Boards: Roberts @ Maui


Control Bump Speed Style King Surf

Seatrend 56 Allstar AVS
& Roberts 22
These two Rob Mulder-designed boards come from the same mold. Regina Rode commented on the Allstar, “Jibes quick and sharp if you want it to, jumps well, quick to plane . . . fast board.” Glenn Fuller said that while riding the Roberts 22 he went faster than he'd ever gone before in rougher water than ever before and never spun out. He also noted that while he's nothing like a great jiber he nailed all his jibes on this board. Fran Dickson liked the 56 for its “quickness, liveliness and stability.” What's not to like about these boards? Some windsurfers simply don't want to go that fast.
