The ones I sail, because it's obviously the best, and everything else sucks.

Alternative answer for sponsored sailers / shop owners "The ones I'm paid to sail, because I'm paid to spruik them, no really thou they are the best (no sarcasm)"

I think most riders get so used to the feel of a brand. When they jump on something else it feels weird and don't think it is as good as the one they already have.
The big thing that influences my choice is reliability. I don't want unnecessary breakages.

+1
I don't think any brand could possibly design a bad product now days. Reliability wise I've had a couple of real duds which were different brands but out of that same factory in Thailand. I had a very good run out of a Kinetic from Vietnam and same with Carbon Art from New Zealand. The other biggy for me is service which I get in spades from both James at Carbon Art and Bud at Windsurfing Sails (Loft). So for me it's Carbon Art and Loft and na no sponsorship from either

Yep. Durability and easy to sail too. Don't like things too technical.

just like my women

Does it have to be what I ride, or can it be what I'd like to ride?

What I'd like to ride:
2012 iSonic 107 - reason - everyone that has bought one has gone from being slower than me to being faster than me. :-(

What I currently ride:
2007 Exocet Warp Slalom 67 - reason I like - very comfortable ride, easy jibes and up until this year competitively fast, but not any more. :-(
