We had another good day here. I spent most of the time with a 4.5m sail, while Joe was on a 5.0m as he broke his small boom so couldn't rig anything smaller... The wind was a little too onshore really, but most people had a good sail.

Full details in the diary as usual.

Anyone else get out?

got out with a 6m and my new board after work friday, and the wind dies again, so spent an hour trying to fight the rig as all it wanted to do was luff up whatever I did ! !

I had that probalem when I first started sailing my Max2Air, whatever I did, however I trimmed the sail, mast track etc all it ever did was luff up into wind. Not sure how I sorted it, but some of it was to do with being too overpowered (yep, even thought he wind was light) and the rest was just some minor stance adjustments I think.... These widestyle boards are a bit different to sail. The don't like being loaded up too much, overfinned or sailed from the rail, but like to be just pwered up, with a small sail and an upright stance.

I think my approach will be to stop using slalom sails on a wave board

hmm a new 6.2 wave sail...........................
