Och det verkar som om GUN dragit tillbaka sin ansökan om att få den godkänd enlit klassreglerna. DVS inget bra köp i år iallafall.

AHD släpper en Free Diamond 87 i april!

Det där med lättkontrollerad på choppigt vatten är jag inte beredd att hålla med om. Kolla bara testen i tyska surf. Inte många vågisar som får bra betyg i detta. Bottenkurvan är ju optimerad för att ligga på kant nedför en clean våg inte choppigt oroligt vatten.
Jag skulle helt klart välja en freestylewave i den volymklassen men det finns som sagt undantag från detta.

Vad väger du och vilka segelstorlekar ska du köra? Testa samma fråga på AHDs forum http://www.a-h-d.com

Nämn en Formulabräda som väger mindre än 8,5 kg inkl 70 cm fena och blöta stroppar.
-
Beror på vilken vågbräda du väljer. En Naish Quest t ex är väldigt rak i bottenkurva vilket gör den snabbare på plattvatten. man kan helt enkelt inte dra alla vågbrädor över en kam. Shapen avgör!

Varför inte packa den när den ligger på taket?

Från Starboards forum:
Hi Vince,
Some people have good luck with the deviator, others don’t.
I’m a mechanical engineering tech/tool and die maker by trade, so I
look at the forces involved. The things I learned about ”levers” in
high school physical science tell me that I want nothing whatsoever to
do with the deviator. A lever arm approx.6-7 cm long on one side of the fulcrum
and over 550 cm on the other side, beyond that fulcrum can develop some really
scary (to me anyway) forces.
That’s very nearly 100:1 leverage. So every bit of force developed ”over”
the deviator’s Roller can be essentially ”multiplied by a factor of 100”
on the ”short” side between the roller and your mast base.
Of course the deviator is ”supposed” to deflect the mast off to the side ”a
little”. But is ”a little” enough to miss the wide nose of a Formula board?
Maybe, maybe not.
Does it always deflect before any force develops on the short arm? Maybe,
maybe not.
The Jez’z or Jeb’s knob works in a similar fashion, without the roller.
But my real fear, is getting my hand, or a finger, perhaps a toe, or any
part of my body under the deviator as all that force develops.
Yes, I know it’s on the other side of the mast from where I’m supposed to
be, but what I’ve learned about windsurfing, in the 20 or so years I’ve been
sailing is that where I may end up, when the conditions change, the chop gets
up, or a sudden gust hits, that I can’t find a way to control, has nothing at
all to do with what’s supposed to be. The term ”rag doll” is very applicable
here, and when placed in ”rag doll” mode, for whatever the reason, I cannot
control where I’ll end up. I’m just not taking the chance to lose an appendage
or limb when that happens.
I can get my board fixed, it only hurts my wallet a little.
Having spent months working with a fellow who lost some toes in an indistrial
accident, and another fellow who lost his foot, then his leg, from a motorcyle
accident, I’m just going to have to say I’m a wimp.
Windsurfing is not particularly dangerous, but there are some forces involved
which are far beyond our control. Adding a serious ”pinch point” makes no
sense to me.
Well, you obviously have made some determination that the potential for the
deviator to have the mast hit it perfectly and apply several hundred pounds
of force on the mast box or the mast track is very low.
In my discussions with two of the best, and hence busiest board repair people
in the USA, I have come to a different conclusion.
They almost never had to replace a mast box or mast track, before the deviator,
and now they do several a year.The nose pad idea, simply works. Yep, it looks funny I’ll agree, but it’s
totally effective, and costs very little. It can also be easily removed
when you no longer feel you need it.
Last, but not least, the nose pad does not interfere with getting things
lined up for a waterstart. Have your ever tried to turn your board around,
in big chop or swell, with the deviator. Try it, I can almost assure you
that you will head straight back to the beach to do some ”removal”.
Also the deviator tends to chew up the luff sleeve of your sail.
If it’s a neoprene luff sleeve, down at the bottom of the sail, I think
the neoprene actually increases the chance that the deviator will ”stick”
right on center. If you rig the sail higher, to avoid the deviator, then
your compromise the sails performance, and actually increase the chance you
will be ”flung, forward” as this raises the whole sail higher.
Sorry for the rant, but it’s one product that I think is very dangerous,
and I want others to know why.
That’s my opinion, I’m sure there are others./Roger

Hej,
har seglat en del med både DrX 5.7 och volcano 5.9 (nästan samma som Disco). Ska du använda seglet mest på vågis så välj DrX men kör du på freestyle välj Disco. Disco är ett mkt kraftfullt segel och jag tyckte därför att en vågis kändes lite seg med detta segel på, helt enkelt inte tillräckligt mkt bräda för ett så kraftfullt segel. Men Dr X som har bra power men inte lika mkt, känns bättre balanserat på en vågis.
