With only three boards and six sails allowed in PWA slalom competition per sailor per year, the top riders have to choose their quivers at the beginning of the season and stick to their selection whatever the conditions.

Join JC in the PWA pits for our exclusive look at what kit the top racers use in the Formula 1 of windsurfing.
