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 NeilPryde Hellcat sails in 6.2m and 7.7m sizes. Combined with X9 components, these rigs were outstanding and had our test boards planing in the lightest or breezes and still sailable when people were freesailing on 4.5m’s!

We also chose a set of the excellent MFC Liquid Pro freeride fins (from 36cm to 44cm), so that we could determine how different sizes and shapes of fin may affect each boards performance.
