The topic of adjustable sails (one sail different sizes) has sparked an, idea, maybe a bad one but an idea none the less.

We always look back at windsurifng gimmicks and concept....so what lies ahead, who can come up with the future for a boom, mast and a sail on a board.

Here is a few that may take some time:
1. Electronic push button Downhaul and outhaul that makes a cool winch motor sound.

2. Little solar powered properllers to get you on the plan in marginal conditions

3. Dynamic hull control (DHC) - a solid middle "channel" bit of board that is down when you need a bigger planning surface and up when you want less surface area.

4. Retractable winds that come out once you are going fast enough to lift you just above the water making use of the MIG effect (I don't know much about it of if that is the right spelling?)

5. Lighweight.solid.sail.concept.dot.north.com

6. An oar that you can't let go of to fend off sharks just in case you fall off your board with the propeller going.

Well, these are probably a load of ***t but what does the future hold?

How light can a board get????????
