Beautiful new sail it looks like! If I may suggest one thing that can help while I'm looking at your video: It seems that you could make your harness lines a bit longer with a performance freeride kit like yours. Why? - It will make your hands grip closer together on the boom (The width of your shoulders) and should make your sailing less tiring with less front or back-hand pressure to fight against - It will also allow you lean back a bit more which will help you load the fin with your backfoot, resulting in more speed and more control especially during overpowered gusty moments You will notice also that as you are riding, your rig will naturally lean back a bit more and you'll be able to sheet-in and close the gap between the sail and the board for a more efficient sailing.
Ahhh! I have been trying to but without luck sailing with my arms shoulder width apart but end up farther out and having to use brute force to sheet in. I will go longer and commit my weight outboard next session and see if I can get my hands just shoulder width apart. I am finally at a point where you have said makes sense to me and actually understand it. LOL. I am trying to break 30mph and this may push me over that barrier. Thanks so much. Your advice is welcome anytime. That video with the Kiter filming you was really good!
@@gusthunter8780 Thx 😀. For the harness lines, just extend them a little at a time - 1” or so - and make sure that when you commit to the harness lines while reaching, you don’t feel more pressure from the front or the back hand. If you do, move the lines along the boom by 1/2 increments until you can hold your boom with a relaxed grip: if you have too much front hand pressure, move the lines forward a tad and vice versa. If you understand how it should feel, you’re already halfway there. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers!
