I am still in the 1980s as far as harness lines go...so very useful... I think people should wear harness and lines even in light winds to get used to the equipment....better to accidentally book in in a light wind .. perhaps?

No, I don't like the instruction. I don't understand why teachers can't explain what is planing. This is something a beginner or intermediate will experience with any sail size when all of a sudden the wind gets very very strong like 15 or 20 + knots. What happens: a.) The sail starts to "buzz" and make sounds b.) The is key. The board starts to slip and slide. c.) At this point, it get's scary but this is when you can start planing. d.) Instead, of trying to keep the whole board on the water, what happens now for control is to "lean back and pull" the sail to do like a wheelie on a bike or skateboard. e.) Now, you are riding only on the tail of the board. At this point, know it acts like a true surfboard or snowboard. You ride on the tail but also on the edges. Heel toe. f.) Control your fore/aft balance by quickly push/pull the boom towards you or away. At same time, lean back or squat down(bend back foot knee) for additional control. It is absolutely impossible to "start" with your foot on the footstrap if there is no strong wind. The best you can do to practice is "pull back" on the sail so you lift up the nose. Then slowly sink but that is the feeling that you need to practice. You are muscling back the sail to lift up the nose. When you have proper wind and you are "not afraid" or "expect" this sensation then you will can progress.

Nice to hear, Hope that already works out.

I really hope those tips will make the difference for you. Enjoy your time on the water 🌊

Sure, it's on my list. Just need some new clips and then to make the tutorial for it

Never too late to change it! Hope it works out and you have fun on the water. 💪🏼💪🏼🏄🏄

Thanks for it! We will try to make it better in the next tutorials. Have fun on the water.

Hello Pier, first of all thanks for joining the channel. The board was actually an old board which got replaced without issue. The boom is a custom boom made in Greece, which is designed by the maker and also some changes by my side to fit better for my sailing. I use always 30" harness lines but I have sometimes as a backup 28". 30" are feeling better on choppy, wavy, or light wind conditions. Thanks Pier Manolis

Thank for replying, I met someone who had such a boom recently but don't find the brand on the net ! @@manolischrysopouloswindsur9556

Παρακαλώ, ελπίζω να βοηθήσει 💪🏽😁

Thanks 🙏🤙

Have fun! 💪🏼🏄 Thank you.

Thank you 😁. Keep shredding

Thanks a lot! Hope those tips will help you 😃

λογικά ξέρεις το kite praso?

Ohh yes, I do 😁

Probably, when you go switch, you give no pressure on your frontfoot or you don't press down with themast hand. These are two reasons why you head too much upwind. One more could be that you pull with your fronhand close to your body and you kill your speed. Try again and let us know if it works. Have fun

You're welcome 😀 Enjoy your time on the water and I hope my tips will help you 🏄

Οπότε θες εννοείται! 😁 Ευχαριστώ πολύ.

Hope these tips will help you and for sure with all of them you don't need to push your back that much. Also the equipment development requires new techniques from the rider. See you on the water 💦

Yeeeehaaaa

Thank you my friend. Good job 👌

You're welcome 🤙

Yes, exactly, the thing is when you ride small sails 5.8 and under you definitely don't put them wide as you lose all the sense and manuveer ability on the sail. Also on bigger sails you can put them a bit wider, but just a little. It's quite personal but to get into new staff on freeride and advamce your rig should move. Cheers 🤙🤙

The spot is in Rhodes island, called Prasonisi which is actually my homespot

@@manolischrysopouloswindsur9556 Is it KOS in Greece or Rhodes Island near Boston? I see Boston when I search on Google Maps. Your name sound more Greek than Amarican :-)

@@windsurfing_is_a_way_of_life It's next to Kos yes.

Ευχαριστώ, ελπίζω να βοηθήσουν. 💪

Glad to hear. Shred it!
