You told me exactly what I needed to hear in order to understand how things work as well improve my technique and that makes you the best teacher in my world. Keep up making similar videos. The camera position is perfect for learning imo…

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Thanx Ljupcho, i Will try to made another video Tutorial, do you want to learn something in particular?

[@ljupchoshopov7872]

@@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL it would be cool to see you do a tutorial on heli tack, whenever you can 🤙

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

@@ljupchoshopov7872 ok, is not easy, only we need to focus on the tecnique. I will do it

[@sergiopereira2876]

Very good explanation

[@GioGio78530]

Very nice video and great explanation thank you for doing it. 👍

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hi Giovanni, Thank you very much, is a pleasure to share that knowledge !! Very soon we are going to put a tutorial for the forward loop. If you want some tutorial for some move, please let me know. Big Hug

[@pierredubois3967]

Impresionante, nunca he logrado planear tan rápido con tan poco viento utilizando una vela tan pequeña, excelente técnica, felicitaciones, saludos

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Gracias Pierre, nos alegra que nuestro tutorial pueda aportarte algo positivo. Hay otros pequeños piques que se usan, porque todo dependen del peso del rider y equipo que use, en base a eso, se ajusta la técnica. Abrazos !!

[@pierredubois3967]

muchas gracias, si algún día visitas Guatemala, avisame

nice board :)

[@Westcoastwindsurf]

Hi Dario, I’m about to buy a new board (106 JP AllRide 2018, 63cm wide), but I’m a bit concerned about how early I ll be able to plane on it. I was able to get my old 135 Tabou Rocket 72cm to plane in 11knots, do you think this thinner board will require a lot more wind? I’m only 70kg by the way. Thanks

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hi Pavel... for that board.. you can use size sail 6.0 meters... with your weight, and if you have good tecnique, you can plane with 15 knots good. I have 72 kilos, and i usualy use 90 lts freestyle board with 5.4, and with 16-17 knots i can plane.

[@sthlmsurfmaffia9211]

👍😎

[@mavanfgulo]

I'm not profesional but I have a few years of practice in my bag. In my experience, I can enter the straps before planing only when the wind is strong and the sail is larger than needed or when the board is at least 50 lts more than my weight. In both cases, once planing, it's not really fun.

[@glentarachow951]

That happens to me too, when I forget to put the weight on the ball of my feet, instead of my heels.

[@rdashian6475]

I accidentally learned to plane on a board with a centreboard when I just started surfing. I'm a pretty small girl and at first I didn't even realise what was happening, i just thought I was going really fast😂

[@adrs2]

I did the same I just wanted to go faster. The centerboard closed and it started to plane. Instructor asked me why am I playing with beginner boards and where is my harness. And it all started...

[@FreshWaterWindsurfer]

I am looking to buy 92L severne psycho freestyle board. I am 70kg's. Would I get planing in 15-16kts with 5.2 freestyle sail? Or should I buy the 5.6 instead? Thank you!

[@sailspl]

If you want to do any freestyle on this board dont go bigger than 5.2

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

In principle with a good technique, you could plan with that wing, you can try to tune it if you see that you are too over the limit, leaving it more baggy, the wing can generate more thrust. Also if you are too over the limit, you can move the foot of the mast a little closer to the tail so that the sail has more leverage. Hope that can help you. Anyone you can write us

[@jip2971]

you put your foot in the footstraps before planning, for me it's impossible on a small board (less than 110l and 70 wide) unless you're really very light, me if the wind is strong i go down wind, i pump, I go back and I put the front straps then the rear straps if the wind is more light, I recede more gradually, it is only on really wide boards that we can put the straps without being really planning

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hello, thank you very much for participating, the tutorial gives tools so that everyone can use them to be able to achieve the planning, obviously that the weight of each person influences a lot. I weigh 72 kilos, let's say I am an intermediate weight. The technique for someone who has physical conditions similar to mine would be the following. But I love that you share yours, if you want to give me more details and I see some stings so you can accelerate that. Thanks again for participating

[@wisecoonie]

@@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL this just won't work on our lakes in Zeeland (South Netherlands). The wind is much too gusty to be able to put your feet immediately in the footstraps before getting planing. Moreover, on my free race/slalom boards, the straps are really off center, close to the rails of the board. The only technique which works well, is the classic one - one or two small pumps, commit to the harness, push the board off wind, engage the front strap, take some speed and step into the aft strap. All the while not weighing your heels.

