SPEED MANIA
Many windsurfers are infected by the Speed Mania. Everybody wants to know how
fast they are. There is no better way to find out than with a
Gps device. Settle the
score - with the Sport Tool M300 GPS you will be able to prove that you and your JP
were faster than your mates. >

TECHNOLOGY THE DESIGNERS
“The Right Stuff for Radical Action”. No compromises - we only use thelatest, best and strongest materials and construction techniques available.
It's expensive but it pays off for you. WERNER GNIGLER
“I often get asked how we can come up
with new products every year. Some
are suspicious and believe it is all
about marketing and nothing is really
new. The truth is, I learn something
new with every single prototype I build
and test. Sometimes it amazes me
what big effects small changes can
have and that allows us to improve the
boards again and again. That's driving
me, as I know there is always room for
improvement.”
RICHARD GREENE“Waveboard tests in magazines are
something special as it is very much a
matter of taste and preference of the
testers. Speed and early planing are
much easier to test and compare than
how a
marine board bottom turns. It seems
with our 2006 Radical Wave line we hit
the target perfectly as we got really
good tests and very good consumer
feedback. This has motivated me incredibly
to build on that success and make even
better boards for 2007.“ >
DECK PAD
(on Young Gun 70 + 85 and on all Full Wood Sandwich boards except Super Cross and Super Sport) >
TECHNORA®
Carbon was the most used high tech fiber in windsurfboards for many
years. After intense research, we have now found Technora® which is an
Aramid fiber. Technora®'s breaking strength is one of the highest of all
available organic fibers (8 times as strong as steel) and has about 4 times
the elongation at break than Carbon. This basically means that because of
Technora® our Pro Edition boards (Freestyle Wave, Freestyle, Super Cross,
Super Sport) are much stronger. >
•
For a comfortable ride and good grip - no slipping. >
DOUBLE HEEL PADS
(on all boards except Funster 160, 180, 205 and Young Gun 114) >
•
Great cushioning effect - very comfortable. Your heels are higher on the board - for more power and control on your forefoot. Initiating turns is really easy. DOUBLEHEELPADDECKPAD SHOCKABSORBER PAD >
SHOCK ABSORBER PAD PRO EDITION
(on all Pro Edition and Full Wood Sandwich boards except X-Cite Ride, Super Sport and Slalom) AVAILABLE FOR ALL FREESTYLE WAVE, FREESTYLE, SUPER CROSS, SUPER SPORT AND SLALOM BOARDS. These lay-ups represent the highest level of composite technology comingfrom the aerospace industry including Technora®, Kevlar and Carbon. All
Pro Edition boards are about one kg (2.2 lbs) lighter than the Full Wood
Sandwich versions. We don't know of any lighter boards on the market. If
you try one you will want one - as the low weight and the special feeling it
provides will simply blow you away! >
•
Combined with the Double Heel Pad you have now a total pad thickness of 10mm in the heel area (8mm before). Hard landings and even the meanest chop won't bother you anymore. >
LIMITED FINISH - LESS WEIGHT SPECIAL FOOTSTRAPS
All Full Wood Sandwich and Pro Edition boards have a reduced amount of
paint to decrease the weight. Consequently, 'Limited Finish' boards have a
custom look with certain "imperfections", thus the material below the paint
might shine through. You won't find two boards exactly the same. We believe
this is worth it as the weight reduction is substantial and there's no loss of
durability or strength. Please check the individual board pages for details. PRE-SHAPED Ideal arch shape to perfectly fit your feet. Thick neoprene cover for great comfort. ADJUSTABLE WIDTH Adjustable in width not just in length as all other straps on the market. By simply turning the plastic plate by 180 degrees, the width of the footstraps can be switched from 14,2cm to 13,0cm. Great for slalom sailors who need a tight connection to the board and for youngsters or women with smaller feet. >
