They finance all the competitions they do without sponsoring: the only sponsoring they have is an extra discount on the equipment

| BRA 3333 is Paulo dos Reis, also known as Paulão. He is 4x brazilian formula windsurfing champion and, in my opinion, the best formula windsurfer in Brazil.
Unfortunately he is not part of international teams of any brand, so his support is limited. If he would have the chance to participate on the formula windsurfing events abroad I'm sure he would be top 3! The guy is great.

| Polis,
FW decided a few years ago to toss out the production sail rule, as it was unworkable. And Steve A. being part of the Gaastra R&D effort probably was on protos as well, or at least on sails that were heavily tweaked and modified - that's his job.

| No rep for kashy, you have to get in touch with him directly. about 2 years waiting list to get the fns.

| I am sorry to mention this but Wilhelm is not light weight world champion..there is not such world title...i´ve seen that in starboard as well they promote him as the light weight world champion...he was the first light weight guy in the world championships...that finished 11th on the overall...congrats to him...he is an amazing racer.
congrats to Gabriel Brown aswell for being the first youth in the event but certainly this doesnt give him the Youth World Championsips title...which North and F2 are not claiming at all...

| You should read again, since I guess you got it wrong, this is what starboard has on their site:
"Congratulations to Antoine Albeau for winning the 2007 Formula World Championship, and to Wilhelm Schurmann for winning the 2007 Formula World Championship lightweight division"
As you can see, it says " lightweight division" so they are actualy promoting shurman on what he won, the light weight division. Last year it was the same for the guy who won in Korea, I thing it was Por 5. About the youth, everyone knows that the world championship for that was in Estonia.

| The FACT is that NO other light weight was infront of Wilhelm and NO other youth was infront of Gabriel and this worlds was one of the most difficult ones.... people said the level was outstanding... (not for Antoine heheheheh seemed easy for him) and there was plenty of wind to show the skills.

Thanks for having us.

| Whats thats about. if NP biggest sail is 11.8 is it ok to produce 12.5 prototypes to some guys?. Then Albeau is going to win everthing because no one has got a big enough sail ?? Strange.
BTW what sail sizes where mostly used?

The equipment list didnt reveal anything about the models, what about the deboichet guys was it 19 or 17 they used ?

| Want to kill formula, put everyone on "defalult" stock fins built by one factory. One guy will buy 10 and keep the best, the next will buy one or 2 and never go fast... Which board will these fins be designed for? What about lightweights or different boards requiring different fins??? Default fins==> the END!

| Kostas - fins are limited the same as sails. Competitors can only register one board / 3 sails / 3 fins for each event.

| like i said before, formula should have a limit in the number and type of the fins, that an athlete can use, like Kostas quote.
And you know why? formula is becoming a 'rich fun'. There many exemples of sailors that are not doing better, because they dont have $$$ conditions to buy 3,5 or even, 10 KASHYS.

| With Formula- the rules are pretty simple: 1 board, 3 rigs and 3 fins. You cant stop someone from buying 10 fins and registering the 3 best at a regatta.
If a person doesn't have the money to buy 3 fins he will get by with the best that he can with 2 or even 1.
You're always going to be competing in life with people with more money than you- get used to it and use what you have the most efficiently that you can!

Stock fins for everybody = closer gap between the rich-10-fins' purchaser and the guy who is going race with the fin provided free of charge with his board

| Im not rich but given the choice would rather not sail a one design class like the rsx when there exist something better. Nobody's forcing you to sail in this evolving class- you could stick with a stagnent class like the kona or the rsx and find your thrills there.
The formula designs- especially boards have rapidly evolved over the past 5 years but is really starting to reach a plateau.The fins although are now just reaching a new level- perhaps in a few years we will see them level out as well. This is the nature of the class!

What you mean? year by year the fins and the whole 'equipament' will be more important then the sailor. That's the concept of formula? I dont think so.

| Actually as can be seen in the equipment list that the equipment is leveling off. Notice that Both the *brd and F2 brands had 06 and 07 boards spread evenly through the results, also many riders using last years sails too. And as the previous posters said Antoine is using an "old R13" and "fins will level out as well"... Yes equipment is important, but knowing how to use it, skill and training is much more important....

| if it's only the fin which makes this huge difference in performance between sailors, then it seems that it's worth investing some good money on it. Otherwise, everyone can have a top class sail, mast, boom, board - but from the above discussion sounds that the FIN is a very critical factor, if not the main one, in athletes gear....

I lost a harness and an NP 9.8 RS Racing bag at worlds.
My harness has VA9 on it and my bag had no personal writings on it. If you found either please post back. Thanks
