T293: Two Decades of Windsurfing Revolution
Over the past twenty years, the T293 has revolutionized the world of windsurfing, starting with a simple objective: to create a versatile board capable of taking young people from learning to competition.
The Techno 293 OD is now firmly established in more than 60 countries. With over 10,000 boards ridden around the world, it is the biggest windsurfing fleet on the planet!
A Timeless and Iconic Board
Essential steppingstone for thousands of young athletes around the world, the T293 has not aged a day.
“It’s a design that’s 20 years old and still in the game. And that’s huge. We can see today that the board works incredibly well. If we had to remake it, it wouldn’t be different,” comment Antoine Albeau, multi-time world champion.

The T293 will even be the official support for the sailing event at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar in 2026.
