How about a toeside directional World Speed Record?

Postby SupaEZ » Thu May 31, 2012 5:45 pm

Would interesting to know how fast of a speed can be achieved compared to heelside on TT

I am Supa natural on toeside and fast (without rotating strap :D or sliding hook spreader bar :D )

For a record speed, a narrow / short single fin concave bottom gun would be the ticket

In my windsurfing days i had a "Speed Needle board" 8'6" x 15"wide + deep concave & single fin
In 30 knots on my 5.2 Neil Pryde sail.....once i would "closed the gap"..
Was like hitting the Nitrous Oxide...and all the other "drag racers" ended up in my rearview mirror

...........So how about some toeside directional speed action to mix things up?.....................................

I think we could go even further than that.........................

For the 2016 Olympics......have some races on specially designed directional raceboards......

have all the racers do the race course upwind,broad reaches,upwind again,downwind then......
the last upwind leg to the finish.......

All done "riding toeside" excusively :D ....first one seen riding heelside would be disqualified...

..........Windsurfers could also try to race "behind their sails" on toeside .....
.........but it would take them foooooooorever to complete the course :D

................................... :out: ............... :surf: :sun: .......................................
