Speaking of boards, I didn't see any daggerboards on any of the kite cats. Wouldn't daggers help them go to weather, or are the going to try to get the kite alone to pull them to weather? I would think you could do better with dagger boards but maybe there is some other reason they are not using them.
Because of the small volume of the boards; they ride them on the rails; thus daggers are not needed; also; as the boards are not level, the daggers if they have them will create lift and just flip the board.
I sailed the first breed of short board windsurfers in the UK about 30 years ago; we quickly threw away the daggers as they were a nightmare and we were just getting thrown off the boards when the plates/daggers created lift and flipped the boards.
