Tabou Cross V8 Carbon – Freeride / Bump & Jump Windsurf Board 2026
The Tabou Cross V8 Carbon represents the definitive evolution of the freeride and bump & jump concept. Now in its eighth generation, it's the board for those who want it all: speed, control, comfort and performance in the waves. For 2026, the range expands with two new sizes ( 74 L and 124 L ) and a completely revisited shape that enhances its versatility.
The new outline maintains the lightning-fast planing and excellent top speed, but now provides even more control in choppy conditions or rough seas. The new redesigned rails allow for tighter turns, superior control on the waves and exceptional grip even in the most aggressive maneuvers.
With multiple strap positions and a multi-fin configuration (Power Box + 2 Slot Box) , The Cross V8 Carbon adapts perfectly to the rider's style and the conditions of the day, moving from fast freeride to wave riding with the same ease. It's the board that uniquely combines power, fluidity and fun.
Main features
- Full Carbon construction: stiffness, lightness and top reactivity for acceleration and control.
- New outline and refined rails: more precise turns, greater grip and stability at high speeds.
- Multi-fin setup: Compatible with single or thruster setups to suit freeride and wave.
- Multiple strap positions: customizable setup for any level or type of spot.
- Fluid behavior: absorbs chop and impacts without losing acceleration or directionality.
