Shipping Info
 


 
The Rockets are a constantly developed board. We work on the shapes year round to be sure that when we come up with a new design, it is significantly better than what we currently have. This year the 125 and 145 have been completely re-worked to deliver the magic carpet ride that you have come to expect from one of the greatest freeride boards on the market.

Standard Construction: "PERFORMANCE/DURABILITY" The best balance of strength to weight ratio. A combination of Glass with a PVC sandwich make it stronger longer. This construction is our most popular... It gives value and performance that is hard to beat!

Fabien Vollenweider says
The freeride game is a lot of fun for me! When I am designing a new board, I have to use all my knowledge and experience to create a board that goes fast like a Manta, turns like a 3S and is alive and free as the Pocket! When all that comes together, we are ready to introduce a new size; this year the 125 and 145 represent some of my best work yet!

Tabou Test Reports: Windsurfing Magazine
What We Liked: The "magic carpet" offered a stable, invigorating ride for intermediate and advanced testers alike. One tester noted that it "floated over chop" and another left the water shouting "Tabou -- WOOHOO!" Comfortable, accessible speed for any sailor.
Better Than the Fleet at: All-around performance that's accessible for sailors of any skill level.
Best Suits: Get-on-and-go sailors who want a fun and friendly ride that doesn't require tuning and tweaking.
Other Highlights: Ultra-comfy Tabou foot straps, solid molded prepreg fin.


The newly designed 125 and 145 offer more planing and better top end acceleration for 2011. The Rocker has been smoothed out for quicker acceleration. New outlines combined with a small winger on the tail give unmatched top end and life to these new designs. The Rocket 145 has increased it's length for smoother planning while the 125 creates a new shape that has an increased double concave entry in the nose area allowing for a smoother ride. Both of these new weapons come with multiple strap positions to dial in improvers as well as experts. The standard construction is the best compromise for strength to weight performance. Tough and durable, this is a board that will last the test of time.

If you want a great shape with performance and value in mind,  this is your choice!A fast freeride board that is very easy to use. It is tough and dependable while being tons of fun to ride! It handles everything well and loves any condition you can throw at it. Suits all rider types (short board beginners to experts).

Test Report: Windsurf, UK
Rocket 95

Speed, straight-line stability and awesome carving capabilities.

 Combining straight-line composure with exceptional carving ability, the Rocket 95 remains a real test team favourite, being one of the most versatile wave/freeride crossover boards around. Highly recommended.

Test Report:  Windsurf, UK
Rocket 105

Plug and play ease coupled with awesome straight-line performance. With a unique stance, the Rocket 105 is a truly magical freeride thoroughbred, marrying straight-line performance with control, ease and response. It comes very highly recommended for hours of blasting enjoyment on any sea state.

Test Report:  Windsurfing Magazine, US
Rocket 105

What We Liked: "A speed stick on steroids!", "Fun to run", "Smoking fast!" all exact words that came out of the test team's mouths. The Rocket's ready to blast no matter who's at the helm light or heavyweight, intermediate or expert. It didn't disappoint in the jibes, either.
Better Than the Fleet at: Getting our freestyle-crazy expert to want to own a slalom stick!
Best Suits: Any sailor that's looking for a speeding thrill.
Other Highlights: At 13.1 lbs, it's the lightest board in the entire test by over a pound.

Rocket 115
Awesome combination of performance and control. The Rocket 115 provides the performance and range to keep the expert rider captivated, whilst its stunning control and smoothness makes it more than applicable for an aspiring intermediate. With such universal appeal, it comes highly recommended by us.


Test Report:  Boardseeker Magazine
Rocket 125
"Tabou have really hit the nail on the head with this board. For blasting, gybing, early planing and fun, you won't find a better board on the market. Without question, the Rocket 125 is the quickest board onto the plane in the group...what impresses most however, is the ease at which it manages to get going.

It really is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to true 'ease of planing'...The Rocket lives up to its name. It really is a quick board, but in keeping with form so far, it's the ease at which it goes fast that impresses...the group leader for intermediate and beginner carve gybers."
