Hmmm.

We are lucky to still be in, remember this is the Olympics that kiting was to be IN and windsurfing dumped. Until it was shown the vote was corrupt as blazes, backed with Branson's money and committee members not knowing a vote to include kiting was a vote to throw OUT windsurfing. Anyway, history.


In about 1997 -1999 Formula was developed so as to replace boring course racing with hopefully fast planing windsurfing that is more exciting.
Olympics mob rejected it as they want to be able to run it in zero to 1kn as many locations don't have wind.

Now they have included surfing! To attract the interest of young'uns apparently
Well hang on....... London, Beijing much good for surfing were they?
How can they say no to planing windsurfing (needing a mere 10kn) based on the fact some olympic venues don't have wind................ and then include surfing which plainly is also very dependent upon conditions?

Lets get planing windsurfing back so we can keep it in and keep the young'uns interested. And this seems to be a chance to fight again for a fast class with box rules not one design.

Thoughts?
