DARK HORSE 5 The future is faster, lighter & stronger. The next generation of the Dark Horse is built on a lifetime of World Cup experience and extensive on-water testing. The 2026 range sets a new standard in construction technology, combining innovative engineering with renewed shapes and design to deliver the fastest boards we have ever made. SHAPE Shaped and designed by Lior Alfassi, Arnon Dagan, and Taty Frans. All-new shape concept for sizes 116 & 136, and a refined cut-out system for size 96, bringing the entire range to a new level. +ARB System for sizes 116 & 136, enhancing acceleration, control, and top-end performance in challenging conditions. TORX DOUBLE PLUGS All foot straps are equipped with the highest quality double plugs. There is no chance that the straps will rotate or twist. Another advantage is that you can still use the straps as single plugs to open up further adjustment options (which we only recommend to a limited extent). CONSTRUCTION The windsurf industry's benchmark construction has been further improved. By carefully analyzing and optimizing the carbon fiber layup, strength and stiffness have been increased while weight has been significantly reduced. Additional carbon has been placed in key areas of the board, allowing for less fibreglass usage and resulting in a lighter, more durable, and more responsive feel on the water.
