DINO 2.0 - 4.5 Tushingham

With its specially developed soft mast and narrow boom, the Dino delivers all the feel and performance of an adult rig to the lighter, younger windsurfer.

Since its introduction we’ve seen a new generation of young windsurfers, who began with the Dino, stepping up to international competitive windsurfing! New for 2010 is an X-ply edition, offering additional durability for centres and extra heavy use.

The Dino mast is a particularly important component as the small sails require a softer mast to allow the leech to twist off in gusts. Without the soft masts, the modern design Dino sails don't work properly; the rider may as well be on a basic training rig with a stiff alloy mast.

In the UK, the Team 15 youth scheme sees regular junior racing in several categories. Across the country the Dino is by far the most popular sail in the racing, selected by both centres and parents for easy, forgiving performance and excellent durability.
