Ben great video Please do the interview with his FOIL Board designs! …always loved Werners boards, best combination of performance and fun to ride
@rcggijzen Күн бұрын
So, the main result of all the R&D work on the new slalom board is ..... less paint?!? And people still buy it? Amazing. I find it hard to believe irregular small details, like in the jagged cutouts at the bottom, or the zig-zag trailing edge of certain sails, or optimal. In flow dynamics, it doesn't make sense that something like that is t he best overall solution.

excellent walk through. I like Werners comments where ll brands use pretty much the same scoop rocker line

another great board designer interview Ben. You ask the questions that we all want to know, whether the designer is willing to answer directly is another question. Your work on this channel is outstanding, we are lucky to have you.

Oxygen 6.8 is my all time favorite sail, wrecked my old but bought a new one for next season, works great with a Gunsails rdm mast. I also had a Switchblade 7.8 that I sold (did not work with the reptile mast) and have a bigger oxygen (8.5) that is not my favorite but also wrong mast there (simmer,unifiber) but I bought a new loftsails mast to try this season. At last I have a Pure Lip that not is tested yet.

Werner Gniegler, what a hero! My 2016 JP AllRide II 106 liter is the most versatile board I’ve ever tried. Always controlled high speed in choppy conditions and it gybes so nicely. Paired with Maui Ultra Fins X-Weed: 👌🏼

Those descriptions of the changes/development of the Slalom boards in Windsurfing were excellent and precise. Having been a Windsurfer for almost 37 × years who'd also operated my own Windsurfing school I can see how much of an improvement and update of the slightest type can be of major benefit to the use of the boards and intensify the users abilities to perform the various actions.

This guy could be here in 50 years time still talking about "fine tuning" ..... It's been going on for so long now there is NOTHING new under the sun. Ben is right. Wide, thick, short = early planing. They took it to extremes and are working their way back to "normal" boards again. UNTIL somebody decides that Wide, Thick and Short is THE THING again. There are many older bards out there that are just as good and faster than the current production boards. Every year production has to change a colour or something just for marketing purposes so they can persuade people it's "new". LOL. But people fall for it, especially the young guns.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. As he said, the smallest changes make for big differences. Balancing all of those parameters into an effective whole is an art. The boards I've seen in the last year or two seem to be more refined than ever. Changes in sails play a large part in board design so as sails keep improving boards have to keep up to get the max out of them. Hype is certainly a drag but when the gear lives up to claims it isn't hype, it's awesome.

@@windfoil1000 Sails are the same. They developed cambers, and then double sided very effective sails, but as far as they are efficient, are they worth it ? Maybe at the world cup level, but they are actually reverting back to no cam or max 3 cam sails for ease of use. It's like owning a Porsche GTS R3. WOW. But can you actually drive it ??? Same with these boards and sails. I use what I feel is best for me / and is often better than new boards and sails. AHD NT98 - Honeycomb Nomex & Carbon, AirInside tech. Same as Patrick boards has licensed out from AirInside. I have a slalom AirInside a Drops Honeycomb Nomex Carbon speed board and I also have an old mistral superlight to have fun on. All these boards are being produced under one or another form now. The Windsurfer LT is the equivalent of the Mistral Superlight only the original superlight is far superior. The other boards: See PatrickBoards. It's like having a quiver of them. I enjoy them. I know that I am NOT world class level but that if I can get them going, I will probably be faster than anything currently for sale, or at least AS fast.

Paint over the black carbon would add weight so keeping it out of the sun would be what you gotta do if you want the lightest possible board, I guess.
