Q4:

How
much wind do I need to make the Snowfer go?
It requires very little wind to move with a Snowfer. The bottom
of a Snowfer board has a waxed hi-tech base with little resistance
on snow. Because of that there is a minimum of drag on Snow. On
ice there is no resistance of the wet body of the Board. For that
reason it is twice as fast as a windsurf board on water.

Q8:
|
Does
cold temperature affect my Windsurfing sails?
At my experience in winter sailing since 1985, I have never
damaged a sail or seen anyone's sails damaged because of cold temperature.
All new sails bare cold temperature very well. Ultraviolet rays
from the sun do more damage to the sail, than cold temperature do.

keeps body temperature very warm even on those cold, frosty days.
