Give us a bit more info, what sails are you using and whats your weight. I can tell you to set the straps right out on flat water and you might need a smaller fin in 20 knots plus.

Combine it with Gaastra you have what many world class sailors use today! Could that be bad?

Sure mate, at least u should feel like one when ur riding the gear . I buy loads of Steve Allens gear wenever he comes home, n the first thing I do is to take his gear out without changing anything, so to feel his settings n see how different it is to mine, n to c if it improves my stance n technique. then i jump out of myself n feel the gear as if im him. gee, that world champion feeling is good!

well padi if bjorn dunkerback lived in oz then yep i would be after his secondhand gear ! but i guess i will settle for others seconds or the once in a while brand new product !

now , seriously, i think i have to update to using a better mast for the sails and other equipment to max out the sail to full potential, i do watch techniques of others ! one in particular is Linda who sails at the train at southport, her turns and cruising style on the board well umm outclasses all or most of the guys i am afraid !!!!

how ever i do say since sailing the tabou 69 i have made quite a lot of progress in technique, speed control, turns, and general control overall.
thanks for the feedback padi
Jason
