VAPOR 2026
PWA Slalom-Racing Weapon
The Vapor 2026 marks the next evolution in pure slalom performance, delivering unmatched acceleration, control, and top speed through innovative material updates and refined aerodynamics. Every detail of this sail has been optimized to give racers the edge they need on the course — from explosive starts to maximum efficiency across the course.
A brand-new construction featuring Project 85 Aramid Technology in the complete mast sleeve and batten pockets sets a new standard for performance and durability. This ultra-light, low-stretch, and highly resistant material enhances profile stability and responsiveness while reducing overall weight. Combined with a Color Monofilm foot panel, the Vapor now feels lighter and more balanced than ever, allowing for instant acceleration and effortless handling through jibes.
The updated outline with a bigger dropped clew cutout shortens boom length, improving agility around marks and enhancing control in gusty or choppy conditions. Every movement feels more direct and connected, letting riders push harder and react faster in racing situations.
For 2026, the refined twist pattern tightens the mid-sleeve tension to boost performance on close reach courses, offering a more locked-in feeling, superior forward drive, and efficient release at the leech for consistent top-end speed.
With its combination of cutting-edge materials, precise balance, and race-proven geometry, the Vapor 2026 stands as the ultimate competition sail for riders chasing podium finishes at every level.

Quality, advanced technology and innovation means everything to us.
Our goal is to provide every surfer with the perfect sail for his or her demands, which is why we implement the right materials and features for each application area.
Depending on the sail model we use the suitable combination of different materials of highest quality to achieve the perfect mix of lightness, durability, power and handling.
Quality, advanced technology and innovation means everything to us and each step in the development process is extensively planned to offer unique windsurfing performance.
FEATURES :
1 – CONTINUOUS RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT
We’ve revolutionized the panel layout by creating continuous panels that run radially from the sail’s center. By eliminating cross seams, which are common in traditional horizontal and vertical panel setups, the whole panel works as a unit with a better feedback to the loads.
2 – PROJECT 85 ARAMID TECHNOLOGY MAST SLEEVE & BATTEN POCKETS
Full mast sleeve and batten pockets made from ultra-light, low-stretch Project 85 Aramid Technology UPE laminate deliver unmatched profile stability, responsiveness, lightness, and long-lasting durability.
3 – REFINED TWIST PATTERN
Improved mid-sleeve tension enhances acceleration and power on close reach courses while maintaining perfect leech release for top-end speed and control.
4 – UPDATED OUTLINE
A larger dropped clew cutout shortens boom length for increased responsiveness and smoother handling, especially when jibing or maneuvering around marks.
5 – HIGH TENSION PROFILE
High tension in the Vapor’s profile ensures constant power delivery and control across changing wind conditions, giving riders confidence to push harder in every race.
6 – CROSS BATTEN CONCEPT
The cross batten provides perfect stability in the profile of the Vapor and a fixed center of pressure.
7 – 4 CAM PERFORMANCE DESIGN
The Vapor features four cambers and seven battens, delivering the ideal balance of uncompromising performance and smooth, effortless batten rotation.
8 – COLOR MONOFILM FOOT PANEL
The foot section in Color Monofilm reduces overall weight while maintaining durability, creating a lighter, more reactive feel.
THE CONTINUOUS RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT.
This innovative design uses continuous panels aligned with the sail’s natural load paths, eliminating cross seams for better load distribution, enhanced stability and improved responsiveness.
The result ? Sails that offer smoother handling, greater efficiency and top-end performance across all parameters.
