The 3 Stages of the Duck Tack 

Awesome! Love to hear it. Where was your school based in the 80s? Sounds like it was an amazing time for windsurfing back then.

Thanks dude, really appreciate it

Thanks :) Yeah that's correct

I'm sure that can be arranged. I'll add it to the list :)

That would be great.. your attention to detail is so very useful @@willnicholls5

No problem :) If the sail is pushing you off the board backwards it means that you have too much power in the sail. The way to reduce that is 2 things: The first is to go faster, the more speed you have the more apparent wind you have, which reduces the power in the sail. The other thing is that the position of the sail could be too far forward. Once you have 2 hands on the new side of the boom and you're back-winded make sure your body is forward and the sail continues to move towards the tail of the board. This will de-power the sail. The way I sometimes think about it is as if I'm trying put the power of the sail behind my hip or my pocket.

Thanks Ivan. In this video I was using the 105 and the 100 but now I use just 100. I’m 86kg.

Hey 👋 The sail is a 4.8 Severne Freek (2021). The board is a 101 JP Freestyle board (2019). Fin is 20cm K4. Boom is a Severne Enigma 150 - 200. Mast is 400 100% RDM .

@@willnicholls5 Thanks alot. I'm about to buy my first own gear (I've been Surfing for 8-9 years now) and I want to get a Severne Gator 5.0 or 5.3 to Start with some basic Freestyle moves but still be able to plain and freeride a bit. Do you think that is a good choice? The Board would be a Fanatic Freewave 115 or 105.

@@thux7227 This would be a decent setup for freeride, learning to jump and carving "old school" freestyle moves. In terms of jumping freestyle moves it's much easier to learn using an actual freestyle board. It depends what moves you want to learn?

@@willnicholls5 Ok. Thanks alot. Appreciate the advice!
