Great to hear it John, I was out on the Banana River this afternoon. Wind was moderate (10-15) and I practiced turning techniques. It was rather blustery with...

For about a month now, we've seen lots of El Nino light winds. Warm temps have been nice. Swells have been too. The Kona has allowed me to enjoy day after...
Hi, It was very nice week indeed. Glad you had fun in the waves. I took the flat water option and sailed several times using 11.0 and 9.8 @ Calema and in some...

Windsurfing's universal thrill is going fast. We may not be able to jibe or tack well, but getting on a plane is what keeps us coming back for more. We all...
The only new board I have ridden is the new F2 Formula. It is pretty amazing in comparison to last years' version. It planes faster, carries through the...
Thank you for the post on the F2. Let's have a discussion about where board design could go in the future to get faster. Let's leave aside formula designs for...
As to a discussion about weird ideas that would make a board go faster, how weird do you want to get? We could speculate endlessly, but for what purpose? What...
I would certainly second the opinion that the rider is a huge factor in speed. The discussion could go in endless directions really. Are we really talking...
OK here's a dumb newbie question....... What effect would waxing the bottom of the board have? Would the fact that wax repels water make it faster? Would it...
