What length harness lines should I be using for wave sailing? I'm 6'2, perpetual intermediate, absolutely love wave sailing. Been using 32 inches for years, but a pro told me my lines are too short.
I don't think 32" is short, it was considered long some time ago. I have the same length. But between brands there is quite some difference (e.g. dakine being shorter then MFC).
Most intermediate wavers are around this length. Some pros have longer (e.g. Pare), some shorter (TT), it all depends on feeling.
I think longer than 32" might be beneficial if you do one handed backloops, other then this I don't know what would be the benefit of going much longer.
You're tall so maybe longer
then if you're barely powered lots of the time you're running the boom higher maybe so yeah longer for sure
Don't listen to the pros! Many don't have the ability to relate to recreational sailors. If your 32" have been working well, stick to it. Otherwise, try a different size and see if you like it more.
I'm 6' with short limbs and 32" are borderline, longer will be more efficient.
180 cm and 34''. I am not jumping though, just an occasional forward every now and then.
