Wining Machine Formula Windsurfing rules set planing as soon as 7 knots of wind. Fabien Vollenweider and Fabien Pendle have designed the FV1.2 to plane as early as 6 knots of wind. This board is the absolute weapon to win a Formula Windsurfing race. Above its exceptional performances, the FV1.2 gives a brand new feeling. It's sails high on the water and the contact area with water is very short. On all courses, the FV1.2 pushes further the limits of light wind sailing. It has no challenger today. Anatomy of an exceptionnal board Maximum width : 87,5 cm. With this very large width, sails up to 11 m2 and fins up to 60 cm can be used. Its planing ability and top speed potential downwind and up wind are unbeatatble today. Reduced width on top ends : at 60cm of the back, it is only 62 cm wide, so the FV1.2 is very fast and stays controlable even at the highest speed upwind and downwind, the decisive courses in Formula Windsurfing. High raised scoop. With such big dimensions, a very special scoop has been designed to keep control of this machine. The board is sailing high on the water and contact area with chop is very limited. An exceptionnal feeling. The accelerations are fantastic and control is perfect: when the board is planing, it reacts like a much narrower board. It's 60 cm long fin provides a high upwind speed/angle ratio and it never looses speed even in the deepest lulls. 6 mm x 16cm steps + flap : this appendice and shape parts reduce the water contact area and avoid the spinout. Concave deck : it creates of a Venturi effect which tackle the board on the water while going upwind. It does not fly anymore. Bevels on the front part : they lower shocks while overtaking the waves on the reaches.
