This video aims to explain the differences between volume and floatation for wing foil sinker boards and how you can predict for a given volume how far you will sink on the water. I also explain why the original technique of standing upright and sinking the board is a waste of energy, and cover how you can modify your technique to make this significantly easier. Finally I briefly cover what you can expect with sinker boards when there is little or no wind and need to get back ashore 0:00 - 1:22 Introduction 1:22 - 2:22 Past experience with Sinker Boards 2:22 - 3:42 Contents 3:42 - 5:32 Volume and Buoyancy 5:32 - 6:39 Floatation of Sinker Boards 6:39 - 8:46 Bodyweight distribution and floatation 8:46 - 11:24 Making water starts on Sinkers easier 11:24 - 14:18 Getting home on sinkers 14:18 - 15:15 Wrap Up
