DEAR WINDSURFER “The Original windsurfer class was where it all started back in 1967. There is an unparalleled amount of global engagement and connection with this class, created by Diane and Hoyle Schweitzer with a board concept developed by Jim Drake. Bruce Wylie, who entered the Windsurfing event in Santa Barbara while I sailed in the Olympics on the more “sophisticated “ Winglider, has redesigned the Windsurfer and it’s now a wonderful allround board suited also for heavier people. The board is stable, glides particularly nice in light winds and shoots into planing mode with ease. With its daggerboard it goes upwind really well. Tilt it a bit backwards and it can be handled in high-wind upwind. It freestyles with excellence and rail-rides are hereby back in trend. I really enjoy sailing this board and see it as a way to get clubs around the world introducing a board which works for entry level sailing, with the plastic daggerboard, and club racing with the composite daggerboard. Back in the days, the main campaign for the windsurfer was “DO IT STANDING UP” and this board even is good at stand up paddling.” Svein Rasmussen, Starboard’s chief innovator
