a short clip from yesterday at Wynnum, a few good crashes
Jumps always feel higher than they look in the clips, will have to work on that.

Would you recommend the X-Type?

Yes I would, has a great wind range and has a more locked in feel than a wave sail,
I think it's ideal for Bay blasting and bump & Jump in Moreton Bay.

Stan, Nice I liked the gybe where the board took off down wind don't you love that.
Try raking the sail back more for better speed.

Should I be trying to close the gap then like old school?
but not learn out over the water and try and keep the sail in line with the centre of the board.

I love watching clips of the local area...I find it motivating as a newbie to the sport...Something too look forward too that's for sure.

Stan, yes close the gap as well but feather the back of the sail out as the gusts hit.
If you wanta go fast or not still better way to sail stays more locked in less turbulance under the gap I feel also rig with no gap less extension helps.
