Tabou 3S Plus 2026
One board, all conditions—early planing speed, confident control in chop, and grip you can trust in turns.
The Tabou 3S+ is built for riders who want a true high-performance freewave board—equally happy blasting across flatwater, carving through waves, or sending jumps. For 2026, Tabou refined the rocker, bottom contours, tail outline, and rail shaping to make the board plane earlier, feel smoother over chop, and hold tighter lines through curves—while keeping the quick, responsive feel that defines the 3S+.

Description
Earlier Planing, Easier Speed
A lower rocker in the front is tuned for quick release and earlier planing, so you build speed fast when the wind isn’t fully “on.”
More Maneuverable Tail Feel
A more pronounced kick tail improves turning response and helps the board stay lively in transitions and tighter sections.
Smoother in Chop
The refined bottom shape blends a deep V nose into a double concave tail for a smoother ride over chop and better control at speed.
Speed + Surf Control
A narrower tail outline boosts top speed, sharpens surf performance, and increases confidence when you push harder through aggressive maneuvers.
Note: A 76L size appears in the official tech specs with several values listed as TBA (see table below).
3S+ Technical Features
New Lower Rocker & Kick Tail
Lower nose rocker for earlier planing and effortless speed, paired with a more pronounced tail kick for improved turning and maneuverability.
Refined Bottom Shape
Deep V in the nose flowing into a double concave tail for smoother chop handling, strong grip in curves, and precise all-conditions control.
Narrower Tail Outline
Reduced tail width for better surf feel, higher top speed, and improved control when driving hard through turns or committing to maneuvers.
Optimized Volume Distribution
More volume in the tail improves low-end stability and planing support, adding balance and versatility across changing wind and water states.
Enhanced Rail Design
Sharpened rails increase grip in turns and help you maintain drive and control when carving with speed.
Premium Fin Setup
The versatile 3S+ shape paired with an MFC TF thruster setup helps unlock the board’s full freewave performance potential.
