With the IKA proposal to make Formula Kite as an Olympic Class; it seems that the current IKA apporved boards under 5.5 kilo's are not allowed to qualify for for this class.
This would mean that the current Zaijcek and North boards would be able to participate in IKA/ISAF events but not in the Olympic class.
Anyone an idea if people will switch to other brands, or that boardbuilders will start building stronger and heavier? It appears that Mikes Lab put the Zaichek in production at 6.0 kilo's what will be meeting the minimum weight-limit.
Do you expect to see a shift of sailors switching to other brands or more heavy boards?
