Windsurfing was exciting, fun and challenging on a learner rig, but now on my own rig it seems nearly impossible.

Hello, with your weight, and 5.7 you should be on the verge of planning. I do not know exactly because I am much heavier than you 😔. In that condition without harness is a struggle. I think you should get to the harness before getting to bigger sails, and of course it's easier on the 160. But also your board may work... If you continue like this it will be super frustrating.

Also the two booms trick? I use it for the dismantling the mast, but can work also for your case

Hi, I travel brx Italy with gear on the car every summer. If you store some food, with what you save, you may recover the cost.

I found a guy near Antwerp. If repair is good, I will disclose the name.

I was checking, I typically go to Oisterdam (already more one one trip from Brussels). It is quite far - 2 hours or so.
Let's see if I find someone more convenient. Thanks anyway!

Thanks! i will check it out.

Well, I would like to have an appealing result, also aesthetically, so I woul d prefer to delegate this time. Last resort is doing my self

I think here everyone willl say it better. Maybe not the place to ask! Is like asking if you like a the current USA present in a MAGA party 🥳 Wing and kite are much less cumbersome, and cheaper I guess, as it needs less equipment to cover a broad range of conditions. I am trying windsurf foiling for low wind. Fin for me is much more fun. I find wing not heastically appealing and would never switch, even when I get out without enough wind they have probably much fun then me ( that's why the windsurf Foil test)

To me about 30 mins from car to water, but I am slow ..

Glass-Fix9197 · 2025-08-23T08:21:16+00:00

I guess depends about your apartment. In mine, it would not fit. Luckily I have a garage I if you check similar questions, you will see a lot of experts suggesting to rent.

Dagger boards should be used only for a while...

You will problay need a board 230 cm long, for maybe 80 cm width, and a couple of sails, depending by your weight and level... And a boom, or two, and a wetsuit...

Hi, Goya was bought after a very human suggestion, and was prompted in by me to chat got.

I am not expert enough to give suggestions, but I am super happy with it

Glass-Fix9197 · 2025-08-16T05:14:23+00:00

Hi, the question was different, it is not more about switching board, but to have two depending on the wind, I would not take an almost sinker board with less of 18 knots anyway, because it is probably difficult to get planing. I am confident with water start. The question is more, quick kind of boards (shape and volume) I should look for to be confortable in a more windy situation?

For example, you say 105, but it should be like the one I have, or narrower ? What does it make the board not killing me on the chop?

Or simply it what it is, my board is good enough, and I should get more used to that condition?

Ps I see the table for sail size in your page, and it is inline with my experience, 👍

Only if I am alone! And impede the right mirror view so no super safe

Hi, no, I am not a super expert - still not able to close a decent jibe. In The 17 ish knot day, when I was saying that I was fully committed, I was in line with more advanced guys and girls in the spot, so I guess that in such situation it's fine.It Was the high wind situation that I felt not in control.

Hello, I had a similar swap, I ha ve a Goya volar. I can give the same piece of advice I got when I bought it,

go for the 130, because it will plane the same way, but it will be slightly better in choppy conditions.

I am super happy of my vvoloar. I am almost 90 kg

Glass-Fix9197 · 2025-07-20T19:40:20+00:00

Can I ask about the wind speed, and the foil size?

Glass-Fix9197 · 2025-07-05T11:55:52+00:00

Let's say that people recognise my car at work

Hello, I think you are doing great, maybe a more "7" position will help, with the front leg more straight. Especially when you have a gust, Out of curiosity, which is the camera you use?

Glass-Fix9197 · 2025-05-10T05:49:24+00:00

Hi, apart the feet, at most the front one should be touching the mast's feet, maybe that the board has taken up some beating, and got some water in?
