“Patrik Diethelm was in Luderitz two weeks early and had some good wind, so managed to get some good testing done. He is a rider who likes quite a small board. You can see a massive amount of twist in his sail. He likes a lot of power down the course and carries a lot of lead – more than most – at least 12kg. He isn’t small, but is one of the lightest of the big hitters.“
