Is this the fastest Board Trim??
What is the fastest board trim, is it trimming like pic below, or more flat than A2 below, or does it depend on board speed and water state??

"As they say in France, never 2 without 3. In fact, following the record attempts of 20 / 21 November 2007, then January 3rd 2008, the runners for the Masters of Speed have been called up for the 5th and 6th March for the 3rd official attempt of the season on the legendary speed canal at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, south of France… And all there with the same aim in mind, beating the 50 knot mark ! An event you can follow live here on Windsurfjournal.com !!!
After the often difficult sessions in previous years when there was simply a lack of wind, this winter’s season of Masters of Speed record attempts on the speed canal at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is a real bonus with the riders now called up for a 3rd session, this coming Wednesday and Thursday, 5th and 6th March !
And there’s a significant difference to this latest session, the predominantly south-easterly of the last two sessions has been replaced this time by the celebrated Mistral, a wind from the north, forecast to come in at 40 - 45 knots with surges up to 50 knots, so everyone’s hoping this can be the session that finally sees the holy grail 50 knot mark beaten…
Absent from the two previous sessions because of a planned trip to Australia, Karin Jaggi and Patrik Diethelm will be present for this third running, along with Finian Maynard, current record holder, for sure determined to hang on to his record but also to improve his mark…
And freshly flown in from Florida where he’s been competing in the Calema Midwinters, Antoine Albeau will also be "on the run" in his role as the main challenger to Maynard… Also new on the run, Cyril Moussilmani will be hoping to beat the production board record of 44.71 knots currently held by Diethelm… And, as they were during the last session in January, Cedric Bordes and David Garrel will be worth keeping a close eye on…
While the forecast for the 5th looks the most promising, the organisers have also planned to use the 6th when the riders could get on the water as early as 6.30am, if the conditions are worth getting up for !!!
As a major media partner to the event, Windsurfjournal.com will be bringing you live coverage of these two days of top class speed racing which, cross your fingers, could mark a new era for windsurfing… Even more than ever, stay online !!! "
