Well we did a few small windward-leeward race, but it was painfully obvious that if we want more racers, that everyone is going to have to upgrade their equipment to directionals.
If you are looking for something that will work for racing and waves, look for a quad fin board around 5'6 to 5'11 and around 17 inches wide. For racing you might need your front fins a bit larger than your standard wave riding fins. Another good option is the Placebo which seems to work good out of the box. you can stick on a set of NSI pads with footstrap inserts. This board works equally well for regular surfing.
We have them at the shop for $599.
