I'm too old, too out of shape, and too far from water to ever try this. But It, the sciences and technologies unlocking that science I find fascinating(and fun to watch).
Used my new SLS 4.0 for first time this weekend- love it! Felt like the power for pumping was even better than the old Slick (I have a 4 and 6.5 in those) As a newish Wingfoiler with no windsurfing or kiting background the boom originally made me nervous but now I much prefer it even to the hard handles on the new Units.
Hi. Thanks for the info about the Duotone Wing. Great to have a boom especially coming from windsurfing background. Personally I have F-One Strike but one day I will get this Duotone. What kind and size of the foil did you use? You were almost flying. Regards Norbert
I love my 4.0 slick sls, the only issue i have is that my hands get bad blisters from grabbing the boom. Am i doing sth wrong, should i try an easier grip? Or wear summer gloves?
Make a conscious effort to grip the boom/handles but don't squeeze the boom. A relaxed hold is best. Long hours will can cause blisters. If you are not using a harness, you might want to try one, it will take the load off your arms and hands. Gloves are good for the short term till your blisters heal but gloves can cause forearm fatigue. Hope this helps.
