Re: Wing vs regular windsurfing sail

Concur with Grantmac's points. WingSUP is harder on your hands/arms/shoulders due to the increased friction with water. It's fun, it teaches wing handling, but for excitement, it pales in comparison to wingfoiling. Ask me anything about wingSUP. I spent enough time at it. Lol! Highrocker I agree wi...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCS1q8oxGGE Great video, Highrocker! If you were able to cruise around at that brisky pace in those low low winds , at times as low as 8 km/hr, without a foil, it is beyond my wildest expectations !

Re: Wing vs regular windsurfing sail

What do you mean by a 'retractable centre fin'? Is this anything like a sailboard centreboard? This isn't one of those little centre fins that things like Starboard Start boards have? I suspect they are not going to do well. The Kona boards have a long, high aspect/high performance centreboard and ...
