Hello,

Has what i heard we will have the same rules on PWA and IFCA. On the the PWA for the width big board : 91 cm , width for windfoil but still slalom light wind board and 6 / 3 on IFCA Event ... wait and see.

We will wait for confirmation .... but !

I think the biggest board on the 3 / 6 will be a convertible board. If i understand what are you saying the 3 / 6 will stay and rider will use an other board for foiling ?

My ones are just thoughts. Nothing official.
In isonic 147 notes they talk about 91 cm width as new max limit for ifca events.
Because of that I was expressing here my doubts about a good 5 days event running using just 2 boards and 4 sails.
In isonic 134 notes they say the re-editing of this shape is directly related to the fact that in PWA, when very light wind, in 2018 they'll run wind foil comps. Plus, Starboard presents a more powerful boards (new 137) still at 85 cm . Because of that I was thinking MAYBE PWA keeps on with 85 cm as max width for slalom boards (while 91 cm is the max for foiling).

In any case I really struggle to think how much new sizes/specs combinations 6 cm will bring out...
Are we sure now the 6/3 rule is the right call?

P.s. In my 10 years fw experience keep planning with 7 kts needed skills,big fins and sails plus, after tacks and jibes you had to pump like hell to keep going again. i accepted that in fw but don't think is sellable for slalom video show...

We'll see.
