Greg pointed out that a race board would have been more appropriate.
Thermals are good.

nice! but the choice of a surfboard made it seem like it was a fully staged - redbull/oracle promo.

Maybe a foil board would have made a bit more even match?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cost/speed ratio.
The AC 72 design alone is around $1.8 million. Not to mention building, and crewing the thing.
The $1500 kite surfer by comparison is like a go-cart giving a ferrari a run for its money
these are not the pumps you are looking for....

Wow - but a lot more than $15 million in that Oracle boat methinks!!! Anyone know what their speeds were?
We windsurf - life must be good!
