I stopped the video at 3:26 . It clearly shows the boom attaches to the mast in the bottom half of the cut-out. - so the boom isn't too high. And at 32 inches the harness lines are not too short. I ride with 30 inch lines and my boom is in the top half of the cut out. You need to drop your hips lower and away from the board (it helps if you do a stomach crunch). Could your lines be too far forward ? It's hard to tell from this angle. When I am blasting, I usually find I am actually pushing the boom away with my front arm to sheet in. Am pretty sure you are still pulling with the front arm which makes me think you need to move the lines back - this will allow you to drop your hips down, out and back with an extended front leg.

You know Jake I was thinking about you today and I know you use a waist harness and that's probably the reason why you have your booms up higher than normal. I thought I heard you say at one point you were trying a seat harness and I can tell you that is the harness I use the most especially for speed sailing. It requires you to rig your booms lower but it's much more comfortable when sailing and going for speed. You should try it along with lowering your boom height. Once you get used to it I think you will like it better than the waist harness. 🤙

Dude, if I May give you some tips? 1 -Your boom is too High 2- Your harness Lines are too short. Boom hight should be between shoulder and nipples. Harness Lines should be as Long from the Elbow to the Fist. Now you are Sailing on your Arms and you can't stretch your Arms. That's why there bended. When the Lines Long enhough you are using your Weight to put the Sail in Balance. Then you have much more Control. When you have a big Gust you Probebly Will be katapulted. When your Lines are longer you also can stretch your front leg and bow your back leg. Now your stance Will be much better. Watch some video, s of other dudes the most Will Ride that way. And your speed Will also increase. Good luck whit that. My stance was also not Wright for a Long time. Lucky enough an other guy told me. I improved a lot. Keep up the good work and enjoy your time on the water. Greetz Martinez

Thanks so much for the pointers. I have wonder why when seeing the videos that particularly my back arm is bent. Lines are at 32, and will get some longer ones, I think the Severne Red go to 36 or so. I will lower my boom first before buying new lines though. Thanks again!

Looks like a nice spot. It's great that you have so many places to sail over there on any wind direction. We didn't have that luxury on the east coast in Ft. Laud. You had to go to Miami... Virginia Key or Rickenbacker Causeway depending on wind direction. Or you could just keep going all the way down to the Keys!!!!! But sailing off the beach in Pompano taught us how to sail in the ocean in the waves which is a whole other ball game than flat water. But you can't beat flat water for all out blazing speed runs!! 👍🤙

@@gusthunter8780 You are right on the doorstep of planing through the jibes! Just remember... SPEED is vital to planing through the turns. The more speed the better! Move your Back hand down the boom a bit and sheet in... Knees bent, Keep your weight leaning more towards the nose of the board as you carve. I would say you should even try to exaggerate that part more than you think you need to because it helps to keep the board flatter, thus you don't sink the tail. This also helps to keep the board planing through the turn because your weight is "centered" over the middle of the board not over the tail of it. Keep the mast a bit more away from your body as you carve and sheet in.Then you just need to time the sail flip and bingo, you're off. Keep grinding!!! 👍🏄🤙

Hi, what do you mean by closing the gap? Do you mean bringing the clew down to the back of the board? If so, I'm strugling with that as wel. What's the technique? Thx.
@gusthunter8780 3 ай бұрын
Sheeting the sail in is what is meant by closing the gap...at least in this area. And yes I also thought it was raking the sail back too, but as explained to me it is really sheeting in by getting further out and back and the key that helped me is that you go into another planing mode by taking pressure off front foot and pushing on the fin with the back foot. The sail does rack back as you do this, and then you get the riding the Fin feeling people talk about. Feels like next level of planing....Hope that make sense. My goal is to try and have the bottom of my sail sheeted in or over the leeward foot strap to have "closed the gap".

@gusthunter8780 3 ай бұрын
Yes, I got some great advice recently that really helped. New harness lines that are stiff and not sloppy that bounce all over. Got some severne adjustables 26-32. Get my backfoot in the footstrap earlier when getting on plane, and once fully planing really trust the harness and push outboard on your back foot against the fine and not so much through the front foot once fully planing. That I think was key in keeping pressure on the harness. Fully Commit to Harness! LOL anyway that worked in my head, and once in that position the chop is easier to handle like a shock absorber with legs while pushing against fin with back foot. Surprisingly it works and feels secure.. Next level of planing!

I’ve been ridding for a few days the new 2024 Starboard Futura 120 this past July and I have as many good things to say about it as you do with your new Carve! I assume you are using an insta360. How do you make sure it doesn’t come loose/unthreads from the mount. Just got one and haven’t tried it yet on the water but I’m thinking the thing could easily come loose after a few minutes of heavy vibration. What’s your experience with it? Any advice? What mounts are you using? Cheers!

Jake, I'm watching your shorts videos latest one about jibing. You need to stay sheeted in more with your back hand as you carve. You're spilling to much wind (power) because your sail is too wide open when you carve. Trying staying sheeted in more as you carve with your back hand. Move your back hand down the boom more when you start to carve and keep it sheeted in... Knees bent, constant pressure on down wind rail. Sheet in with back hand!!

Ok ... just curious because you seemed super happy with the Goya. The sharper rails will be good on flat water in lighter winds but when the wind picks up they won't be as easy to jibe with as softer rails especially if you get into swells or choppy conditions. But if you still have the Goya you can just switch boards I guess! I'm also curious as to how they cut 5 Lbs which is pretty impressive but I'm wondering if the construction is strong enough. It may be that the new technology can withstand more now than in the past but it used to be ding prone on the super light weight boards in years past. Anyway, happy sails brother! @@gusthunter8780
