Anyone else been glad they've had their lid on when things have gone wrong? I usually only wear my Gath helmet when it's really howling or its cold.It was cold so I wore it today 14 degrees and 20-25kt wind .. It's never happened in years of sailboarding but the mast hit me on the head twice today.. Maybe I'm getting senile..

hi all,

is there much difference in the quality of boards at the lower and higher $$ end's of the scale? obviously this is the case with a lot of things. but is $500 or $600 more, going to get a board of significantly better quality? or are you just paying for the name?

in looking at boards i've had one place suggest an 11' NSP (around $1300), while another place has suggested a Naish or Starboard 10' or 10'5" (around $1800). i have no issues spending more if it really is worth it.

cheers
