This makes all sense. Very obvious in side-off. In side-on, I'm rarely overpowered on the wave. The one thing about bigger sails is that they take longer to move around so everything is slower.
Yesterday I had an ultra-light wind session. I used 105L and 5.0.
The waves were very nice (thanks Nicole!). Only big issue was that inside the break there wasn't at times enough wind for a quick waterstart (7-13 knots). So it was best not to fall there, I just swam out before trying (current stronger than wind).
Obviously very vulnerable over the break, timing, luck and balance were the only available tools to work with! What a fun session though, improves wave reading abilities tenfold ! _________________ *NEW* - Manu's Windsurfing Blog, The STORE! |

Side-off?

Unless you've got a lot of power in the sail, yes. The effect isn't as pronounced as in pure sideshore, but the wind is still being disturbed. _________________ Michael
