Tabou Da Curve 2026 – Pro Model Thomas Traversa
The ultimate wave board for the most demanding riders
Introducing the 2026 Tabou Da Curve, the iconic wave board of choice for legendary sailor Thomas Traversa. This board represents the pinnacle of waveriding innovation, offering an unsurpassed combination of maneuverability, grip, and control. The new shape has been refined for 2026 with a round pintail outline, parallel center, and tapered tail, features that make this board extremely responsive in the most radical cutbacks and in a wide variety of wave conditions.
The hull features a continuous single concave with no flat surfaces and a new scoop, elements that ensure immediate planing, fluid turns, and a dynamic response to any command. Performance is taken to the next level thanks to the K4 fins, renowned for their carving quality and superior grip even at high speeds. The Da Curve's great versatility is further enhanced by the presence of five slot boxes, which allow configurations with any fin setup—thruster, quad, or single—thanks to which every rider can customize the board based on their surfing style.
Ideal for both pure down-the-line conditions and less regular onshore waves, the Da Curve remains a favorite among waveriding enthusiasts looking for a board that delivers on both performance and durability.
Top build quality
An obsession with quality and technological innovation characterizes every detail of the Tabou Da Curve. Selected materials are used to ensure maximum lightness combined with a reinforced structure: a super-light EPS core, an ultra-light fiberglass shell, high-density PVC foam, Innegra carbon reinforcements, high-density wood in the most critical areas, and ultra-light graphics to avoid unnecessary weight. Performance and durability thus reach levels never seen before on a wave board.
