We currently in the process of switching over to the new Boardseeker site, please bear with us it will be ready soon!
Boardseeker Board & Sail Graphics Poll
We gave you the power and you used it with wild abandon! Thanks to the many, many readers who took the time to tell us whether the major brands sail & board graphics were super cool or just plain terrible!
So without further ado we have the winners:
BOARD GRAPHICS
The Winner: Angulo Boards
Champions for the second year running, Angulo Boards may not compete with the big boys in terms of number of boards sold per year, but they are killing it in the graphics department.
2nd: RRD
Roberto Ricci Designs are the ‘Versace’ of the windsurfing world; unique, flamboyant and not always to everyone’s tastes. Except here, where you guys love 'em!
3rd: Starboard
But then you place Starboard’s completely different style of graphic in third. Lots of wood effect with a splash of colour. Basically you lot have an eclectic taste in graphic design.
SAIL GRAPHICS
The Winner: Hot Sails Maui
The surprise winner: you guys obviously think you can design graphics better than the brands as Hot Sails allow you to do just that with their Superfreak range. Take note windsurfing industry!
2nd: Neil Pryde
We said this was the sail to beat and we were nearly right! Plain yet striking, how do those boys do it?
3rd: North Sails
Folk still dig the whole iPod theme and with a splash more colour thrown for '08, North remains as popular as ever.
