Great tutorial! I recognize the ‘nibbling and pinching’ when I surf back to my surf spot. If I do it right, there’s no need to tack. Keep up the good stuff!!

Sailing upwind is maybe the most important skill for a beginner as it's about safety. Thank you! 🌀

Thanks a lot for your great videos! Is it possible to get some advices about fins (sizes/types)? Would be great! many regards!

General rule of thumb is stick to what is supplied with the board when it's bought. For example this 133 Carve came with a 42cm free-ride fin; it works perfectly. Starboard’s website shows fins supplied with each board; which can simply be used as a recommendation of what to grab if you're not sure! windsurf.star-board.com/windsurfing-boards/freeride-racing-windsurf-boards/carve-freeride-windsurf-board/

What size fin where you using for that rig set up - 130L and 6.0 sail in those conditions? I weigh slightly less than you. Also for your future videos could you pls include fin size with your rig setup and wind conditions. Thank again

Are you at an intermediate level? What board did you go for? I ask as I am at a lower intermediate level and don't have a board and sail yet.

As always - a big thank you for these videos. They have really helped my windsurfing this year. One thing I noticed is that your front hand is still back by the harness lines - I always tried to have it nearer the mast to tilt the sail back, which leaves me chugging along really slowly. I need to get out now to try it your way (the right way!)

@Cookiesports 10 ай бұрын

Getting your front hand back to the harness line helps you keep the power ON. Having it right at the front/on the mast is helpful when actually going for a tack- but not so much when just trying to make progress up-wind.

@pmoleri 10 ай бұрын

As explained in the video, when going upwind your sail won't push forward as much and will produce more lateral push. Unless you have a big fin you'll need to tilt your sail forward (or more vertical), you do this by leaning your whole body forward (even while in the footstraps). If you find yourself pulling too hard with your front hand, either the harness lines are not in the best position or your body is not pulling in the right direction.

Could you go a bit more into fin size and design. I switched to bigger and straighter one after my stride of pride 😅 Although was probably more to do with poor tuning of the sail and going into the no go zone. Thanks Cookie!

@@Cookiesports thx that confirms my suspicions, my board came with three different fins. The previous owner said he put the short on so it wouldn't hit the rocks! Cheers brother

How do you realize, you're close to the wind when you're nibbling your way up wind?

@Cookiesports 9 ай бұрын

Loss of speed &starting to drift sideways, rather than progressive ground up-wind. The “no-go-zone” is far bigger than people realise. Start on a beam, and slowly see how close you can go.
