Always entertaining and informative but brother - you need some better rubber! You look like you're absolutely freezing!

I was actually sweating, it is the lack of sun for the last 3 months that makes me look so pale

Yes I know, but my slalom mentor only sails when it is warm. So when I get my new boards I will have somebody to line up with.

Clever. Distract your wife into looking for new boards and sails coming in the front door and, meanwhile, a bunch of really nice fins come in through the basement.

I have a old G10 F2 32 SX that i bought off Steve Stratford more than 10 years ago.

Tried it on numerous boards with different sized sails over the years and never quite nailed it.

I tried it recently on my 105 Rocket with a 5.4 slalom sail to replace my 33 tribal G10 asymmetric and it was close but in the lulls it was sliding a bit and did not give me the drive or lift i needed in the lulls.

I was thinking whilst sailing this fin might be awesome with my 5.0 slalom sail with the same board.

I tried the combo a few weeks ago in 20 to 30knots and with the smaller sail the fin lifted the board so much higher with none of that sliding laterally feeling.

Absolutely loving this new setup.
