As I've written in
previous post, "
...in these context, in air or in water, an HIGHER Aspect Ratio has pratical effect of increasing LIFT (above all when angle of attack increases)..."
And when a windsurfing board runs on water it always (and inevitably) assumes a certain Angle of Attack for board design (scoop line).
