I just spray a bit of WD40 when I feel it sticky or squeaky and clean the excess. It got me in the water every time.

It's been bad. Another windless October, just like last year. Hopefully November and December will be better. And what is "windless"? For me less than 6 knots. For most kite and windfoilers it means less than 10-12 knots, and for non foilers it means less than 15 knots, and for waveriders it means ...
