Article 301.05 · 2026 edition
Masters 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 Masters Women: age, gender and licence
- Age
- 30 years and over, counted "within the relevant calendar year" as Art. 301.05 puts it.
- Gender
- The rulebook's own phrase is "female biological gender".
- Minimum field
- 5 riders. Below that, its riders start in Elite Women instead (Art. 301.05).
- 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 Masters 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. 301.05
- JetSurf Race DFI 2021
- JetSurf Race DFI 2022
- JetSurf Race DFI 2023
- JetSurf Race DFI 2024
- JetSurf Race DFI SL 2025
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
Masters 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 Masters 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 Masters 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.
Race format: laps in Masters Women
Under Art. 307, Masters 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 Elite 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.
What changed since the 2025 edition
New in 2026. The 2025 edition had no Masters Women class.
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.
