Good evening, folks. So, I've been searching for a way to transition from waves to wind. Took some lessons a few years back, had a skinny old Tiga in San Diego which I never got the hang of, got some "modern booms and an old Hi Fly Spirit 345 (no mast base) off of a junk pile, but, as of today, got my hands on a mint Original Wayler- complete! "Fun for the whole family"! It even has the original intro manual! I know many are already saying, "why?" But when the budget' s tight and the price is right... at least it'll get me in the wind! I've got another beginner lesson booked with Zu Boardsports and feel like I've read and watched everything available but I wanted to put it out there to see if anyone's got any advice for essentially a 40yo new guy. Thanks for all the reading material thus far and is a modification for a Chinook mast base something that I should look at for the future? Anyway, stoked for now and Cheers!
