Freeride boards are large widestyle boards that have the emphasis on early planing and handling. A new group is the Free Maneuver category. The Fanatic Skate and the classic Mistral Scores are comfortable in flatwater as well as waves. Light Wind wave boards have for the last 2 seasons lowered wind minimums for wave sailing. Pushing the envelope is the Naish Floater.
Cambered sails are still speed and power oriented.
Finally, wave sails are coming into their own. The Ezzy SE wave is outstanding. The chairs are only for hotel patrons. Please bring your own. Please act accordingly.
