Two questions:
1 - What are the big planks on the sides of the boats? Are they 
daggerboards? and if so, why are they on the sides of the boat, rather 
than on the center of the hull?

2 - Why is there a guy repeatedly sticking a pole in the water at the 
1:44 mark (approx.)  Is he checking the water depth? Trying to paddle to 
make his boat go faster?  Spear-fishing for dinner?

Ok. that was more than two questions.

Nice video.  Now I want ot go windsurfing again.  sniff.
