Hi Roger,

Thanks for your reply, i meant to say that the board taking water on the EVA-soft deck, and not the actual core of the board (i have sealed the vent plug), before i use my 4.2m sail it seems to glide along but i noticed when i use my 6.6m sail once it is semi-planning (in very light wind) a rush of water seems to get on board from either side of the board (about the middle) I dont think my weight would cause this problem, my mast foot is in the front and boom high for early planning and foot straps in the intermedate position, i have not use a harness at this stage as i have yet fully planning.

I suspect the problem is to do with my technique or maybe the fin?

Please help/
From Michael
