As a side thought , for convince , wouldn't it be be better if we all used a three pulley hook and sails only had a grommet hole . That way , the ropes would be pre threaded , just hook into hole and pull rope ? Add a swivel hook and all ropes will align perfectly with all sails and extensions . Why is this not a thing ?
Totally agree with u
You can use a while line instead, it slides better. Try keeping the loops parallel taking care of not crossing the line when passing through extension pulleys.
The top batten should be completely pulled out of the mast, that's a universal cue that the sail is well rigged, sometimes extends to second batten from the top as well.
That boom looks maxed out . The sail needs six inches more downhaul . Then six inches more outhaul .
" Captain she cant take anymore , she's breaking up ".
Looks like the extension has undiscovered adjustment ![]()

Last but not least , the bottom batten needs a tug .
All is not lost , If the boom has more in it , it could work.
ps , my two main advices at this stage is , 1 , replace the rubber joint that connects to the board and 2 , only onshore winds .
Its awesome and worth it ![]()
pps , for learning you need a whopper of a board . The blue board in your pics is way too small for now .
Hi Imax1,
Whopper of board, I was sick of low speed, maybe my skill was not good. Also, I don't have much time left. I mean my age, many things on it, surfing, kitesurfing, sailing boat etc.
I finally started to get use to the Veloce 120.
Like one guy said, fast as hell.
Thank you.

Totally agree with u
Swivel hook 3 pulley blocks are hard to find these days. Most are fixed as in Decrepits pic.
Hi all, I ordered a 3 roller pulley hook as decrepits' picture.
Will arrive before August.
Thanks again!
For me, feedback means respect.
