Where should I put the harness lines?

[@richardm9688]

I know this video was made three years ago, but I thought it was very useful and well explained. Thank you for making it!

[@krestofferlang65]

Never ever stop filming... great job! Thx!

[@Cinquocinq]

I just wanted to congratulate you on your instructional videos. I have been windsurfing on and off since the early 80s, but have learned so much from your videos. I think they're there best on KZbin. Keep up the good work!

[@GetWindsurfing]

Thank you

[@cheepchoop6402]

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the great info

[@FelipeRodrigues-lj1el]

Thank youuuuu, I love your videos! Hugs from Brazil

[@GLOCKDPLUSFlowriders]

Excellent thanks, also from England originally. Haven't windsurfed for over 20 years. Back then we had harness lines further apart on the boom, about where our hands would be. I loved to get feet in straps when going fast, and remove both hands from boom, letting the harness do all the work. Is this even possible with the harness lines so close together? Many thanks.

[@plasticpunch]

thanks for the tips ..how do i choose the length-size of the lines?

[@theylive1999]

Great content.

[@GetWindsurfing]

Thanks

[@Joseph-fj4uh]

Good idea these ground sessions.

[@RobManser77]

Great video, thanks 👍 I’m learning the harness with a seat harness - how long should my lines be?

[@thomasb.8802]

Top video! Could you please make one about mast foot position? Especially for surfers with only one board who would like to use different sail sizes.. thx!

Great video, thanks

[@pierreclot5609]

one question through,Shall it get windy, is the fence not on the way ?

[@windsurfingatmeerwijck]

Did you try to find the Balance point whit a 9.4 Sail? Pretty heavy dude..

[@willnicholls5]

Nice one! Would you always recommend using the harness before learning to get into the footstraps?

[@GetWindsurfing]

Yes, absolutely, You could experiment the other way around but harness first is the best way to progress learn and understand in most cases

[@호호-l9d3h]

thanks for good info

[@GetWindsurfing]

My pleasure

[@7cheesy]

I thought the centre of effort would be relevant to the shape of the luff, type of battens sail etc rather than the weight of the rig?

[@loskiff]

As I windsurf, I constantly have tension in my arms, I can't really rely on the harness and this cause of course a lot of fatigue. Do you have any suggestion on how to get relaxed and release the tension from arm? I think it is due to my harness lines position

[@windsurfingatmeerwijck]

Are your Lines Long Enough?

[@gyzfr6]

i love the sight of someone planning. But it seems everytime i load the sail I overload my back and my legs, i finish with excruciating pain and about to quit altogether. last time i loaded so hard my legs that my calves cramped, never ever happened in my life.I just dropped myself in the board and took 5 min break to bring myself back onshore.

[@GetWindsurfing]

Thanks for commenting, Cramp is always horrible when it happens, for me it’s when I’m very tired or need food but it could happen for a number of reasons. Same with the technique of planing…there are many different things that could be affecting what you mentioned. I could be hard to identify what it is exactly without seeing you windsurf. But I have some suggestions for you to try and see if it helps… 1. Make sure the harness lines are balanced, find a position that allows you to have your weight evenly distributed through your legs when blasting. Experiment with moving them forward or backwards slightly and couple cm at a time. 2. Try changing equipment. Possibly smaller. Change one thing at a time to really feel the difference the changes make. Try a smaller Fin to take some pressure off the back leg. If you struggle to still plane or go upwind put the bigger fin in again. Try a smaller board. Try a slightly smaller sail. Like I said before it’s very hard to identify the issue without seeing you sail but these are some suggestions that I hope can help. Maybe send me a video of you windsurfing or come and join us on a clinic. Good luck Phil 👍

I live in Ravenna-Italy. Do you teach only in UK?

[@GetWindsurfing]

Hello Luca. Currently we are based in the UK while the world is suffering with covid 19. When it is safe to do so we will travel again 😊. We usually run courses all around the world in many dream destinations. You can see some more details on our website www.getwindsurfing.com/courses-abroad

[@marcosferrenosuarez6740]

Genial : - )

[@JuelZ925]

With that boom you cant go wrong wity the harnass lines

[@2009bernat]

man, the center of mass is not the center of drag with the wind blowing...

[@GetWindsurfing]

Not exactly but a good starting place to get it in the right area

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

Your lines look too short to me. Half the reason your harness is riding up. Really bad in the surf as to can get stuck hooked up.

[@GetWindsurfing]

I'm using 30inch lines on the spare boom in this video. This setup works well for me in freeride and foil setup. For wave or freestyle setup I use 32 inch lines.

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

@@GetWindsurfing Sorry if I sounded overly critical. Your tutorials are excellent. 👍

[@GetWindsurfing]

@@Hotwire_RCTrix no need to apologise at all. It is good of you to share your thoughts with us.
