Good to see someone else who stores boards on their side.

I went on line to see if any other surfers, wind, kite, Sup had quality issues with the newer Naish boards as compression top and bottom seems to be an issue now, also paint / top coat bubbling. Its not Osmosis or abuse, my boards are very well looked after. The older Naish windsurf and sup boards were undoubtedly the best in every way a brand owned by people who cared. I have been told by 2 very skilled and highly regarded repairmen that since Naish was sold to a Polish company the quality has dropped to keep manufacturing costs and weight down. The fibre glass around the core has a much thinner layer of resin now leading to problems when getting warm / hot as air bubbles in the core rise through the resin and blister the skin. This is just an honest appraisal from a former very happy user who in the early days was proud to go to the beach with a Naish board

Great idea. Keen to hear his thoughts too. I had a chat in a pub with Ben years ago where he said he was always exploring ways to improve rigging outcomes on his sails by making things easier to get right. He saw that as a big part of improving the sport in general.

not sure if you've seen this video. Different brand but has great detail on fine tuning a race sail
