I've been finding it hard to get comfortable lately. I'm getting used to a new board .
It doesn't help that it's inconsistent winter wind..one minute 5kts then hanging on in 20kts. I assume some of the problem is just the ever-changing wind strength and shortness of the gusts..
The board is longer and narrower than my others and I feel it suits a more upright forward sailing style with a lower boom.
If my boom goes from chin height down to chest height will I need shorter lines?
I use a seat harness with 28 -32 inch lines.. I think they are at 28 at the moment. I'm 168cm tall.
I usually have my lines further apart than most people but I have them even wider now to snub up some length.
I usually sail in the harness all the time ( unless it's 5kts) and it feels like I need the front line further forward in the light subplaning stuff and back when the stronger stuff hits..The wider lines help a bit with this..
It's not really feasable to move them back and forward for every gust..??
Anyway between the length issue and fore and after movement it's hard to get comfortable ( and adapt to all the other subtleties of the new board).
Any tips?
Ps I absolutely love the board and everything feels great really powered up but I'm rigging for the gusts so that's not that often..
