They would have to be made out of carbon nano tubes for windsurfing.
A. It's carbon, so it markets well
B. they won't stick to the sail when they get wet
C. You wont be able to see then since their "nano"

My 8 y/o daughter has just taken her pink and fluoro plastic tassles off her bike handle bars (peer group pressure) - I'm sure she wouldn't mind you using these :))
