Hello everyone,
and welcome back to this newsletter with the latest 2026 updates from Turtle Wing Custom Boards.
Starting from tomorrow, 22. June the new website featuring the entire new boards collection will be online.
In the previous newsletter, we introduced all the new 2026 models, but our race boards were still missing.
For the 2026 season, we’ll be presenting two race boards. The first is our STARBUSTER v5, now in its fifth version, updated to meet the latest regulations for World Cup races. This model is already available for pre-order.
The second race board we’re introducing today is something unconventional.
In racing, apparent wind plays a crucial role, as it creates drag—especially in course racing during upwind and downwind legs. After extensive testing and multiple prototypes, and thanks to the collaboration with Jeremiah McDonalds, we focused on minimizing drag—particularly on the upwind side—by giving the board a higher penetration coefficient.
Starting today, our new STARBUSTER AERO is officially available on the market!
Check out the explainer video below.
For now, it’s only available in sizes 80, 90, and 100 liters, and can be pre-ordered now for September delivery.
The STARBUSTER AERO will change the way you race.
This board has no speed limits — the only limit is the rider.
Have a nice Summer
