The Test Quiver

There are so many variables in windsurfing that we feel it is important when testing to minimise these variables as much as possible. When testing boards, we have used identical test rigs to ensure that the rig is playing no part in any differences established.

We chose to use Simmer Icon sails in sizes 4.7, 5.0, 5.3 and 5.6. Combined with Simmer RDM masts, these sails were excellent. They impressed us immensely with their low-end power, but also at the top end of the wind range where they remained controlled and useable even when completely overpowered. We have not encountered a wave sail with such great all-round appeal before. – we really were impressed!
