Prepare to be roasted.. I don't know if it's because blokes are more conservative colourwise but all these black , blue and green boards and sails do nothing for me.
They might look ok on the beach but if you want zap on the water try a yellow or orange or red board / sail..
Yes I know I have a blue sail in my profile pic but I bought it during Covid and there wasn't any other choice.
Back in the 80s I had this custom slalom board made.





Looking at these pics I'd probably have more red/ orange on it these days.
Even the fin was colour co ordinated ( that wasn't planned).

Nothing wrong with blue and black



Just add some gold and a Serverne boomerang

Colour is alive and well in the Gorge. If you look good...you are good.

I think dark sails looks pretty good, especially with a bright colour board but as long as it's not purple I really don't care what colours are around.

Admittedly dark sails are certainly less visible when in the water and I noticed how much of a difference it makes when a rider is wearing a white or bright colour helmet. They are so much better visible when IN the water (eg after wipe out). Helps a lot when you're sailing winter storms with mates to keep an eye out for each other.

Bright colours may offend some people.
