The MB Albatross board will wing with you wherever you want to go. Tested and tweaked by Wing surfing legend Balz Muller the Albatros really is at the forefront of design. It has some tech feature that combine to make a board that is like no other on the market. It’s specifically aimed to make your winging as easy as possible, working with you to glide through the water and push your riding to new limits.

The 98ltr MB Albatros really is the go to board in the range. Enough volume to be ‘easy’ but small enough to be seriously agile. This board is the real do it all model. Whether it is waves, freestyle or cruising the 98ltr MB is the board for everything. The key is in the design, the below features combine to make this board one of the best on the market. Hundreds of hours of intense, dedicated R&D has ensured that you will have the best time possible on the water with MB-Boards.

The 118ltr MB Albatros is the perfect freeride board for cruising, or for the havier rider looking for a board that will remain agile and responsive. With the MB outline the 118 is compact with the volume exactly where you want it. The Negative outline lets the board release and the bevel rails ensure you pop straight back up in the event of a touch down. This board is all about flying, and you’ll be sky high at the end of the session!
Technology

Negative Outline

The revolutionary outline supports the mb-board in many ways. The wide nose and tail give you the important stability to get started even in choppy water. The wide tail allows you to step into the back strap before you start and stays nicely balanced in the water. Once you start accelerating, the board keeps going in a very straight line without going left or right – regardless of whether you use a wing, a paddle or just the power of a wave. In light wind conditions the negative outline enables you to foil much earlier – the pumping is so easy. Once you fly on the foil and your nose drops down or touches a chop – the wide nose goes through it very smoothly and pops you back up on the foil immediately. With this revolutionary shape the boards can be built much shorter and more compact without losing the advantages of a longer outline. The bigger surface and the concave deck give you all the control you need. Once you fly on your foil you will feel the difference. Just like dancing on the water.
