Как-то задался вопросом: Что есть - Freecarve?
В журнале windsurf есть интересная статья
http://www.windsurf.co.uk/120-litre-...-introduction/. Довольно внятно раставлено who is who?
Freerace boards are generally a de-tuned and/or more comfortable version of a tried-and-tested, elite-level slalom racing board. (Although to confuse things you can get the occasional racing board that is excellent around the bends as well!)
Freecarve boards, as the name suggests, have their emphasis on gybing and turning and so, as extra rocker curve is inevitably involved, are often slower than a flatter, harder-to-carve racing rocker line.
Freemove’ is a category that encompasses Freeride, Freestyle and even light wind/small wave performance – so if entry level sliding moves in an all-round package is appealing, look in that direction.
If the best mix of carving and blasting is what you’re after, then the popular, broader Freeride segment is where you should start looking. Rails and rockers fast enough for fun, but forgiving enough to crank around some corners at high-speed – all in comfort with friendly stance (strap and pad) placement, controllable fins and a general ‘Grand Tourer’ feel.
Lots of Freeride boards also descend from proven race boards – but bear in mind some of those are also easier to sail than others – but are also generally more durable for day-to-day use, not to mention a little cheaper too and therefore potentially excellent value for entry-level GPS Speedsailing or amateur slalom racing.
P.S. Каждый может перевести текст/статью/ так как желает и оставаться при своем…
К тому, что вид Freeride имеет подвиды, различные по специфики каталки.
