I like a true thruster in float and ride conditions on the right board. but if you're wanting to sail powered up and planing around they're pretty funky feeling when you're not riding a wave.

The general starting point guidelines for 3 fin windsurfing toe in is 2 degree for symmetrical side fins and 3 degrees for asym side fins. Check if your fin boxes are toe'd before looking for fins.

What does one design racing have to do with wavesailing?


They are surprisingly similar disciplines. I only wavesail as far as recreational windsporting goes. But I do our local weekly one design fleet race and travel to our regattas around California and the gorge and do quite well. Wavesailing is all about dealing with gusty, holey wind, quick tacks and pivot gybes. Awkward balance situations. All that transfers directly into one design racing.

And I agree with Chris on the weight stuff. I've got regular weight wave boards and extra heavy wave boards and I don't notice any difference on the water.

And my LT is third hand kit, dinged up and has some water in it. I stlll won Nats on it. Doesn't seem to matter too much.

I'm looking forward to following the Fiji event. I hope it goes off again and Jaeger and Camille compete to see if they can give Baptiste a run for it. Baptiste was on such a high level last time.
