Are you sure it is the sail? I imagine you were on a hip_hop and
Ken was on his Tiga257. The hip-hop is a dog in comparison by my
judgement having sailed both. Also, the 257 handles gusty conditions
very well. You might want to swap boards and keep the same sail next
time to find out for sure. I sailed the hip_hop in Maui and the
257 in the Gorge so the conditions were more difficult with the
hip_hop though it felt slow even it I looked good on it on the video.
