Vapor AIR 2026
PWA Slalom-Racing FOIL Weapon
The Vapor Air 2026 redefines foil racing performance with a complete redesign focused on speed, balance, and control. Building on the success of the 2025 model, this latest evolution combines cutting-edge materials with a new outline and refined aerodynamics to deliver even more stability, efficiency, and agility around the marks.
A completely new construction with Project 85 Aramid Technology UPE laminate in the full mast sleeve and batten pockets sets a new standard in racing sail technology. This ultra-light, low-stretch, and highly durable material increases responsiveness and profile stability while minimizing overall weight. The implementation of a Color Monofilm foot panel further lightens the sail, resulting in a more reactive, balanced feel and improved handling.
For 2026, the Vapor Air has been completely redesigned with a new outline featuring a shorter boom and lower clew, as well as updated luff curves, profiles, and batten configuration. The result is a performance boost across all aspects, optimizing aerodynamics, improving control, and ensuring an efficient, forward-driving feel with enhanced acceleration and top-end stability.
The slightly refined sizing in the larger sails – 8.0 and 7.3 – ensures seamless performance across the entire range, maintaining ideal balance and control no matter the wind conditions.
The result is a sail that keeps all the strengths of its predecessor – early lift, effortless handling, and smooth rotation – while pushing speed, control, and agility even further. The Vapor Air 2026 represents the pinnacle of foil racing evolution, giving you the confidence to accelerate, fly, and maneuver faster than ever before.

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 – NEW OUTLINE DESIGN
A completely redesigned outline with a shorter boom and lower clew increases responsiveness and smoother handling, especially when jibing or maneuvering around marks.
4 – UPDATED LUFF CURVES & PROFILES
Refined luff curves and profile shaping ensure superior stability, consistent power delivery, and better balance across all wind angles.
5 – HIGH TENSION PROFILE
High tension in the Vapor Air’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 Air and a fixed center of pressure.
7 – COLOR MONOFILM FOOT PANEL
The foot section in Color Monofilm reduces overall weight while maintaining durability, creating a lighter, more reactive feel.
8 – OPTIMIZED SIZE RANGE
Slight modifications in the larger sizes (8.4, 8.0 and 7.3) ensures seamless performance and consistent feel across the entire range.
NEW IN 2025 : THE CONTINUOUS RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT.
This season we proudly introduce the revolutionary Continuous Radial Panel Layout on select models, such as the Vapor, Vapor Air, Matrix, Matrix-ME and Cosmic.
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.
