I think that for down wind, the jury is still out to some extent on which type of board is faster. Damo was pulling a horizon job on everyone and simply blew by the finish, but you kind of have to take him off the top anyway. Jeremy and Sean are both incredible kiters and competed on Twins. I'd suggest that over the long haul down wind, directionals will be faster. In shorter events like Naples, especially when run nearly dead down wind, Twins work pretty well given the fast change of direction.
Hopefully we will have a few more races to find out. Thanks to the organizers of Naples, it was a blast. See you next time.
