RSiX One Design Windsurfing Race board
Version 1.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whats New?
* Completely reprimed board only the sail textures are the same - new boom, board (now identical in shape to the real thing), fin centerboard, mast track textured sculpt
* New sprays trigger at certain speeds - not a 'NewRate' script where the same particles get bigger or smaller these are independent velocity controlled particles and as you get faster you will really look the business. From a slow ripple to tearing and shredding up those flatwater blasting areas this will not disappoint
* New sound effects sprays and other sounds.
* New catapult option built in - rename any object you own to 'RSiX 1.4 Collision Buoy' could be a prim, rock, buoy, groyne, boat even seaweed :) if your board hits that renamed object it will catapult and require you to waterstart out of it - dont' worry water starting only requires you say 'raise' in chat channel and you slowly rise up out of the water - all catapults are slightly different depending on your speed direction and so on but all end up in the same place with you under the water kicking about- the catapults are animated with shouts and appropriate sound effects and sprays - great fun.
* wind lock - this prevents another windsetter changing your settings - your yacht club race wind remains the same until you stand again
* wind direction hud - its nice to know where the wind is coming from so you can better adjust you sheet/center of effort (COE) settings on the back of the board (the text hud).
* new animations - you are now more outboard and can adjust the new footstraps accordingly as the board is Modifiable the same goes for your harness lines, footpads and boom height all can be adjusted to suit your needs :)
* True wind and appwind - see the winds hud - black needle is true wind
* New 'Escape' command to prevent being trapped between the boom and sail when standing - sets board and rig to phantom for 30 seconds and resets.
==============
This Sailboard actually sails - it is not like a conventional motor vehicle like a jet ski or other windsurfers that you may have used in the past where you use the foward key arrow.
This is a raceboard and as such will complement you existing quiver of sails and boards - this is not designed for jumping and looping.
This is tactical so you can have regattas and competitions - you just need a SLSF startline to race from.
This board is as near as it gets to actual boardsailing.
Olympic Class Windsurfing (or Board sailing) is a serious business.
As this is a 'One Design' Board (as used in the Olympics) it is an international standard raceboard - and yes they really do look like this :)
Based on the RS:X One Design
As you can see this is pretty close to the real thing.
Features
*Modify - so you can personalise it with your own textures - no more buying extra boards
*Gybe and Tack side jumping - you can switch sides during sailing
*Uses secondlife wind and Race Wind available at most yacht clubs in sl
*Accepted as a Race Class by the SLSF and SLSA
*Very realistic looking board and rig
*Supplied with Gesture Pack, sail numbering, harness shorts and bar
*Color changing built in
*Camera hud
*Heads up display on the rear of board to manage your sheet settings
*Modding sails available with my optional sails pack

This here is some grandiose rubbish, the spray "triggers" just as often when its standing still

I can assure you the script is velocity controlled you can see this in the video here. Watch the sprays here https://youtu.be/UDmXviu8nrI?t=1m34s (at 1m 34 seconds when turning they decrease to a normal fin wake and then see how when accelerating more sprays kick in and when planing.

I could be confusing spray with wake judging by the video, my appologies
SO PLEASE IGNORE MY CRITICISM, Great product
surfers get stuck when they stand up after surfing
surfers get stuck when they stand up after surfing on your RSiX RaceWind Windsurfer1.3 Racing #2. what solution do you have for this?
very nice
This is a realistic sailing windsurfboard. Totally different from the usual 'toyboards' on most beaches Keep that in mind when you buy one. You need to understand RL sailing physics.
A few things were a bit disappointing. The wind hud is a bit laggy and the camera hud keeps bouncing my view all the time.
But, great value for money !
Want authentic? Get this one!
Not sure what the reviewer who made mention of "older animations" was talking about, unless perhaps he/she rezzed the trainer version maybe?(comes with 2 versions)
There is nothing old about this build and the animations are top shelf.
Not only does the thing look totally convincing, but it has the performance to match.
Don't be overwhelmed by the assortment of HUD's and attachments!
They're there to make the experience as real as possible and the do the job very well.
Let me tell ya what's fun...fun is trimming the sail to perfection and hauling ass past speed boats...yes it's that fast!
She runs off of SL winds so you have to sail the thing...yes...it's no toy, but if you want to partake in a realistic simulation of windsurfing you'll do no better than this.
And hey, if you want to compete you can! It's a sanctioned sailer folks!
For seasoned windsurfers and curious experimenters alike this is a 5-star no brainer.
Do not hesitate.
well...
...it seems an older product. Its ok, but animationswise i did expect more from a 30 prim vehicle.
Well, but im no Racer, but rather a fun sailer, guess i wont use it much. Sadly cant give it back.
Wanting another 500L for the sailpack seems kind of high, seeing its the same price as the board self (Other creators offer Photoshop-templates).
I used to windsurf when I was younger. Maybe I will again someday:) This sure brings back the memories and the feel is spot on. I could think of more things to add but that would probably make it too hard for some.
It was actually better than I thought this product. So thanks for creating a nice alternative to windsurf for those of us who live in cold countries:) Very cheap price considering the quality.
