New Big Winds Product Comparison Tool!
We love helping people find the best gear for their needs, and we know that shopping for a rig can be an overwhelming experience. For instance, in our current 2008 lineup we have more than 30 types of boards from six manufacturers. Each of those 30 boards includes numerous sizes and constructions, such that we currently offer more than 150 different kinds of boards.
Yikes, that’s a lot of options! How does one even begin to go about finding the right board? At Big Winds we love chatting with our customers, either in our store or on the phone or via email, and getting a really good feel for what sort of gear they really need. In addition to our own personal experience with the gear, our expert staff make their recommendations based on all sorts of variables like rider height and weight, skill level, favorite conditions and preferred riding style.
To help you with your purchasing decision, we’ve put together a handy series of comparison charts that will let you quickly browse and sort through products that share similar traits. Whether you’re looking for a 90 liter board, a 5.2 meter sail or a 400 cm mast, these new tools will make it far easier for you to zero in on your options.
Check it out! On our usual category page, we now have a sidebar that offers some common product comparisons:
If you click on an option it takes you to a list of all the products that match those criteria. In this case, we see all windsurf boards between 90 and 100 liters, sorted by volume:
Here’s the gravy, though. If you click on any of the column headings, it will instantly resort the list based on the items in that column. If you want to reverse the order that a column is sorted by, simply click on the column heading again. In this case, we’ve resorted the list based on price, descending:
Cool, eh? Our comparison tool is currently available on the following products:
- Windsurf Boards by Volume
