DARK HORSE 97
The redesigned 97 represents a significant leap forward, seamlessly integrating the swift profile of the 2019 model with a slightly softer, contemporary rail. Drawing from the insights gained across the 2020 to 2022 boards, this fusion results in a board that effortlessly handles strong winds, boasts explosive speed, and exhibits superior gybing capabilities compared to any of our previous models. It outperforms both the enchanting 2019 and the current 2023 boards, which clinched the top spot at the 2023 Defi Wind. The eagerly anticipated new 97 is set to redefine your windsurfing experience.
