Goya join the Twinfin revolution, offering their first in the coming 2010 season. It may have taken them longer than many of the other manufacturers to bring out this style of board but from first impressions it looks set to be a a true leader in the field.

Hot off the press, we have just got our TwinFin 74lt and are looking forward to giving it a blast just as soon as the wind arrives. Keep checking back or sign up to our Top Windsurfing Tips & News to get the full low down on how we rate this new board from Goya!

Here is the spec sheet for the full range of Goya TwinFins:

The boards are coming in 2 different constructions, ECO Wood (All the Eco-wood construction will come in white color and lightly sanded finish) & the Premium lightweight LTD edition (in a funky orange finish). Retail prices looks like it is going to range from £999 for the ECO Wood to £1,199 for the LTD.

Check out some pictures of the new boards & the funky graphics:
Eco-wood (eco-friendly material) construction uses a combination of PVC & Wood double sandwich, combines latest research with a competitive price…

Goya Custom TwinFin - LTD Edition

From the man himself, Francisco Goya:
The all new Goya Twin Fins are finally here, we develop this boards to take wave riding to the next level. We found ourselves riding closer in the pocket of the wave than we have ever dreamed of just as if we were riding our surf boards. They also turn Cross-On conditions into whole wave riding playground bringing more wave overall-versatility.

2010 constructions:
Light weight and strong construction is what we are after, and we just keep on fine tuning it year after year. Our customized lay-up system is tuned up according to the need scenarios of each size board and model. At the foot strap & landing area the reinforcements are more developed and we gradually reduce them towards the front of the board, creating a super light nose feeling, reducing the swing motion.

OK, so the summer is drawing to a close, its getting too cold to motivate yourself to get out on the water but you still feel like you need more of a windsurfing fix. The answer is to go into intensive training mode, on a trip to Dahab, Egypt…or at least that’s what I did!

Beginners windsurfing to advanced freestyle Dahab, Egypt!

Picture this, 28c in the air & the same in the sea, then add perfect wind for all levels & super flat water. Unfortunately there is always a chance this ‘usually windy place’ just doesn’t deliver & during my end of UK summer time windsurf trip we only got a few days of strong winds.

This really has been abnormal condition out in Dahab for this time of year. The locals were saying they haven’t seen it like this in 10 years! Not what I really wanted to hear but it is good to know that the chances are next year should hopefully be back to normal!

When does work, the usual wind pattern goes like this: strong wind builds over night to give great improver & advanced windsurfing conditions from early morning through to lunch time. As the air temperature rises during the day the wind calms to give great conditions for beginners windsurfing. This & the fact it is always 30c with clear sky make Dahab, Egypt an amazing place for all levels of windsurfers to go. Mixed ability groups/couples can go here with the confidence that everyone will get some great water time that will really boost their windsurfing ability.

Next year we may even run a trip out to Dahab for all our students to continue progressing their windsurfing skills & prolong the summer feeling! Details will be posted on our Windsurfing Holidays page
