Elite Women

A closed class: the rulebook names the boards it admits, and every one of them is a JetSurf. Anything the rulebook does not list is prohibited, and the list of what a rider may change runs to 6 items. The engine is sealed by the manufacturer on top of that.

Who may enter Elite Women: age, gender and licence

Age: 16 years and over, counted "within the relevant calendar year" as Art. 301.02 puts it.
Gender: The rulebook's own phrase is "female biological gender".
Same weekend: Art. 301 allows one class per racing weekend, plus Electric Challenge, which is the one exception.
Licence: An International licence from the rider's National Authority is compulsory across the championship. Applying for one, through a club, is covered on the how to start MotoSurf racing page.

Where bars in one group overlap, a rider of that age fits more than one band. Every band counts the age reached during the calendar year, and under Art. 301.09 the Motosurf Committee may still move a rider to another class.

How we know: Each bar is a class record's age band and rider, from the 2026 MotoSurf Rulebook, Art. 301.01 to 301.08.

Which boards the rulebook names for Elite Women

The category is closed from a manufacturer perspective, the only accepted board specifications are JetSurf Race DFI 2021 and newer JetSurf DFI models.
Art. 301.02

JetSurf Race DFI 2021
JetSurf Race DFI 2022
JetSurf Race DFI 2023
JetSurf Race DFI 2024
JetSurf Race DFI SL 2025

The rulebook disagrees with itself about this list. Art. 301.02 says "JetSurf Race DFI 2021 and newer JetSurf DFI models", which is open ended. Art. 503.01 d) says "Only the Jetsurf Race and Jetsurf Race DFI", naming no years, and Art. 503.02 b) then requires the engine of one of five named years, from the Race DFI 2021 to the Race DFI SL 2025. The articles disagree on whether the non DFI Jetsurf Race is admitted at all, and on whether the list ends at 2025. Both readings are printed here and neither is treated as settled, because picking one would invent a rule.

Which of those boards are on the boards page

Of the 5 entries above, these match a model on the boards page, which names models without years:

JetSurf Race DFI SL, type JR-H1, leaving the factory on FCS II Performer Black Medium - Side fin (R06Z083) and FCS II Connect GF 7" - Center fin (R06Z082).

Technical limits, Article 503

This article covers Elite Women and Masters Women.

Power: Art. 503 states no displacement. Like the other sealed classes it defines the engine by naming eligible model years and deferring to the manufacturer's Appendix 3, then seals it.
Board length: 200 cm maximum
Board width: No width limit stated.
Mass: 30 kg maximum, without a fuel tank
Main fin: 230 mm maximum height, 340 mm maximum length

Art. 503.02 b) holds the engine to the UIM homologation form printed as an appendix; its figures and tolerances are on the JetSurf engine homologation page.

Everything a rider may change (6)

This is the complete list, and the permission model is closed: anything the rulebook does not allow is prohibited.

Pads and straps
Throttle controller length
Shut-off key protector installation on the throttle controller
Main fin and side fins
Graphic design
Ball mounting in the exhaust can be removed

Limits and requirements, with no list

Art. 501 and 505: each article states limits a board must stay inside and requirements it must meet.

A change that keeps every limit and requirement

goes through
- Meets the article
A change past a limit, or breaking a requirement

stops
- Does not meet the article

A closed list of changes

Art. 502, 503 and 504: each article lists 6 or 7 changes a rider may make, and carries the clause at Art. 502.02 a), 503.02 a) and 504.02 a).

A change the list or another section allows

goes through
- Allowed
A change no section of the rulebook allows

stops
- Prohibited

Elite Women has a closed list of changes. Art. 503.02 a) reads "Features not allowed by sections of this rulebook are prohibited." A section outside the list above can still allow a change. Art. 503 also caps the board's length and mass, so the board is measured as well.

How we know: The 2026 MotoSurf Rulebook, read article by article: Art. 502.01 a), 503.01 d) and 504.01 d) hold each list class's board to its standard specification and point it to its list of allowed modifications, the clause sits under each list article's engine requirements, Art. 501 and 505 hold the limits and requirements, and each article's heading names the classes it covers.

Fin rules for Elite Women

The allowed side fins for the Elite Women and Masters Women categories are all the FCS fins compatible with provided adjustors. No other fins will be accepted. Only officially certified FCS fins are allowed.
Art. 503.05 d)

An asymmetry worth knowing before buying. Art. 503.05 d) refers to FCS fins "compatible with provided adjustors", but the allowed modifications list at Art. 503.07 does not include fin adjusters, where the Stock Men list at Art. 502.06 does. The rulebook is not consistent about whether a woman may change her adjusters.

What the rulebook publishes on fin geometry is on the MotoSurf fin rules page.

Safety gear for Elite Women in the safety articles (5)

Helmet, CE homologated Art. 507.02 a)
Life jacket Art. 507.01 c) and 507.02 c)
Neck brace Art. 507.01 d) and 507.02 d)
Leash Art. 507.01 e) and 507.02 e)
Shin protectors Art. 507.02 f)

What each item must meet, and the kit required elsewhere, such as the environmental mat, is on the MotoSurf racing gear page.

The propulsion kit draw

For the top five riders in this class, the fuel tank, ignition control unit, sealed engine and exhaust are supplied rather than owned. Kits are drawn from a drum, fitted under supervision, and returned and sealed into boxes at the end of the weekend. No mechanic may alter a supplied kit or connect diagnostics to it. For those riders those four items sit outside the private market entirely, and the hull, fins, fin adjusters, pads, straps and throttle controller do not.

Race format: laps in Elite Women

Under Art. 307, Elite Women heats run 7 laps, 3 long, and the final, printed as F1, runs 9 laps, 3 long. The lap chart prints one line for Elite Women / Masters Women, so Masters Women rides the same laps. Race Direction may change the long laps if riders are told at the briefing or by bulletin, so these are a starting point, not a schedule.

The course, the starts and how points are scored are on the MotoSurf race format page.

Title holders named in the rulebooks

Eliška Matoušková, Czechia, printed on the 2025 and 2026 covers as champion of the Women Class.

Every season's champions, under the promoter's own class names, are on the MotoSurf champions page.

What changed since the 2025 edition

Renamed from Women. The 2025 age table set the minimum at 15, and 2026 sets it at 16.

Read from 2026 MotoSurf Rulebook. Nothing on this page is a substitute for the published document at scrutineering.

Corrected on this page: 10 September 2026: the 106 and 212 ccm figures once shown here belong to Art. 501, not to the women's classes.
