   messen Sie den Abstand, aber ehrlich, wenn Sie in windsurfing kommen möchten, liefert die Flosse den ganzen Aufzug, der benötigt wird, gegen den Wind zu gehen und der Centerboard hindert Sie gerade an der Planierung, also, einen neuen Centerboard ist zu kaufen eine Geldverschwendung…, was Sie wirklich sind ein shortboard benötigen (schwimmendes genug) das einen Centerboard irrelevant bildet.

   I am not familiar with the Hi-Fly 700 but it is very likely that this “universal” centerboard will work. My suggestion is that you confirm it contacting The House or Hi-Fly at and ask them this same question. In any case, ask the seller if you can return it if it does not work.
   The only question that remains is how superseded is the board you have, and if it is worth expending the money, although it is only $45.

   As far as the daggerboard itself, it is very important to use a longboard with a daggerboard. The daggerboard DOES provide a lot a lift and it is very important for somebody learning, in order to be able to go upwind. Since the daggerboard is retractable, you can lift it when you go downwind or when you are planing sailing across the wind.
   I sail longboards which are great for low wind days or cruising around the lake. I even compete in some regattas with triangular courses, and the daggerboard is one of the most important parts in the board to the point that I have two, one just for racing.
   Even today’s beginner boards, although much shorter and wider than the older long boards, come with some type of daggerboard, fix or retractable.
