That is absolute Gold. Bring back the wind weapons!

Sailboarding was peaking 10 years back i think. I believe that it was much more thrilling faster and hard of the body. Guys were riding 2m bigger sails that what they would today with smaller boards.

ps, this is just my view.

I think you need to decide if you are an ex sailboarder who is still kind of interested in the sport or just a troll like Lotto. Then those of us who like windsurfing know how to respond.

I am a sailboarder. Yes i just sold my last sailboard 3 days ago but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy one for the summer. I love windsurfing but as you do find things that are more interesting. I will never totally give up sailboarding as it is apart of me growing up as a kid. Who knows i may even buy the iRig.

Nah I think we know and it is kinda obvious.

^^^ Talk about making a simple idea (windsurfing) complicated

Im gonna put my 2 cents worth in on this one.

I have had to put windsurfing on hold due to shoulder injuries which are slow healers. This IRig would be awesome for us with injuries to get back out on light gear to get the required strength back and cause less pain to us when out on the water. I struggle to lift my rigs and boards due the weight (even light gear) I even struggle to lift my 2yo son into the car.

So I think if this is within my price range I would not hesitate to get one as a temporary rig to help me get back into the sport which I was really beginning to enjoy before my injury. And then also be able to get my 7yo daughter into the sport as well.

It might be full of hot air but I'd a good idea. fast little air compressor would help. Fill it with helium?

Kitewing on a non sinking board ils easier th an windsurfing.. with actual kitewing thé problem is thé weights a wawe warrior is 8,5 kg , wind weapon 10 kg. No light wind use


I hope théy do a symetrical irig to allow windsurf, kitewing and kite in one

Amazing!! its like someone has decided to take a step backwards from Kitesurfing.

Is it possible to mount a a portable toilet on a windsurfer?

Big wave Dave and I dig the concept, we had heaps of fun....the perfect thing for families

I wonder if you can trim the sail by individually pumping up different sections to different pressures?

WindSUP must be the futur ....

Great idea for kids as well, where can we buy one ?

Robbie naish said some interesting comments over the aloha classic. Kai asked him why windsurfing isn't as big as it was in the 80s hay day. He said that gear has become too advanced and high end. Less emphasis on the beginner stage. In the 80s it was simple board and sail combos that whole families could use that then would lead people wanting to better gear as they progressed . He also said his biggest naish brand seller is the sup blow board with windsurfing option. This blow is sail is a good option for people to give windsurfing " a go" if they already own a sup ( with mast plug option). And the more people getting into windsurfing will always be better for us who already do it.
