What's it going to cost to replace a curved dagger, vs. a straight board? Sooner or later, you are going to break one.

And if you are doing a distance type race (like the one mentioned above), and break all the curved boards anyone has on the beach, can you, in pinch, substitute a straight board as a spare? Or will it not fit into both hull slots?

The reality is, we all have to pay for our addictions, the higher the price, the fewer can play. I realise this F17 is aimed at the Olympics, that's good, let them buy it, I can't afford a(nother) $20,000 toy.

If the rest of the classes are going the direction of curved boards,...well...what's that going to cost to replace when I break one? Or do they cost about the same as a straight board?
