 sets a new level in versatility. Slogging in waves, freeride blasting, or just plain old bump and jumping, you really do get 3 boards in 1…

We are proud of this new shape and look forward to seeing it at the top of the Freeride podium.

Developed closely with 2 time SuperX world Champion: Matt Pritchard, these Rocket boards are proven to deliver results.

The success of our racing team comes from lots of R&D. The Manta board range delivered top results on the world cup all season long. For 2008, we have introduced 2 new shapes to set these boards on a new playing fi eld.

The already proven fast and controllable rocker lines remain the same. A deep double concave starts at the nose and fairs into the front footstraps with a maximum depth at 50cm from the nose. This makes for a smoother ride and increases planing by pressuring air under the hull and lifting the board up. Top end speed and control has never been better.

Manta 54 is the newest shape in the stable. Built for top end speed and turning ease, this new baby will knock your socks off. The rails have upgraded

to more fullness on the deck and a bit more tuck on the bottom to give the grip needed to crank a turn at 40 knots.Manta 59 sees a completely new design very much like the 54. Refined rails on the deck with more tuck on the bottom, this speed machine is ready to rumble.Our theory remains, “if it works, don’t fix it!” The 2008 Manta range is highly competitive and will continue to impress the best!

Manta features for the Big guys:• Flex adjustable flap and vacuum release system.

• The plan was to get a reliable light and simple system. We came out with a flap held by 2 screws and delivered with 2 different sized spacer’s to adjust their height and fine-tune your board balance.

•These flaps allow the air to circulate under them from the back to the front of the cut out releasing the vacuum created by speed on the hull and making the water come down in to the cut out.

• The flaps also have some flex. This makes them bend when touching the water so that it’s more smooth and free feeling. You can adjust this flex by moving the spacer forward or backward.

Now you can custom tailor your racing board to your weight. Adjustability will be a big factor in winning races. We are sure the Manta’s will be everybody’s favorite.

For 2008, the 325 is a timeless classic and remains unchanged. With its succes we decided to ad a new 295 windstyler for the lighter riders and areas with some more planing winds .The tail pipes have enabled this board to shine from Lake Garda all the way to the USA!

Taking a look back to the days of early windsurfing, you see longboards; lots of them. Waters all around the world were filled with wind powered crafts that put smiles on just about anybody’s face. People were sailing in no wind, a little wind and even a lot of wind- all on one board. These were the days when windsurfing was booming. People were into it and the future shows that longboarding is coming back, much like surfing.

If you were one of those who had the One- Design style windsurfer, surely you can remember the fun in cruising around spinning the sail, railriding and whatever else you could think of.

A few years after that, a new craze came into the sport- it was all about going fast and getting up on a plane. Boards began to get shorter and shorter, having less and less volume. This decreased the number of days you could get on the water and have FUN!

Imagine if you could combine both attributes, no wind cruising and planing in the same board.... Wouldn’t that be great? Times are changing and Tabou are more than excited to introduce the Windstyler- a windsurfing revolution.

The board has a 30cm “step tail” that allows for planing when the wind is strong enough- this turns the planing surface to 295cm (9’6”) and allows you to be cruising at speed with ease. Because of this, there is no need to move the mastrack- it automatically happens once the board is planing because of the step tail.

The Windstyler has a surfstyle longboard outline that provides a large area to play on. Old school freestyle is easy as ever and the wide and long dagger board makes the board easy to sail upwind.

They say comfort is king and the EVA deck gives you freedom to move without hurting your feet and ankles- railrides can finally be pain free!

Windsurfing’s “rebirth” is here and ready for you. Get back to the basics- remember the days and seize the opportunity to put the fun back into your lifestyle no matter what the wind is doing.

The Windstyler is sure to take windsurfing to the next level- see you there!

Tabou and You... different by nature!
