My weight is 85kg
Windspeed. From 5,5 to 9,5 knots (3-5m/s)
Board: Slingshot wizard 114 v3 (114 liter)
Sail: Severne blade 5,3...wrongly rigged with less downhaul, but not less outhaul to make it flat and full...like a blade
Foil: Neil Pryde Glide wind medium slim, small stab, long wind fuse, carbon mast 75cm.
Experimenting a little with apparent wind wingfoiling. Basically the theory goes like this:
Small but fat board has less wetted surfice and less suction on the surface, so it foils before it planes.
A smaller sail is more effective to pump and has less windresistance once up and flying. And its lighter.
This is all common knowledge but here is the gamechanger...(that not all will agree with..)
A smaller foil is faster and you create more apparent wind so you pick up more speed. More speed means more apparent wind and so on.
But it makes it really really hard to get up on foil and fly. You need to use "every trick in the book". Pump really hard and fast in a circular motion with the sail, syncronizing with the board pumping after waiting for the right moment, timing both the waves and gusts.
Повторяем попытку...
