Anon,
after watching some of the ...Thanks Patrick.<br /><br />Anon,<br />after watching some of the photos (specifically the ones in the transaction between bottom and top turn), I thought it was way too low too. But then in the bottom and top turns (when the sailor has to be bend like a cat rather than stand straight) it looks allright. Nonetheless, I have already raised my boom one inch in the last three sessions.<br />I haven't found and advantage at all.<br />Not even much disantage either, other than a slight discomfort when slogging in very light wind.<br />So, thanks for the tip. I'll keep working on that, but what's good for one doesn't necessarily apply to others.<br />Mark Angulo puts his boom very low, for example. <br />It's a matter of personal preference...<br /><br />Tony, thanks. All this practice is slowing paying off. I still honestly think I suck compared to the good guys and I think I should be way better than I am, but when you move to Maui at 38 (and start surfing at 39!), that's what you get... I'm stoked, no matter what. What counts is the fun that one has. And for that it really doesn't matter how good you are... but it sure helps!<br /><br />Another factor that is helping is that I'm sailing Hookipa more consistently. Watching the pros from so close and so many different angles does help a lot. The other day I was in the water after I fell on my wave and Francisco Goya did a turn right around me... my god was that a great thing to watch or what? Never mind the wave that wiped me out right after that...<br />Good luck with your recovery!cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-7812616538943932152009-10-25T12:49:31.719-10:002009-10-25T12:49:31.719-10:00I concur, great top turn (or whatever is called) G...I concur, great top turn (or whatever is called) Giampa.
