Surfing learned years ago the way to hold great events is to have an event window.
So tough to nail it on one weekend...and very stressful for the organizers.

I believe king of the air in Cape town now have an event window...and they pull the trigger based on an excellent forecast.

windsurf companies are not making much money on boards. The increase you see this year in price is from freight (oil and logistics). The cost to get all the raw materials to the asian mfg, plus the multiple distribution "hands" it takes to get those huge boxes around the world now cost big $$$.
