I was on a 4.7 NP Alpha wave sail. It was well suited when the wind was over 25 knots, but not much guts getting on the plane around 20. This was on an 84l board, and I'm 80kg.

I used my 6.7m NP RSS (3 cams) on a 80L slalom board & 31cm select slalom fin- it wasn't very comfortable. Then a 5.2 m NP Saber (camless) which was very nice for the conditions and even that was being maxed in the gusts.

A range of sails from 4.7 camless to 5.8m race sails were used (eg RS6 - 4 cam)

For the conditions, camless sails 4.7 to 5.2 were good or 5.5 -5.8 cammed race sails. I think Rick M, who was doing the speed runs, was on a 6.2m RS Racing for the whole time.

I was on a 5.7 Severne Blade, initially a 80L Starboard Evo and then changed to a 95L Goya One. Not sure what size either of the fins are but I know they were both too small and made getting to the inside buoy a pain in the rear (could have been aiming at the wrong one which maybe didn't help)

I had a 5.0m KA Koncept up on a 90 litre slalom board. I only weighy 74 kg's and I was way overpowered in the gusts. I tried a 29cm fin which was actually pretty good but could have done with a 32 or so when the wind dropped off. I spent the last race of the day slogging when everyone else was mainly planing due to the drop off in the wind.
By the way Bossman was out on a 6.2 and absolutely FLYING.

Hey Guys,

Alot of you are putting the fin as a real important part on the gear set up.

I never thought that a fin would be that critical.

Hopefully at the end we can get the ultimate set up, we can build the monster is this possible or is this only a dream??

Kind Regards

I started the day on a 6.8m 4 cam North Warp Race sail. With 36cm Slalom fin (SL2) on a 110L Falcon Slalom Board.
When things started to get out of control, I changed down to a 6.3m sail of the same model, and changed my fin to a 34cm Fin (SL3). Same board.

After slamin my mast into the nose of my board in a blown gybe, I retired the whole rig and sailed for a short time on my 95L Fanatic Freewave with 26cm fin and 6m no cam North Xtype. Was underpowered on the Xtype as the wind started to drop.
Earlier i was a little overpowered at times. but hanging on was half the fun!!!
Until i smashed my new board.
