emil,

No one likes pumping, except for the workout benefits. Many of us pump because we want to plane as early as possible. In light wind, gusty conditions (inland lake sailing), two guys on identical...

Kiting simply appeals to the younger crowd more than windsurfing. It has that "exciting visual appeal" which as it turns out is easier to learn, so a teenager or young adult is more apt to be drawn...

I can't speak for the one board sailors other than they probably don't consider it to be fun on something bigger, so they try to make the best of it in marginal conditions.
For us multi-board...

Roger,
Here is an update. I started grinding down and found that although the smaller than hair line cracks in the paint were not just superficial, but did go down to the foam in one but not the...

Sailboarder,
Yes, it is tail walking. The early stages of tail walking is much as you describe, but the nose is lifting and with enough speed and wind (+ apparent wind), the board will take off. ...

As PG said...........
On wide boards, hitting the "lift off mode" can be achieved pretty easily. Sheeting out is disaster, so it's counter intuitive to keep the power on, but you must keep...

Yep, that's one way we did it in the 80's and earlier. I started (bought a board) in late 83.
The problem with the tie on system you mention is that the rope length and knot had to be exactly...
