“Stunning new graphics”
VERSO R&D
TEAM WINDWISE
All part of the VERSO DNA
WINDWISE DNA
Progressive Freeride
As part of the VERSO R&D process we gathered vital data and real time feedback from our incredible Windwise clients at all our different coaching locations. This meant we sailed the board in the widest range of conditions, with real recreational Freeriders who were all going through the key stages of the sport.
“The Verso has that rare ability to help maintain stability and speed during the foot change and rig rotation – massively increasing gybing exit consistency and speed
VERSO CRITERIA
The VERSO was really built for YOU and it has all that WINDWISE stands for in its DNA.
“Quality, super easy to use, dedicated to continued progression and guaranteed to increase your success and enjoyment on the water. Plus it looks gorgeous in the 2026 graphics.”
We tried to target and glean crucial feedback from everyone to ensure the following;
-
Simplified footstrap positioning for all levels
-
Effortless linear early planing and acceleration
-
Smooth stable control and ease over chop
-
Specifically designed to make gybing easier for all levels
-
Stability, grip and predictability to massively increasing gybing exit consistency and speed
Thank you to everyone who tested the VERSO and gave their feedback to help bring this board to life!

WHO'S IT FOR
Designed For You
The Verso is designed to cover those who are new to short board windsurfing right through to more experienced windsurfers looking for an easy and rewarding board to sail. So whether it’s first time footstraps, swift planing or mastering every aspect of gybing, the Verso range has a board volume to suit your level.
Quiver Planing
Verso 138/154L = First time short board and early planing board.
Verso 122L = Progressive intermediate to advanced intermediate.

Each size planes early and is more stable compared to other boards of similar sizes. Plus the Verso is designed to be more forgiving, carry a wide range of sails and have a super supportive feel for blasting and gybing.

PIJORN PERFECTION
All of these goals and findings were blended into the design and VERSO philosophy. So a massive thanks has to go to Albert Pijoan and his incredibly gifted board shaping skills. He collated all the SV Team Verso testing findings, added in the WINDWISE data gathering and produced a board that we feel has the best possible recreational rider relevance and performance characteristics.
“It’s all very well having ‘pro’s testing with new gear, but I’ve always believed and wanted to make a board that was specifically designed to help real Freeride windsurfers in the real world. Genuinely collate their valued input and learning experiences into a board that truly helps YOU improve and get more out of every precious session – After over 40 years of windsurfing experience and being part of bringing this project together, I’m delighted to say the VERSO is that board” Simon Bornhoft
