Or the finger if they don't wave back.
I remember a guy telling me stories about hot summer days and 30knots in Minot. I don't know if he found a place to sail there, or had to travel ...

Actually, the good kitesurfers on waves that I have seen lead with the kite and they follow...so to do an off the lip and not get dragged out the back of the wave, you have to have the kite already he...

Wow. Thanks very much for the review.
I have found Robs boards to improve my sailing greatly. My wave riding has come from tepid to amazing on these two boards. If anyone is curious as to why I...

Have you been using shortboards, or only sailing your Wayler? If you have what I think you have, a wave board is a huge change. I don't think you'll like it yet. It would be a big jump ...
On wave sails (or any sail where you take out the foot batten) you can mark the optimum position on the batten with a sharpie or other waterproof marker. This keeps the length indicator with the sail ...
Hi,
I'd like to try my old wave board, but it has a A-box type finbox and I can't find the tab and screw that attaches the fin to the box. Can I buy those in a hardware store or surfing ...
Currently I own a Arrows 430 Lance 10 (10% C), I've been offered a new Arrows 430 Wave (90% C) for £200 ($278). Does anyone think this would be a wise upgrade or would my money be better saved f...
...f small for 10 to 20.
5.7 is quite small for a Techno 283.
The Core is a full on, down-the-line wave sail, not well suited for all around use.
The stock Techno fin is 48cm and should be in...
Hey Dan, Tigertail Park is the place to sail on Marco (NW corner). Good waves (for the gulf) in the right conditions. Also Deleanor (sp?) Wiggins State Park just North of Marco can have good wave sail...
I know it's not what you were asking, but I remember a mag article about tandem wave sailing from about 10-15 yrs ago. Craig Yester (is that right?) and some other guy on the north shore of Oahu,...
I think it's a total old school fallacy (myth) to suggest that the material of the board is the biggest parameter as to how it will ride in chop. Board and fin design are the main parameters. Tha...
A windsurf rig has much more in common with an aircraft propeller blade than an aircraft wing. If you look at a GE plane's prop the twist is almost identical to most sails.
The weird thing is ...

On top of it, sail size is not just a function of wind speed but also of current and wave size (e.g at my weight a 6.5 is enough for around 15miles/hour wind with no swell, but it i...
