Bump & Jump Legend • High-Wind Blasting • Chop & Flat Water
Tabou 3S Classic 2026
Modern updates to a decades-long icon—more punch in light wind, quicker acceleration, and the same easy, confidence-building feel.
The 3S Classic 2026 carries forward the 3S legacy with targeted refinements that make it even better as a dedicated bump & jump board. A rocker line without tail kick, a shorter outline (with the same width), and an updated volume distribution help increase power in lighter wind, boost acceleration, and keep the board lively and responsive—without sacrificing the trademark 3S control and maneuverability. In strong wind and choppy water, the 3S feels right at home, offering extra support for slightly more powerful sails and a stable platform for high-wind blasting and jumping.
- Sizes: 97 / 107 / 117

Description
Legacy Feel, Modernized
The 3S remains an all-rounder built for real sessions—easy to ride, fast to progress on, and tuned for the bump & jump world where control matters as much as speed.
More Power in Light Wind
The refreshed outline and volume placement maximize usable power when the wind is borderline—helping you plane earlier and build speed with less effort.
Acceleration + Responsiveness
A rocker line without tail kick and a shorter outline (while keeping width) are aimed at faster acceleration and a more reactive feel, while preserving the board’s natural maneuverability.
Built for Windy, Choppy Water
Dedicated to the bump & jump program, the 3S is designed for strong wind and chop—supporting more powerful sails and giving you a confident platform for blasting and jumping in flat water and rougher conditions.
3S Classic Technical Features
Compact Design
A more compact outline with updated volume distribution improves performance and boosts power/acceleration, while keeping the 3S agile and carvy.
Rocker Without Tail Kick
The updated rocker line is designed to maximize acceleration and top-end speed potential without giving up control or maneuverability.
Comfort & Adaptability
Grippy EVA deck pads plus multiple footstrap positions make it easy to tune stance and setup for different physiques, styles, and conditions.
Versatile Hull Shape
A balanced, refined hull delivers the mix bump & jump riders want: control in chop, easy carving, and efficient planing performance.
Premium Fin Setup
The updated shape paired with the newly introduced MFC HF Ride fin is designed to unlock the 3S’ full performance range.
Size Range That Covers “Real Wind”
Three sizes (97 / 107 / 117) cover a wide spread of sailors and sail choices—from powered bump & jump days to lighter-wind freeride sessions with extra glide.
