What helped the Techno 293 OD become such a successful Class Racing board was its general performance and easy control. The Techno 293 OD is the perfect solution to the wide range of conditions that riders encounter in competition.
With a high volume and moderate outline, the Techno 293 OD provides a stable platform for learning to windsurf. A daggerboard provides directional stability and makes sailing upwind a breeze. In light winds, the near 3 metre length helps the board really glide through the water, making windsurfing an exciting option in sub-planing conditions. Once the wind gets up, the concave hull helps boost the board onto the plane making for great funboard sailing.
Competition aside, the Techno 293 OD is ideal for learning and leisure funboarding. The daggerboard provides security so that the board can be sailed by learners with small sails in light winds. This versatility enables clubs to reduce their overheads and equipment costs by having just one board model from learning right through to racing. With high quality fittings it really is a reliable, high performance board, comfortable in all water conditions.
