it surprises me that speed boards are mostly still symmetric.

Speed sailing is about the most asymmetric activity I can think of. Even more so than the job of being a left leg. What were the chances of us, after millions of years of tweaking, evolving a symmetric left foot?

In dumb english please? Symmetric left foot? I'd be more worried if it wasn't.

I've reassessed my dumb English. How about....
Your feet are symmetric but your left foot is asymmetric?

Ahh, I'm with you now.

I figured it was just a simple function of simple biology where cells determine what they really should be, based on the other cells around them. I think almost all animals are symmetric around a centre line.

Anyway... are there significant differences you would want around a speed board, one way versus the other?

You al all missing the point. It is not an asymetric windsurfboard. It is a combination of an windsurf and a kiteboard! Kitespeedboards are always asymetric. MxR fins have made a 12 cm fin for it.
