Worlds 99, New Zealand, how did the boats really perform?

A totally independent PLAYAK.COM rating.

Wavesport Forplay 7
Riot Glide/Slice 7

We would have liked to make this comparison for all boats that entered the contest, but we currently only know the boats of the Top 5 paddlers. If someone sends the complete list of info to the PLAYAK.COM editors, we'll put it in a spreadsheet and do the complete calculations.
