Planing is what makes windsurfing so fascinating. We have all been sitting on the beach thinking - there is wind but it's just not enough to get planing? Here is the solution.
The Super Lightwinds start planing as early as Formula boards - when there are no white caps in sight. Contrary to Formula boards it is much easier to get in and out of the straps. Jibing the Super Lightwinds is also a pleasure compared to any Formula board.
The SLW 90 got really good magazine reviews. We now added the new 92 which is not just 2cm wider but also 16cm longer and has 11 Liter more. Due to those measurements and the fact that the 92 comes with additional further inboard footstrap plugs, it works also great for less advanced riders as it gets planing super early even with a passive sailing style. Sheet in and go. The 90 is basically a bigger brother of the sporty Super Sport boards while the 92 is the bigger sibling of the comfortable, but still performance oriented X-Cite Ride. Both are made to have fun in really light winds.
SHAPE To get the boards planing easily without the special technique of Formula sailors, we made them substantially longer than Formula boards. This also makes the boards more stable in non-planing conditions.
The scoop rocker lines come from our big Slalom boards since they are also developed for high speed runs. As they are not quite as wide as a formula board (100 cm) we managed to achieve big handling advantages.
The rail shape in combination with the Race Deck allows the rider a very comfortable sailing stance. The strap positions come from the Super Sport (SLW90) respectively from the X-Cite Ride (SLW 92) boards.
They jibe easy and stay on the plane through the turn. We achieved this rather unusual characteristic for such wide boards by using a new Vee flow concept. More V in the mid section of the board where it is wide makes it easier to rail-up the board and initiate the turn.
Towards the tail we reduced the Vee to guarantee maximum control on high speed runs. We also used big Tail Cut-Outs for better release and a looser feel of the boards. The board shapes in combination with the newly developed 56cm molded Carbon fin make them real pleasure boards for reaching.
SUMMARY They will get you planing in minimal winds and deliver an unknown combination of totally relaxed blasting and an electric sensation of speed. Those sitting on the beach will be jealous. Most heard comment about them: "I never thought you could have so much fun in so little wind".
