My windsurfing kit was set up perfectly today and it was all an accident! I was perfectly tuned after I moved my harness lines back 1/4″ and the booms slid a cm or so and landed at 48″ (bottom of base extension to middle of clamp) which is lower than I intended to set it. I could do my very favorite thing—drop the sail to leeward, sink the rear lee rail, and ride upwind easy as pie. Hum, have I been rigging my booms too high? I think so!
Last night I dreamed I was about to give a windsurfing clinic—a group of happy and eager faces looking up at me—and I looked out over the ocean with its nice even crumbling waves and I was happy.
The Goya doesn’t seem to want the mast back as far as the rrd wants it. The Goya is tres loose.
I tried the new Hansen H-Wave and the V-Wave on the Hansen mast. The H-Wave is smooth and powerful and the V-Wave is EXCELLENT for tricking. I want one!
