Racing windsurf board
TACTIK
AHD
Very technical sailboards have already existed 20 years ago, and they were shining in light air.
Since then the knowledge of fast windsurfing shapes has evolved a lot. Still, only the flattish planing boards benefited.
Today all boards offered to the market are pure planing boards, even if a few of them provide some glide in the non-planing 0-10 knots conditions.
Our own answer is a 320cm board, with a dagger-board, without straps and without mast track. Our work was to find a synthesis of the most obvious progresses in hull shapes and apply them to the objectives we had set.
The nose shows a true bow and a rather high one. The cross section is then morphing into a planing hull with a flat tail. This is a thick board (18cm) and a wide one too (76cm). A modern high-tech construction has allowed us to achieve a 13kg weight for this well above 250 litres board. The dagger-board is 100% carbon-fibre, it is very easy to raise and lower with one foot.
