Pumping onto the plane is a truly neglected topic in windsurfing. Thanks for bringing it up. Nice to see how you "get low, to go" to make yourselve easy on the board. Also nicely visible starting at 2:51 you drive the board downwinds at around 20-30 degrees angle. Keep up the excellent tutorials.

As a freestyler i'd recommend putting both hands behind the harness lines (as far back as you can). That gives you much more power to pump, since you can use both arms to pump instead of just using the back arm. And of course go downwind.

@Aijse 4 жыл бұрын

Nice video once again, just what I need. The part where you mention you start with a bent front elbow and extended back, is a bit confusing. I do not really see this back when you are in the water. Also it feels awkward for me if I do it. Moving both elbows at the same time feels more natural. Can you explain this a bit more? thanks!

In lighter wind I can pump onto a plane as discussed, but can't stay on plane for long. Oh well, guess I should use 5.8 instead of 5.3 to keep the plane going. Otherwise, any tips to maintaining the plane in marginal conditions?

For me usually in light wind it also helps to put the hands quite close together. What's your take on that?

@florianbauch3581 4 жыл бұрын

Sure, this way you stay away from the sail and have more amplitude for each pull.

@hardymanboy 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Nico, the problem when i try to pump is that by board is going slightly upwind.. or when i get planning, the board isn't planning enough to go in the straps and go full power..

@florianbauch3581 4 жыл бұрын

Most people try to get planning on a beam reach (90 geg to wind direction) which requires a ton of wind. The Pros like Nico go 15-30 deg. downwind and oncle planning go back up again.

Nico Prien Lots of sail pumping was always necessary in San Diego, even on the biggest gear. I haven’t windsurfed in almost 18 years but would love to get back into it - I bet these new boards are noticeably more efficient in marginal winds. I have no interest in foiling, though! It’s impressive how early they plane......but I would miss the water contact way too much.
