Hi all,

I'm wondering if some of the experts can give me some feedback on my windsurfing. Second season, about 20 days of riding. This was really light wind, maybe 4-8 knots with 2 foot swell. Sailing a kona one design 7.4m sail. Looking to understand what I can do better in these light winds.

I was very concerned about oversheeting because of the low winds. My thought is if I pulled in more on my backhand, I would have stalled. I also didn't really feel like I could have leaned back as there wasn't enough wind for the sail to support me...

The wind picks up at 55 to 56 minutes when I was also able to ride some of the swell. That is the only semi-interesting part of the video, I think.

At 1:07:50 I pull up the daggerboard. Does this look like the right way to do it?

At 1:10 I went on a run - and it felt like the board was super tippy. Should I have put my daggerboard back down?

I find my sailing on a port tack (left hand leading) is much better than on starboard tack (right hand leading) - I can generally get hooked in when there's enough wind for it on port tack, can lean back, and don't have to really manhandle the mast. On a starboard tack it feels like I have to be really aggressive with the mast, and feel a lot more tension through my leading leg. (Unfortunately the video only shows my body position on the port tack this time, oops!)
