Dreams and technology go hand in hand in the new issue: on the cover and in the big photo story, we take you to the Glénans Islands. What looks like a Caribbean paradise is actually not that far off the coast of Brittany. Much less spectacular, but essential for all windsurfers from beginners to professionals, are base plates. They lead a largely hidden existence under schooners and are often forgotten. However, in addition to a variety of different systems, there are also very tangible advantages and disadvantages. And while we're on the subject, we'll also show you the most important tips for low trim forces.
In addition to all the mega moves of the pros, the PWA livestream is always fascinating to see how lightning-fast Philip Köster and co. can tack even on mini boards. For many surfers, the good old tack tends to be forgotten as soon as they have got to grips with the power jibe. But with a quick step around the mast, you can change direction without losing height. Julian Wiemar shows step by step how the tack on small boards becomes an eye-catcher instead of a wobble.
If you want to be the fastest at the home spot, you usually opt for freerace sails with camber. We have beaten five models across Lake Garda and show all the impressions and differences in the test. In addition to the bestsellers GunSails Vector and NeilPryde V8, the new Severne Moto is also included.
