Re: Drift launch - running out lines

Having had my lines snag on submerged rocks and tie themselves up when not under a little tension, plus having the assumption that to drift launch I'd have to be going on offshore or direct Cross winds, I'm going to stick my neck out and say I'd never bother with either. That said, I always fancied ...

Re: Straps instead of footpads

Could you show some examples, what is straps and what is footpads? Assume we are solely talking TT boards. I don't fully understand the definitions but curious :D Footstraps are more like windsurfing board straps, which you replace separate from the deck padding. They're thinner in cross sectional ...

Straps instead of footpads

Is it just me that doesn't get on with footpads? The tendency toward wide moulded straps means that if my foot is loose enough to pivot when switching directions, it feels super insecure and any tighter and I can't picot enough to relieve knee pressure). I have some H2s that just fell apart (strap f...

Re: Waring on Foil Mount adhesive

:o you taped a foil to the bottom of a board and expected it to stay there?! I don't even trust VHB to mount my Trace sensor, let alone a foil?!

Re: Where did stopper balls go?

You need a stopper to do any variation deadman, or any kind of move where you do a board off and pass the board around your body. You can also use the stopper to play air guitar, point both your fingers into a gun shape and do a double handed air gun while you go "Pow pow pow" with your mouth, and ...

Re: Foilers vs Kiters proportion now

Never met a foiler. I did meet a twin tip guy down at New Brighton during the week who checked out my foil as I was setting up and he asked what is was, as he had never seen one before. Mad or what? :-o Not sure if it's a UK thing, but they just don't seem to be common at all - I've seen them all o...

Re: Why do Foils Howl?

It'll be imperfections in the foil shape setting up oscillations. In super stiff items like carbon wings, there's little or no damping to take these oscillations out and they can build up rapidly. andrzejwodejszo has the primary answer here, it's almost always going to be from the trailing edge shap...
