Volume windsurf boards
Volume says something about the buoyancy of a windsurfboard. This is always depending on length, weight and your ultimate goal. A heavier person will certainly pay attention to the volume of a windsurfboard where lighter and more experienced windsurfers often look at the width of the windsurfboard. The width of a windsurf board says a lot about the range of use and the ability to plan. Nowadays there are several windsurf boards available which you have to use with much less liters. Look especially at the sail range that a surf brand indicates for the board in question.
Construction windsurf boards
- Full carbon: this is very light, stiff and pricey. The windsurf boards are also slightly more vulnerable than the heavier versions, but the sailing feel is definitely better.
- Wood Sandwich: slightly heavier than a full carbon windsurfboard. This construction is however more than sufficient for most windsurfers.
- HRS: Fanatic is the only board brand that uses this construction. The successful Fanatic Gecko is available in this construction. It's an ideal mix of strength, weight and price.
- ASA: these windsurfboards are heavier, cheaper and much stronger. A lot of windsurf boards for beginners are made in ASA, because of the impact resistance. In addition, these windsurf boards are often equipped with a soft EVA deck.
Windsurf board brand
Most windsurf boards come from the same factory. Therefore the quality of the boards doesn't vary that much. All well-known windsurfboard brands have several constructions per model that they release. All top brands have well-established shapers who know each other through and through. Of course a shaper puts his idea in a windsurfboard, but meanwhile they look at each other very carefully.
In the end, it is often a personal preference for a surf brand. Price, appearance and included accessories can also be decisive.
