Quick How-to video:




OK. I've got the colours I want ,how do I get an image of it to post to the Gpstc?



I would suggest change to "Compact View" mode and take a screenshot (prtscrn button on a windows PC) then just paste it into the post.


Compact View is a layout that was specifically designed to be nice to screenshot.







OK. Thanks. I'll try that next time we get wind.

Nice feature for the user to be able to change colour, but I do like looking at other peoples tracks with default colours as I know straight away what I'm looking at when I see red (speed) blue (nauti) and so on.


I mainly wanted the 5 x 10s yellow so you could see them.🙂

If you want to learn freestyle you need an ~80L freestyle board or smaller at your weight.



But then they wouldn't have the same versatility in chop or riding comfortably in speed..I think

RS2000, from what Obelix has just said, it would be helpful if you could post a video of yourself sailing. Also video your gear. How you have rigged it. eg: How high you have set your boom ?, using a seat or waist harness ?, how you have set your sail ?, and on what type of sail ?, base track position ?, the fin you are using ?, how you have setup your straps ? etc. So we can all ascertain your current style and skill level, and the water state you are sailing in for 17-21 kt. Asking on a forum with writing only is a bit like the 3 blind men and the elephant. A video will give a lot more description.





Hiw can I upload videos
There are options only for photos



Just copy/paste the video's URL into the body of the message, and the forum software will embed the video into your post.

I also want to say, Windsurfing is a human-in-the-loop sport. I have a ended up developing a front footed/lines back style, and run smaller than recommended fins due to shallow and weedie spots I use. My style really suit's JPs FSW boards. But, I'm not sure what your style is ?, or even if it has fully developed yet. If you use an incompatible rig with the JP FSW range, it will be a horrible experience. A video will answer a lot of questions about your rigging and style, and the water condition at your local.




Thanks a lot
Video is coming

But I cant copy the video it says unsupported file .if you can help me again it would be nice .












Are these photos of the conditions you will be sailing in or at the windier location on holidays?

Two cameras. Seriously. One on each side of the boom, either at the tail or at the head.

Harness mount - it sticks out backwards at 60 degress (from horizontal), can use a go-pro but IMHO a 360 cam is better.

Mast mount pointing towards the nose of the board - Ben Proffitt uses this a lot.



Firstly will the harness mount work with a non 360 camera and which one do you use.



Whizmount..great with a Go Pro. I haven't used mine for a while. I have the hero 9 and on the wider view its great to capture the whole of the board . It still shows the chop and doesn't flatten it to a millpond like the 360 cameras do.
I don't know if you can still get the Whizmount but it's like a camelback mount.
The harness mount they mention.
You still need to be aware its there beachstarting .I've never damaged my gear but I am careful.

It lines up with my Severnes ( 2017 - 26). I feed it through rather than loop it due to narrow space above the pulleys.

Probably not an issue with these masts, but NP slightly reduced the diameter of their SDM masts at one point and then the sails were also made to work with the slightly reduced diamter mast. I did not realise this at first and found my newer sails were not rotating on the cams well and researched and found this info out and got a new mast and the sail now rotates beautifully. The sails seems to rig nicely on the old masts still in terms of sail shap etc. but the cam just had a lot of resistance.


I think Severne did something similar at one stage?

How bad are MUF Delta fins. I have one (19cm) and have only sailed it before at Budgewoi (Isonoic 97 and 6.2/7.2). I find I really struggle on it because I am used to have a solid feel of a good slalom fin. I can't put much weight on the back foot unless I am really powered up, so I find myself not really enjoying my sailing except the big gusts. How much of this is just shallow water sailing with any shallow weed fin, and how much is the quality the Delta fin? Would my experience improve with a better fin?


I like to be able to push on a fin.I hate MUF deltas . Atomic nuclear weeds are great but I go 2cm longer than recommended. Crank upwind and stick like glue even across the channel.
That's a bit of a downer at Budgy as I use a 22cm in my 90ltre which can be too deep in the flats.
I have been using a custom 16.5cm Pepe in the 95 but I have to be careful not to load it till up to speed.
Love my FFs although they aren't that fast.
Other people love the MUF and atm they are probably faster and better in the thick weed. A friend said he had sanded his so it wasn't as thick at the rear edge and it seemed to help spinout etc.

Just dropped it in to get fixed. The crease isn't right around the rails. The bottom is fine so we're just doing a band horizontally.

Agree Decrepit’s post. This is an opportunity to pull the rocker back to where it should be and could end up faster



Faster is something I realise every one else is whenever i go for a sail🤔

Yep its still got the handicap of me on it..😀

Causing a major crease….? Not seeing the link ?





I figured if there is water getting in, a lot of water, it may cause this failure ?

I've always suspected Sue to be a cheese roll queen. She does not advertise that fact, because she does not want to hurt our feelings. But this is proof now 🤣


Cheeseroll with a log finish..😜

I hit a log ages ago but bounced over and kept going..I didn't notice any damage except the fin was really tightly wedged in the box..maybe it started there and has got worse..🙄





That would be it. Visualise the fin lifting tail up violently and board held level with the balance of mast mast pressure / planing force upwards on the midsection.


I was surprised the back of the board hadn't ripped off..It was a big piece of timber and I hit it hard..Thanks goodness for raked delta fins..🙄

Pity , that is a great board, did my best hr and alpha with it


Yes..I'm getting a loan board re test to buy but the RS2 is like a comfy blanket that I like and trust..( silly simile(?) ) but you get my meaning. 😉😁
I'll probably get an ugly repair on the RS. Was someone joking when they named the RS slalom line? 😆
I love it's plug and play, comfort in small chop and gybing. I got rid of my 87 ltr Isonic ( faster by 1- 1.5kts) to prioritise comfort and fun.😊

Anything is fixable. Just cost vs benefit huh.
that’s a big one so def don’t use it. And do get it fixed by someone who can vacuum bag and do it right, it’s very stressed there so a bog line and glass over will just break adjacent to the new work.



Just been talking to someone who does repairs. He's got a Carbon Art I can try. If I don't like that I can get a durable but ugly repair done..

My favourite board is looking sad.
I just noticed the crack and line across the tail. It's a bit soft around the line but the underside looks ok.
I'm thinking about getting someone to fix it as I don't think I'll be able to get another one.

I use a twin cam on my 90ltre freerace..
I like the way it holds it's shape off the breeze. 😛
I don't like the way the breeze can catch the profile and blow it away once you fall off.🙄

Sounds a bit like my problem. Can you update it?
I did that and it's worked fine since.

I just checked the boom and end widths between the original slalom end 160 - 210 and the custom one.
Looks like the only difference was the wave
end .
Now it's got the pulleys on the end .It's the same width all over and at the end.

Sorry , I forgot.
Here are some pics.
I hadn't really thought about the end. It's still the narrower wave end.
I still prefer the lightweight and narrow grip. My earlier 160-210 had a wider end.
I like the lisa pulleys but they don't fit with the freeride sails. Gators etc have webbing around the clewhole and they can't fit through. I use applecores on a different boom for them.

I've just had Severne make me a custom 160 - 210 made with a 3D printed end for an adjustable outhaul. Love it!
I bought the next size up when they changed boom ends to a wave end.
I hated the bigger one. Boom diameter was too big and it was too heavy for me compared to the 160.
