Tack development with a hand wing....the dreaded tack. Hope this can help someone to see my failures in this journey.
Yep, that is exactly what I mostly do for heel-to-toeside tacks. On toe-to-heelside tacks I’ll sometimes use my head and/or
The trideck is ok in grass but excels on pavement. I’m not sure it is much more superior on grass than a conventional NB.Dave K wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 6:02 amNice tutorial. Interesting how these forums always seem to generate endless discussion on gear options, but very little if any talk on skill progression. Saw another nice post on doing duck jibes with no responses, but all kinds responses to winging with an Onda 633. Oh well, we humans will be forever gear obsessed over skill obsessed.
0nly thing I might add to the video is something that doesn’t get discussed much, “inherent roll rate” of the wing. Wings with more dihedral in the shape (think of the original Duotone wings) tend to roll over very easily and quickly and on there own during a tack. Flat wings with little dihedral will roll much slower. If you tack all the time you will certainly notice it. If you hardly ever tack it will never enter your thought process. Riders who mostly flag out in waves and downwinders want that flat wing (very little or no dihedral) that flags out with perfect stability, sometimes not even realizing that a perfect flag out wing might be harder to tack.......
I really was intrigued by the use of the Tri-deck 3 wheeled land board in the video. Looks like it would make a workable winging board for hard pack sand and smooth grass fields. My mountain board works great on pavement but quickly gets stuck in anything softer unless I’m way over powered. Wonder if you’ve tried it on grass?
I just put a 360 camera on a regular surfboard mount and tightened it as much as possible. I tethered it as well just in case.
