This is one of the most informative windsurfing videos that I've seen
This is one of the most informative windsurfing videos that I've seen. You probably answered ten different questions for me. I've had several good windsurfing instructors but none of them ever managed to explain using the harness and getting into the foot straps as clearly as this.
The best videos!
Thanks a lot from Russia!
This is excellent instruction. Clear, simple, well thought out..... both the verbal instruction and visual cuing. A natural teacher. Our sport owes you a debt if gratitude.
You're very welcome!
thanks again. Currently teaching my young sons and these are very helpful
Thank you so much for hearing my last request "do a video about home training to improve in harness and footstraps" so i consider you the most big "webwindtrainer" ever
You are welcome
Thanks Phil... 👏👏👏, very helpful and detailed, thanks for listen us. There are no one like this on youtube. I will paid the beers/wine 😉
Great video - many thanks
Great stuff as always Phil , thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent as always
Thanks again!
One trick I used to use - particularly in gusty conditions - was to regard my harness hook as a central point of resistance against the wind... then, when a gust hits, I would just slightly rotate the sail pulling in my mast-hand and letting out my clew-hand by just a couple of inches. This would fractionally reduce the wind in the sail. To deal with a momentary lull, I'd let out my mast-hand and pull in my clew-hand equally thus catching slightly more of the wind.
This way I can keep my stance and the mast/sail position the same and I'm only adjusting the boom angle - similar to moving the handlebars on a bike except that is doesn't change your direction, only the amount of wind you're catching!
Excellent!!
Thank you this video very help me
very instructive video, thanks, velmi poučné video, za sebe mohu doporučit všem začátečníkům.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
Nice!
Great video again. Thank you very much. Could you please do a video on How to set up your harness lines. Cheers
Will do
Thank you for this great video. Would it be ok for you to explain how to use a seat harness to make board planning and body stance? Should I change the harness lines bigger? I have 28" lines and have difficulty to hook in and out with seat harness. Also after having planning speed what is the body position and procedure in order to go upwind and keeping the speed?
Hiya Phil. Stay safe.
thanks you too
Excellent video, was wondering if you could use your trainer to show us the difference in windsurfing positions using a seat harness verses a waist harness. I have a seat and am thinking on trying a waist one but not sure of difference in getting into the straps and harness lines. Have watched all your videos!
Hi Cheryl,
The technique should be very smilier for a seat harness. However you will need to hook in when you are a little more powered up and have started to move towards the tail of the board. This is because the hook is lower. I am planning some more videos that should help you to understand this a bit more.
The ion radium harness has a ratchet tightening system which means you can tighten it easily by yourself.
Once it is tight the hook doesn't move at all when you unhook.
No more remaining hooked in when you unhook.
Congratulations for your video. I would like to understand why I can't close the sail and even if I do it slowly, the board goes towards the wind. when I start planing I can't close the sail and I have little stability on the board. Thanks a lot😊
Great video Phil. I'm a little puzzled about the back foot going into the strap. You say turn a little more into wind but as you slide your hips slightly forward to move your back foot into the straps the mast tips forward. Wouldn't this cause the nose to bare away from the wind. Is there a bit i'm missing?
Once planning you are steer the board more using your foot pressure rather than the angle of the sail.
Thank you for these videos, as an improver I am finding them very useful. I have found that when in the harness and particularly on a gusty lake I come out of the harness lines regularly when I move inboard to counter a lull. On my video I can see I either pull on the boom with my arms or raise my hips both of which cause the harness line to come off. What is the correct way to counter a sudden lull in the wind please ?
Look upwind and spot / anticipate the lull. Allow the sail to pull you slightly more upright from the harness. Maybe point the board more downwind for extra power
@@GetWindsurfing Thank you much appreciated.
Thanks for the video, very useful. Will try this when (allowed) out next but all my prior attempts at this resulted in the board rounding up into the wind?! Any tips to avoid this?
The pressure through the mast foot should help. Really exaggerate this along with pushing the board downwind with you front leg.
Thanks for the tip 👍 really enjoying the videos 👏
Happened to me as well. My guess is you step into the footstraps too soon. You might have to gain more speed before moving your feet back and out to avoid turning into the wind
Thanks Julian, will bear that in mind - hopefully I can crack this (when I can finally get out again) 👍
One thing confuses me. When you pick up speed, move further out and back on the board the mast leans backwards. Why does this not steer upwind?
Then another question. Yesterday I managed to sail comfortably using my harness for the first time, it was great! The wind was light, maybe 4m/s. It seemed that when I hooked in I started to steer upwind. Could this be due to harness line positioning or what?
Thank you for your videos, they really help out!
When you have more speed and power and / or when the board is shorter you will steer more with your feet. Pushing more with the front or back leg or carving more with the heels / toes to engage the boards rails. Try to think of the sail as your power source that you redirect with the body and legs through in to the board.
If you are going upwind too much try to push the nose downwind more with the front leg.
Do not step back on the board too soon with not enough speed or power.
maybe the harness lines need to go further back?
Thanks for the advice, very helpful as always! Just one thing I noticed that could be misleading in your video: when hooking in, never move towards the sail with your hip and body. Pull the sail towards you (in your case: not possible due to the sail being fixed to the strap)
Do you have a plan to film about up and down wind technique in planing condition?
Yes we hope to film this soon . Just waiting on equipment to film it on
@@GetWindsurfing I am really looking forward to it
This is nice. I noticed that you have a foil board in your simulation. It would be great to have some instruction on selection of foil, board and learning windsurf foiling for people interested in taking to another level.
Yes it's a foil board. I shall look at doing a foil video for you
Is all of this making sense using a board with a dagger board?
Parts are relevant. It is more suitable to a board without a daggboard.
