Consider....
Just a couple years ago, most top PRO LEVEL Formula guys tried the idea of unhooked for all downwind action!
Now talking races, not practice.
And racing, it's not a long leg upwind, like some practice sessions or CalCups. Waist does just fine, as you see almost ALL wavesailiors and Freestyle guys use WAIST harnesses all the time.
Allows more weight on the legs, if need be, to control the board more actively over rough water and gusts/holes.
If you go into the middle strap on downwind legs and unhook, it's rather a gas compared to all other downwind sailing.
