Plastic Fantastics

   We could always ask feva_kid to go on a mission and investigate at length the adverse effects of the 45ºC he's enduring on his favourite Feva. I'd be happy to donate water bottles and suncream, just for him to step outside and have a break from the forum.

	With Toppers (which are a different material to therotomoulds) its the cold they really can't stand. Soneone at our club was towing one home on a sub zero day, they clipped a gatepost or something and it shattered!

	Certainly polyethelene windsurfers can bend in the sun. We still have the original Windsurfer racing as a class down here in Oz, and we heat them in the sun with black plastic bags to adjust rocker according to the conditions. If some modern board had that ability, you can get they'd call it "Vari-rocker" or something, write pages about how it helped performance, and charge a premium! Do people adjust the shape of Toppers in the same way????

	With all of this heat around, could it be bad for all these new fangled plastic boats i.e Vago, Omega, etc. Could the heat cause them to expand and deform?
