| 2003 PWA CHAIRMAN'S REPORT |
2002 was a great year for the PWA
www.pwaworldtour.com/origcol.php3?articleid=213
|
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY |
The IWA and its member classes engaged in a consultative process at the end of last year to ensure that as many people within the industry as possible could freely express their opinions in regard to the selection by ISAF of new Olympic equipment. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to agree on everything, however, three key views were expressed by almost everyone
a) The Olympic windsurfing equipment should change for 2008
b) The majority of the brands want tight measurement tolerances to be established. Not a One-Design Class.
c) The majority want a free builder class
