I am keen to compete in this event in 2008. Can anyone who has competed suggest what kit I will need to have any chance at keeping pace. I currently own a Starboard FreeSEX but i don't think this will be suitable as it gets a bit sketchy( sitting up on fin, losing contact with water) with bigger sails going for speed down wind. What board would you guys suggest to do this event properly.

I'm about 75kgs.
