RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
I think the answer is no or that it doesn't live up to it's claims, hence the silence. I hope I'm wrong but if it did work, then I think we would be hearing more about it.

RE: increase sales and promote sport

RE: Military Coupe in Thailand
I think Svein is out of the Country attending Surf expo in the US and I bet he won't be able to get back in for a while. I cant imaging that its good for windsurfing since 90% of WS boards are made...

RE: Formula Windsurfing Worlds, Arnon and Gonzalo
It's still bad sportsmanship to leave early and bad mouth the Race Committee. It does sound like some questionable calls were made, but it certainly appears that many of the top guys where able to...

RE: Starboard Appollo/Formula Windsurfing
Ken,

They are using the Extender to have a better extension system. At least they are innovating and trying to build a better system. Innovation in windsurfing seems rare these days and companies like...

RE: Apollo Vs F161
FW rules wind minimum is 8 knots not 6, however the best sailors can plane in 6. So the question is can the Steve Allen's of the world get this board to plane in 4 knots?
