Online Windsurfing Magazine Equipment Reviews and Sailor Reviews

Welcome to the MAY equipment reviews section!!

With only a short time until the launch of some the 2006 wave equipment, we take a sneak preview of what the pros were using at the Hawaii Pro this month. It looks like there is some cool stuff in store for 2006!

With 120 competitors at the first International speed event of this year (Port St Louis) it is obvious that speed is back with a bang! Great news then that T1 have followed F2's lead from last year and brought out a production speed board (a Dunkerbeck replica no less)!

Finally, with the Formula season just underway, we have a chance to speak to some of the riders and work out which boards are performing the best.
