The class shot itself in the foot abandoning the Evo. The original gear could be sold to the youth class – still better than a Techno. At worst case they could allow Evo from 2014, so losses are minimised.

there’s something so depressing about being obsessed by a sport that’s going through hard times. i’ve skateboarded, kitesurfed and snowboaded and obsessed as i was with skating for about 6 years, nothing touches windsurfing. it is the most incredible sport. the difficulty i guess is the tenacity you need to show to get yourself to a level where you can enjoy it. add that to the fact you’re always waiting for the conditions and I can understand why the number of people who do it falls. it’s just lucky that all of us who do are so passionate about it. funnily enough, when i skated in the mid 90′s it’s hard to believe that skateboarding was also seen as a ‘dying sport’. there were probably 150-200 skaters in the whole of London and we all knew each other. You could easily add another zero or two to those figures now.

lawyers who do a ‘no win, no fee’ deal either have so many clients they can cover a loss, or, are really confident of a win, or, are stupid – i know which one i hope rs-x has

Very true (and sad at the same time).
