Starboard Forums - View Single Post - Slalom versus long-distance

wouterd · 25th March 2007, 03:50 AM

On the French WindSurfJournal.com website, Antoine Albeau presents his 'toys', and inthere, he groups his iSonic slalom boards in two categories:

-> iSonic 133, 111 and 97 for PWA slalom
-> iSonic 122, 101 and 84 for the (mainly national French) long distance circuit

Is there any specific technical difference in the boardshapes that would make one or the other better for (short) figure-8 slalom versus long-distance races?
