weight
I was talking to a guy I learnt to windsurf with over the weekend. He said he had lost about a stone in weight and noticed a definite improvement in performance of his kit. So . . . . . I weigh about ...

You have to be going fast enough so the sail and the fin support your weight and the board can flatten out, otherwise the weight you put on the windward rail will always turn you up wind. The secrets ...

People say how much their trailers weigh and how much tongue weight is. How do you find this out? I'm suspecting a bathroom scale won't help.
I say it is way too small, it won´t hold your weight. Better try something bigger, like 3 meters (or more than 120 liters).
Good luck,
My weight is 65 Kg. I'm athletic enough and I have a Techno 273 125 liters However is a big when the conditions are good

I missed out to provide my weight : 130 pounds and short guy with 5' 3' do these affect my selection of fin. I generally sail at wind condition of 15 -25 Km/hr. Flat water in Hong Kong.
