A friend of mine wants to have a board made to beat everything around a course.
Anyone have any links to what is the state of the art for upwind racing?
Thanks
Stan

used to sell a Rail-fin kite wave directional design.
I borrowed his idea and installed "Rail-fins" on my Town and Country wave sailboard, converted for kite use. The board works great.
He was also winner in kite surf endurance events using these boards.
I'd like to buy one, except they're not on his site at the moment.
Any1 know what he plans to do with the Rail-fin boards?
thanks..
