El Nino is supposed to be really strong this year. Ocean temperatures in some parts of the world are already at record highs.
What will El Nino do to the wind in different parts of the world?
Will there be anywhere in the world that might have better wind conditions than normal because of El Nino, or is El Nino typically bad for windsurfing wind everywhere?

The skill list is a farce,






Why not be part of the solution ?

If these forums have taught us anything, then it is exactly what skills are missing in this society :

Grammar and Spelling Auditors (pedant level 99 or above)
Educators (economic and war strategy) for 10 years olds
Domestic Architects (with knowledge of high-rise building failures) (Mornington Peninsular area)
Geoscientists and Earth Scientists (both flat and globe type)
Immigration Statisticians
Antique Windsurf Fin Screw Machinists
Peace Negotiators (middle-east region specialisation)
Real Estate Agents (Port Gregory market expertise)
Mandarin Teachers with a Bitcoin Investment Advice license
Small Engine and Carburetor Repairers (back-yard sub-class)

any others ?


You left out pedant.

also let's not forget the non pwa market is loving the 3di sails. It cannot be denied there is something there. Plus , talk that any mast can be used.. that in itself is significant.


Apparently Goya is the perfect fit.

hmm.. but then you run the risk of analysis paralysis ... too many choices, what to sail, continual swapping and setting up gear
For me, 2 boards max/3 sails and deal with it


3.7/4.3/4.9 -> 98 L
5.5 -> 105 L
6.1 -> 114 L
6.7 -> 125 L

maybe I need to get a trailer!

Dealer meeting is this month in Tarifa so we'll get news very soon.
There is a Polakow Pro model coming, you can see it under Keith's feet in the latest Quatro MAUI pro pics from FishBowl Diaries, yellow-orange with the famous wings on the deck, it kinda looks like the 2020-2022 Pyramids (it's a full on thruster).

As far as the Goya boards, I too really don't know what they could improve, both their latest quads and thrusters are just stellar, impeccable . I have seen less positive feedbacks from the Nitros though


The short length of the Nitros puts me off. Having said that, Takara Ishi rode a Nitro in the recent Maui competition and he looked like he had far better speed in the cross on mast high conditions than most of the other sailors in his heats, even against the Maui based sailors.

Should be fine for foiling, if that's what you intend to use that sail for.

BMI is a bull**** measure for tall muscular people. My BMI is 26.4 but I had my body fat percentage measured recently and it was 13%.
