The new 2026 Goya and Quatro boards are coming soon. Alberto Lovison, owner of Detour, a windsurf historic shop in Peschiera del Garda, helps us understand the peculiarities of the new models.

Windsurfing: New Goya and Quatro boards (2026), by A. Lovison

The new models are:

• Goya One 13
• Goya Custom Thruster 5
• Goya Custom Quad 9
• Quatro Polakow

Ever-increasing focus on construction

It's precisely the cultural heritage of Quatro's custom production that drives an unwavering dedication to improving the quality of its production.

Lalo Gya: "Keith, Mateo, and I go to Cobra (Thailand) every six weeks!"

The results are clear: production boards that achieve the performance of the best custom builds while maintaining the quality standards required to be market leaders.
