A hectic weekend's action worldwide...here we go with a swift summary and some heads-ups on upcoming action too.

Not bad for 12-yr olds...

What's with that extra footstrap on the Quad?

Thanks for the mention of the East Coast Windsurfing Regatta!

Hi Michael,

Thanks
- hope the event's fun! (And windy...)

I
guess the 4th strap's for heading out and/or upwind in surf - just ike Robby
Naish has always advocated...I could be wrong, but I think some Naish wave
boards still have a middle strap for this reason. Kinda makes sense to me. So
many times when you're setting up for a wae or heading out over chop and
whitewater when your back foot's not in yet and sort fo want to be attached to
that board! But then I could be wrong and Kauli's got some secret narrow stance
style going on!

See
ya

Brian
