Well no, you have to learn a whole new raft of stick wigglery or so the young man told me once I'd managed to get back alive and without a swim, although that was more through sheer winsurfery balance reaction than anything.

It's a bloody great long thing on a par with a Musto and has to be swung around the back to all intents, it was the only things that really had me perplexed, I could handle the wobble and I'm sure some wax would get rid of the slippy high points which make it's high sidedness so intimidating to your average sailing dwarf.

And what's with that nose down attitude, that felt a bit weird as well, the long stick encourages you to sit forward, it feels like you should sit forward, yet the nose is biting like a bitch.

So no I don't think it's a design masterpiece, I think it's another 90's hangover from the marketing regime that went 'you're only any good if you can sail one of these' but omitted the brackets (because we can't).

This was on a lake in conditions that were just about as clement as they come I hate to think what a force four would do to our relationship. (Me and Satans Spawn it should have been the RS666.)

Well Yellow, I may be perverse, but I actually like racing in light winds - gives me time to think about what I'm doing (and why others are doing it better!).

Sorry, just had to close those brackets.

... was an invitation - I was expecting more formula before the end brackets!
