Windsurfing: Why it's important to rig your sail properly - Go Pro 12

[@stratosmuse]

It seems you're getting better n better really fast. Indeed you need outhaul and perhaps downhaul tension. You should use harness lines to not get tired fast. Make them really long (30-34) in a way that you can hook/unhook really easy and have space to adjust your body. Even hooked in, with long lines you can control the sail 90% hands - 10% harness to feel comfortable. But don't skip this part during your practise. Bravo!!!🤙🤙🤙🤙

Hey! thanks for the comment. Yes, the problem was mostly downhaul tension. When my vario-top got loosen, I lost some downhaul tension, and the sail felt so bad... My fault for not checking properly the rig before getting into the water! :)

I am a beginner, and I can relate to your struggles. But do share this beautiful location.

Thanks for the comment! Keep it going! Last season I wasn't even able to sail more than 20 meters without falling, nowadays I'm close to only fall on tacks and not always :)

Was the sail touching the boom?

[@juancarlos4006]

Hey, to be honest I don't know, but I think it wasn't. What happened is the vario top got loosen, and I've sailed like I had very low tension in the sail. This caused the sail to feel so unstable.

Location?

[@juancarlos4006]

It is in Moncofa (Castellón, Spain), beautiful beaches, but low wind and a bit choppy always. Glad you can enjoy the video.
