I know that Scott McKercher won the wave saling title LAST year (Well done Scotty),
so does than mean that the world's best gear THIS year is Quatro boards and Naish sails as Kauli Seadi is now world wave sailing champ?
I know the big pom whitey has the production speed record on Severne Sails, but Finnian Maynard rides F2 and Naish and he is the current world record holder
Freestyle is JP-Australia and Neil Pryde with Ricardo Cambello.
Slalom goes to Bjorn with North sail and Proof boards
Worlds best Women wave sailors should be on World Best North sails and Mistral boards like Daida Ruano Moreno?
If you race, then world's best would be North (Mens) and Arrows (Womens) boards from F2 and Mistral.
Make the most of trying new kit that is offered.
There's a big range out there, You can't ride it all, go with what feels good. It may not be the "best" but it can make you happy on the water.

The top sailors and surfer have ridden nearly every possiable shape and thickness etc etc etc over long periods and often in every possiable condition ,yes you get specialist at certain places who not only ride well but create ther e own style .and style take years to develop.The point being you give any board to some one with skill he will make it work to its capacity with style.
Has the new champ got style?
Had the 1992 polokaw vidieo on last night now theres some hookipa wave 360 style.
Gill stubbs --- margret river style master in the late 1980s had the wildest bottom turn and style, stil not matched ;riding aysametricals [big word that] with 1 inch plus twist through the tail.
