Trying to measure relative board speed with GPS is doomed to fail. Every run tends to be different, the wind strength can vary, the wind direction can vary, the chop changes, there may be great gusts in one run, lacking in another. The only way to objectively test speed is side-by-side comparison. Two sailors (similar weight, similar skills) next to each other, register relative results. Thenby pgvirtual - ASK A CLONE
Bucko, You must start voting with your wallet! You can get quality sails from Gun Sails for 300 - 350 £, and order Angulo boards from Gun Sails in Germany for 1100 Euro. Or then you order a Moo custom. When enough people vote with their wallet it becomes obvious to the brands that they have to change their RRP policy. If you just moan, and then still pay RRP then nothing will change! Atby pgvirtual - GENERAL DISCUSSION
Get yourself a used freestyle board in good shape, you will trash it anyhow... When you have a basic set of freestyle skills it is time to get a new hot board.by pgvirtual - GENERAL DISCUSSION
I read in one of your topics today that the Boardseeker team now is responsible for the Boards Magazine testing. PLEASE, PLEASE, keep it the boardseeker way and write honest opinions about the tested equipment. And keep telling us how products compare with each other. It would make me weep if you bowed to commercial pressure and wrote just what the brands asked from you, without any rankinby pgvirtual - BOARDSEEKER MAGAZINE
Reading the advice in this topic one would get the impression that the original question came from a wavehead looking for a new quiver, rather than someone who is pretty much an advanced beginner or low intermediate... The sails that would fit with your board are most certainly relativly big, I would even say that the smallest sail for a slighlty more experienced sailor would be 6.5, and the lby pgvirtual - GENERAL DISCUSSION
Agree that Simmer works well with Powerex, in addition to the Simmer masts. They don't seem very mast specific to me. But I do not think that there is any relevance at all to mast fit with regards to "the masts are made in the same factory". It would be to say that each mast manufacturer is only able to produce masts with one specification, with a single bend curve. I don't think thaby pgvirtual - GENERAL DISCUSSION
And now Simmer has launched their new VMAX sail that seems to fall into the same, or at least similar, category. Looks more and more like a trend!by pgvirtual - ASK A CLONE
In the test department it would be VERY interesting to see a test that would cover the new kind of power-sails that are starting to become available. Maybe it even is a trend? I refer to the new Severne Mojo and the slightly older concept of Sailworks Hucker. Is this type of sail useful, and for whom? And how do they compare to traditional sails half a square meter bigger (Sailworks claims theby pgvirtual - ASK A CLONE
At about the same weight I am using an Exocet Cross 106 that works like a dream. Just use a smaller fin than the original 32 and you can push the front foot in turns as much as you like. And yes, it does turn on the back foot as well. Reasonably early planing and I have done over 30 knots on it...by pgvirtual - GENERAL DISCUSSION
