2025 Newschool Wave Windsurf Board
A fast, adaptable wave board built to generate drive, attack onshore conditions and adjust its turning style to the wave.
The 2025 Tabou Da Bomb combines the speed and early-planing ability needed to get through shorebreak with the maneuverability required for modern wave riding. Its low-tail-kick rocker maintains drive through less powerful sections, while an asymmetric concave and thin tail rails let riders tighten or open their turns as conditions change. Five Slotboxes provide the freedom to tune the board as a thruster or quad.
Strong planing performance and dependable drive help the Da Bomb carry speed through shorebreak, soft wave sections and less-than-perfect onshore conditions.
The asymmetric concave increases grip and lets riders quickly tighten or extend their turning radius as the wave changes.
A taut rocker with relatively low tail kick provides early planing and acceleration while retaining the freedom needed for carving and aerial maneuvers.
Five lightweight Slotboxes let you use the included K4 thruster fins or build a quad setup that emphasizes drive or a snappier turning response.
The relatively flat tail rocker promotes early planing, quick acceleration and the speed needed to connect wave sections.
Tabou’s asymmetric concave creates additional grip through turns and helps the rider modify the arc quickly in critical sections.
Influenced by Tabou’s larger Da Curve shapes, the refined tail increases agility without sacrificing the Da Bomb’s established planing performance.
Thin rails through the tail make turn initiation controlled and allow the board to change radius without requiring excessive rider input.
Five fin boxes support multiple wave-oriented configurations, including the supplied thruster setup and optional quad arrangements.
Double-density EVA pads and premium footstraps provide grip and control through hard turns, critical wave sections and jump landings.
A lightweight EPS core is paired with PVC foam, fiberglass, wood reinforcement, carbon reinforcement and Carbon Innegra for a performance-focused strength-to-weight balance.
An ultra-light fiberglass shell and non-skid graphic finish help reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining the grip required for wave sailing.

| Size | Best For | On-Water Character |
|---|---|---|
| 77L | Smaller or expert riders in powered wave conditions | Most compact and responsive size, with the lowest swing weight for high-wind riding. |
| 84L | Experienced wave riders wanting an agile all-around size | Balances quick turning with enough speed and support for varied wave conditions. |
| 94L | Medium-to-larger riders or less consistent wind | Additional width and volume improve support without losing the Da Bomb’s wave-oriented character. |
| 104L | Larger riders, lighter wind or onshore wave sessions | More planing support and sail-carrying capability for marginal or inconsistent conditions. |
| 114L | Heavier riders or riders prioritizing maximum wave-board volume | The most supportive board in the range for light wind, soft waves and difficult inside sections. |
Intermediate through expert wave sailors who want fast planing, dependable drive and adaptable turning performance in onshore, cross-onshore and changing wave conditions.
You are learning to plane, use footstraps or waterstart, or primarily sail flat water. A freeride or freewave board will generally provide easier progression and greater directional stability.
Yes. Early planing, acceleration and strong drive make it especially effective in onshore conditions, soft waves and difficult shorebreaks.
Yes. Five Slotboxes support both configurations. A size-specific thruster fin set is included; quad fins are sold separately.
Yes. Each size includes two K4 Incinerator side fins and one size-specific K4 Scorcher center fin.
Yes. The Da Bomb is supplied with premium footstraps and double-density EVA deck pads.
