Thought I'd share this with y'all-

A while ago I modified my 10'4" Angulo Surfa to change it's windsurfing performance. It already came with a mast track, so I could sail it as soon as I bought it, but I made various changes for various reason.

Change #1- I added a finbox in the middle of the board to give it a "poor man's daggerboard". This helped a lot with its usuability as a beginner board for my wife. When I use the board myself I remove the dagger fin.

Change #2- I created a flat-rocker section in the tail to allow the board to plane. This was quite an elaborate change, because I had to add two finboxes in the new tail section.

It works in waves

And in flat water

I think that if my totally uneducated hack-job of a modification can have results this good, that there's a lot of potential in the design concept. (Twin fin swallow-tail step-tail windsup.) I'd like to see others try similar experiments.
