Early planing boards and big sails...
During the late 90's a whole new concept of boards and sails became available on the market. These early planing boards and big sails made it possible to have "funboard-type" competition in a wider range of windspeeds, with planing races from 7knots.
The concept of Formula Windsurfing was born in France, who successfully pioneered Formula competition in 1998.