[@allagreta9990]

I bear off say 5 degrees off the wind simultaniously keep the board flat and sheet in the sail …there you have the wanted speed and then with the same speed you bear upwind into the heading you started with (no whatsoever hectic pumping needed) GUARANTEED

[@stefanoneri4475]

la marca della tavola? Star-fish Eco freeride 130 ?

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Si, es Star-Fish Eco Freeride

[@kwaterny]

14-15 kn and 5.4 sail? Impressing. I need at least 6.5 sail together with 135 vol board.

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hi Savesaab, that tutorial is about technique, that why with 15 knots Dario can plane with a 135 board and 5.4 sail. If you need more explication, you can send us a whatsapp: [phone], Best regards :)

[@kwaterny]

@@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL Hi, thank u for response. I hope u did not get me wrong. Your technique impressed me much that is why I posted you.

[@comet315]

The sail is 4.5 not 5.4

[@DidBer]

@@comet315 exactly wot he said but inverted in description. 5.4 hardly exists (Spy Freeware 2020)...

[@GioGio78530]

Where do you teach Dario?

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Im teach in Pocitos- City Montevideo - Country Uruguay, and i travel to Argentina, Chile, Brasil and China to give clinics,

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

In Pocitos - uruguay and in Brasil - Jericoacoara

[@bobvandeburgt]

where is this?

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Is in uruguay

[@SAM-sm8uj]

Would I be able to plane with 15 knots a 3.5 meter sail and a 85 liter board

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hi Sam.. what is your weight and age please?

[@SAM-sm8uj]

Dario Ghandour my weight is around 40 kilograms, I am 160 cm long and I am almost 14 years old

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hi Sam.. i think maybe you can plane.... because your weight is really litlle. Try with a 4.0 or 4.4. I think it would be better. What type of board do you have? Pure wave or freewave?

[@SAM-sm8uj]

Dario Ghandour pure wave

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

4.5 would be better for this type of board and liters. You would need power. A sail like the AIR would be good this model push a lots.

[@CharlieCushing]

How on EARTH are you able to get into the straps and maintain your point of sail while subplaning like that?!

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hello, thanks for commenting. With respect to your query, easy, keeping the mast upwind, that helps balance your weight with the weight of the sail. Try it and then tell us how it went.

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

It's technical, remember ... windsurfing is pure technique.

[@allagreta9990]

It was just enough wind foor his weight and his gear. Simple as that. You weigh 10 kg‘s more its all different

[@nepter6]

Would I be able to plane with a 4.7 sail, 115 liter board with 25 knots? Oh also my weight is around 45

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Hi Nage, with your weight, you will plan easily, but with 25 knots, I think you will be with a lot of power for that equipment, possibly a smaller board and sail would be more suitable for your weight with that wind.

[@nepter6]

@@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL yes I will be changing to an 85 liter board and a 5 meters sail. Tell me your opinion BTW I live in Cyprus limassol so you can check out stuff if you want to see how it is there and maybe give me an advice

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

@@nepter6 mmm with 25 knots... i recomend you more 85 lts and 4.0 sail for your weight.

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

@@nepter6 Hi Nage, i think for 25 knots, is better for your weight, an 85 lts and 4.2 sail. Cyprus es a really nice place to sailing.

[@hermandebeer8389]

With that kind of conditions i use 85 l with 4.5/5.0 sail. 115 liter is too much

[@GrumpyOldMan9]

In a place with lots of palm trees, who needs a neoprene hood, ever ?!

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

With 7 degrees.. well for me yes. But you surely you don't need 😂.

[@Tounga69]

Super accent mec

[@team3383]

If there is enough wind to use a 4.5 sail AND plane there is no need for this.

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Team33 sorry, is a 5.4, if was a 4.5 he don't need to use a Board to big, you can see the ocean to calm .. this Sail is the model Air and have only two size. 5.4 and 4.5. Big hug

[@walterl2006]

I think the video started well but in my opinion, that "perfect english worman" voice ruined it. Indeed, you should do it in your mother language and not for some international audience. Even though, thanks and cheers.

[@STAR-FISH_INTERNATIONAL]

Gracias Walter, pero bueno, este video fue pensado para un evento international en china. De todas formas gracias por tu opinión. Abrazos !
