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.
