Hi everyone. I have acquired all new windsurf foiling gear to try and get myself back on the water again. I windsurfed from about 1982 through 1996 on a pretty regular basis, and only occasionally since then. For the past 6 years I've been chasing downwind paddle boarding conditions on Lake Michigan.
I haven't got the time to chase that anymore, so I am hoping that lighter wind wind-foiling will help me get my stoke back.
I am 50 years old, 6'4" tall and weigh about 225lbs.
My recent gear purchases: Fanatic Falcon LW, Sailworks 7.0 Flyer, Ezzy Cheetah 8.0, an RDM 430 AND 490 mast and a Chinook adjustable boom. My foil is a Slingshot with the Gamma 68 and Infinity 84 front wings and I believe the 42 rear wing, and the Switch fuselage.
I have not been out under wind power yet, as me and a friend have been tow foiling behind my Seadoo to get the feel of foiling and controlling the flight.
Looking for input on how I should set up my foil and where I should start with mast position in the mast track.
Cheers!
