I pulled out the cassett to study how it works. The plastic frame seems a bit wimpy to me but I'm guessing these hold up pretty well? I see what you mean by being "spring loaded". Here ar ... |

My Bic Techno 185 arrived the other day and overall I'm happy with it. This is my first board from Bic and the daggerboard arrangement is different from other boards I've owned. The entire unit inst ... |

I don't know if I'd call it the "best", but Bic has been selling their Techno series on Amazon for about half price. I picked up a Techno 185 for $711 (including tax and free shipping). On ... |

Yeah, that's a great deal on a very nice board. If you're like 220 and bigger, and have advanced windsurfing skills... that 185 will be like a big shortboard for you, and that's how you'll want to use ... |

Hey Greg,
I'm a big guy who is getting back into windsurfing after a long break. I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina so we get all conditions here (flat water, chop, waves small and large) ... |

Looks like the 185D, 205D and 293 One Design are all the same board (except maybe the 185D isn't as thick as the other 2)? |
