The Beginning of the Exocet Story
How a passion for windsurf engineering became a 40-year legacy of board innovation.
The Concept

The Neon is shaped to close the performance gap between inflatable and hardboard — removing the barriers of storage and transport while delivering genuine freeride sailing capability.

A twinzer fin setup and pintail outline promote early planing — and the shallow fin configuration means the Neon works even in shallower waters where other setups can't go.

With the centre of gravity at the front footstrap inserts, the Neon sits in a natural pre-planing stance — no foot repositioning needed at the transition to planing.
See It. Ride It. Feel It.
Design DNA
Fusion Composite Dropstitch construction inflates to 20 psi — delivering more stiffness and a more responsive feel underfoot compared to single layer construction, with less drag in the water.
