It appears, the two main windsurfing rider's for MikeZ cannot get a board from the master, even though they both have inquired. Both did get, two year's previous, 90 cm wide Formula boards, which are just starting to show age from 240+ days of combined Formula and Kiting wear.
Still, you gotta try, MikeZ can't continue forever designing and trying kite foils, can he? |

Maybe just a little extra money can make it happen. Still though, I feel that telephone calls are the way to go. E-Mails can often miss the mark.
I have to ask, does Mike still require a deposit to get on the list these days? |

I think if Mike and Steve have given up on getting new slalom boards from Mike, it's pretty much over.
MikeZ has been foil kiting with foil kites and board. |

Weirdly, the kite racing development is all about the kite (duh!) and the foil. The board looks simply like a small chunk of foam.
I hope he is 'force' to make boards again.
If I had to have a slalom board custom made though, I would ask Phil McGain for one. |

Rob Mulder from Vancouver Canada makes very good carbon slalom boards. As far as I know Bruce Peterson from Sailworks rides these boards and wins many races with them. Dale Cooke is another happy customer.
I have no relationship with Roberts, I am just a satisfied customer. I have a 24" slalom Roberts board and I will get another one this year in the 26" size.
