New Laser Performance Boat?

He went on about the ergonomics of the hiking position and how much time he'd paid to getting the cockpit depth right, we all thought two straps would be better and no the sheeting system and something else surrounding the connection of the boom to the mast is still being revised, there's some sort of locking system, I wasn't paying a lot of attention at that point something female passed by during that bit and I was begiining to lose the will to live. The boys seem to think they've sorted the mast base locking, one of the guys I was with is an expert Laserjockey and they'd begun to speak hi level laser programming code so everything clouded over and I wandered off to look underneath it. Got pictures if anyone wants to see them of the underside and I gave the rocker a look as best you can when it's chocked up on show stands but it looks OK, honestly I couldn't see anything that you'd go, woa don't like that, full batten sail is it's only flaw in my book but I accept their reasoning and it's a well put together rag.

The Portstar is an answer to a problem that was never asked. It must be depressing trying to sell this stuff for a living.

You can probably blame me for the Aero, after a lunchtime chat with Martin Wadhams at Southampton boat show a few years back(bear in mind he and I go back years to the dawn of windsurfing history) At the time the RS100 was all the rage and I was still wittering on about how heavy all the crap they sell and you lot buy and reminding him of Jack Holt when he was getting old and the Streaker (needing to be lighter). I pointed out his demographic (all pale, male and getting staler by the year)what they need is something light they can get in and out of the water easy and wasn't too complicated to sail.

This is what we all want and now we have the Pornstar as well, I've no idea who Rastegar even is, only what I've read here, but I do know that Portugal has had a load of EU investment which I'm grateful for, for what it has meant to the surf style board Industry part of which is still keeping me in the manner to which I've become accustomed.

Honestly, this is a good thing, the more 'light is right' pressure is put on all the moron classes that insist on staying same ole same ole, the better imv.
