Location: Emerson Point Preserve, Palmetto Florida
Equipment: 2024 Starboard Carve 169L, 9.2 Severne Turbo GT, 24cm Delta Fin
My first return to where I was stung by a Sting Ray 3 months ago. I was a bit nervous!
Worked on closing the gap with my sail, as best I could with a Delta fin, pushing to hard caused spinouts. Raced around with a couple Kiting friends. Did some German Jibes on the sandbars. Also, got some jibe practice in as well. That water was so flat! Wind was pretty steady about 15mph. It was a fantastic day on the water....and I was the only windsurfer out!

I wish I could windsurf as good as you! How did you mount your camera?

@gusthunter8780 3 месяца назад

Thanks! It is a Insta 360 X3 camera on a Flymount with a 6 inch extension. Mounted on the mast.

Nice to see you are enjoying every bit of it! I'd be curious to know how long is your extension behind your Insta360? Are you using a cage and tether of some sort? Are you using a lens guard? Thx

@gusthunter8780 4 месяца назад

Thanks! So for the Insta mounts, from the end of the boom I an not using any extension, just connecting the Insta to the FlyMount. On the mast I am using a 12 inch extension with the Flymount. I do use the Aluminum cages they make for insta 360 as I feel it is more secure using the GoPro style connection versus the Insta 360 screw on deal. Hope that answers your questions.

Also I am not using any protective stuff over the lenses as that tends to fog or hold water droplets.

Nice video, we were at Palma Sola on foils. Move your harness line back to prevent spin out, backhand pressure will cause spinouts.

Thanks for the tips as always!

Hi, what do you mean by closing the gap? Do you mean bringing the clew down to the back of the board? If so, I'm strugling with that as wel. What's the technique? Thx.

@gusthunter8780 4 месяца назад

Sheeting the sail in is what is meant by closing the gap...at least in this area. And yes I also thought it was raking the sail back too, but as explained to me it is really sheeting in by getting further out and back and the key that helped me is that you go into another planing mode by taking pressure off front foot and pushing on the fin with the back foot. The sail does rack back as you do this, and then you get the riding the Fin feeling people talk about. Feels like next level of planing....Hope that make sense. My goal is to try and have the bottom of my sail sheeted in or over the leeward foot strap to have "closed the gap".

Thx! Very informative. Next time I'll be trying this myself 👌

@ignacevanbuggenhout6353 4 месяца назад

Fyi, I'm following your channel as I'm more or less your level (bit less) and a pretty heavyweight rider. So, I'm looking at your gear as well as your technique. Perhaps you can follow me to as I have posted some video's as well 😊

@gusthunter8780 4 месяца назад

@@ignacevanbuggenhout6353 Yeah that sounds great! Windsurfing heavy weights have a different experience than the average weight guys. I will be on a 9.2 while others are on 7.5s LOL!

Great video. Check out this video, as I think Cookie is explaining what you’re describing as closing the gap…and he’s done some other great windsurfing technique videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mj3eIFpZN4M.htmlsi=GG_cVjvw4LnnXdep
