In the April issue page 35 of Wind Surfing there is an Advertisement for a
board called "Pro - Tech Signature Series Mike Zejicek race series". I
would love to get some comments on quality, durability, sail handling/etc
of this board. My experience of quality with boards built by Mike is first
class, how does Pro-Tech compare? Thanks
