© BOARDS

Windsurfing: A board with a teardrop planshape, features a thin, drawn out nose, the widest point closer to the tail than the nose, and the majority of volume distributed in the middle and rear sections. Using this design concept it is possible to produce boards that are exceptionally fast but still manoeuvrable enough to gybe easily. (With less nose area, the board cuts through chop more efficiently and doesn't stick in the turn as much as conventional boards with wide noses). Nevertheless, extreme examples of Teardrop boards can be extremely skittish and twitchy to sail, and require competent sailing technique to get the best out of.
