The Future Fly White Tiger: Pure Freeracing
Pure freeracing
The Future Fly White Tiger is a pure freerace board. The board wants to be placed on the edge, fly over the water and maintain comfort despite its performance. The shape, construction and features of the White Tiger are all geared towards this objective.
However, the concept of the White Tiger does not end with the board itself. This is just where the journey begins. With our service and video content, which you can access via a QR code on the board, we make sure that you 'really' fly over the water on the edge.
Developer comments
"After having developed hundreds of slalom boards, taking a step back and finding the right balance for a freerace board was a super fun challenge. Slalom is purely performance oriented, but freeracing brings in that element of easiness. As someone who has been hardcore racing all his life, this is truly something different. It made me smile so much to jump and blast with the Tiger, lets let everyone have fun with it!" - Arnon Dagan
"The task in development was clear - we want to build a freeracer that makes it easier to enter the world of freeracing, but is ultimately not only characterized by compromises. We have achieved that. The board is one thing, the other is to explain how everything works. I don't want anyone to buy this freerace board and end up not knowing how to use it or screwing the footstraps in so far that proper railing becomes impossible. The mission is to make access to fast, lively windsurfing as easy as possible!" - Mario Kümpel
Shape & features
The shapes of all three boards are a fusion of classic, slightly longer freeracers and modern, lively slalom boards. All shapes are equipped with important features that contribute to performance and the service experience.
QR Code Content - You can access the website via the QR code printed on the rear. Here you will find a list of tips, tricks and tutorials for your board. The content is always up to date with the latest research and development so that you can keep yourself informed about your board.
Chicken Strap - With the rear and slightly foggier chicken strap you can get used to the feeling of the White Tiger and switch to full throttle mode as soon as you are ready. For the experience of "railing" and "really fast sailing" you will ultimately need to use the outer footstrap positions.
Double plugs - All foot straps are equipped with the inexpensive double plugs. There is guaranteed to be no rotation or twisting of the straps. This makes the ride feel much more direct. Another advantage is that you can still use the straps as Single to open up further possibilities (which we only recommend to a limited extent).
Cover concave - The deck concave comes from the race development. They lower the center of gravity and the pressure point of the rig, which provides more control. The White Tiger deck concave is equipped with a soft fade-out so that your turns are not hindered and you also feel comfortable when bobbing.
Foil technology - The nose of the White Tiger is inspired by the Foil Race development. While it is "completely normal" in the lower section and has a harmonious curve at the bow, there is a special feature on deck. It flattens out slightly towards the nose and remains straight. In strong winds, this improves the aerodynamics (as with the most modern foil boards) and the typical "overpowered tailwalking" takes place later - because the airstream helps to stabilize the nose.
Heel stringer - A standard high-end Future Fly Race feature are the heel stringers. This reinforcement in the stance area prevents the deck from becoming soft and significantly increases the durability of the boards.
Foil box - The two large boards are equipped with a foil box. The boards are 100% developed for the fin, so they are only suitable for first attempts at foiling. If you still want to try flying, there is of course nothing to stop you.
Service - The WindForce service is also a matter of course for White Tiger customers. If our videos have not yet explained everything, we will be happy to help you at any time. This also includes topics such as "my board is not flying the way I want it to". If you have any questions, simply send us an e-mail to willkommen@windlounge.de
Construction
Carbon - Robust carbon layers along the rails - from the Baseplate to the tail - ensure maximum impact resistance, increased rigidity and a particularly long service life. The nose is additionally reinforced with Carbon to provide better protection against impacts.
Targeted reinforcements - High-quality Italian Carbon is used around the high-stress areas such as the Baseplate, fin box and foot straps. This keeps the board light, but at the same time very durable and direct in its handling. Integrated PVC stringers under the footstraps provide additional rigidity and lasting stability.
High-quality sandwich construction - Lightweight and robust: The deck and underside are made of 3 mm Swiss Airex PVC combined with 6oz fiberglass. In the fin box area, a double sandwich structure made of Airex, fiberglass, and carbon is used for maximum strength in the particularly stressed zones.
Additional functions - An original Goretex automatic valve reliably regulates the internal pressure - without any manual intervention. No bleed screw is required. (IMPORTANT! DO NOT TAMPER WITH)
Recommended fins
The boards were tested with fins from Future Fly, Z-Fins, Carpenter, Select and Cashy.
The matching freerace fin is the FutureFly Shprizzz fin.
115 L + 38 cm / 125 L + 42 cm / 137 L + 44 cm
These fins make railing particularly easy and do not require enormous effort to have fun. Built on the basis of a Z-fin and adapted for more comfort, this fin is a recommendation for all those who love freeracing.
If you want even more performance, there is no getting around a custom slalom fin. Simply contact us for an individual fin consultation.
Of course, the boards also ride with fins from other brands. However, if in doubt, we recommend contacting us to discuss your fin choice and its compatibility with the board. The right fin can make a big difference to performance and is absolutely essential.

Recommended sails
The White Tiger was developed for freerace and slalom sailing. As it is particularly important to us that our customers have the best possible experience on the water, we are more specific in our recommendations. If you are unsure, just ask us at any time, our team is here to help!
If the sails are within the size range specified below and are of the freerace or slalom type, all brands will work. It is important to tune the rig itself correctly and to match the trim to the board.
Freeride sails are just as easy to ride, although there can of course be performance compromises here. The differences between the brands of freeride sails are very large - while some brands "only" pay attention to handling, other brands offer quite a bit of performance.
We do not recommend wave sails. The pressure point stability and propulsion you need for fast riding is often not sufficient.
Just because we don't recommend something doesn't mean that it will never work. For example, if you put your 5.6 Wave sail on the 115, you will definitely have fun.
