Hey I'm relativily new to windsurfing and I'm having trouble getting a decent amount of downhaul on my KA 6.5m predator.
Is there any tips anyone can give me, it's really annoying me...

1)Try a 6:1 pulley.

2)Drill 2 wholes in a 1/2 to 3/4 inch metal bar. Feed the rope up through the side facing the sail and back down through the next whole then back through the loop you made at the top between the 2 wholes. The harder you pull the tighter it gets, as the pulling motion of the loop tightens the rope feed through on the bar. There is no chance of it locking up either. Very hard to explain in writng. Very simple when you see it.

3) Straighten your leg rather than using your back and give it heaps.

Thanks for all the help, I'll try it out soon.
Deano: I think ive tried the metal bar idea but the holes started to tear out and i was scared I was going to cut the rope. Maybe I'll try with a stronger metal :P

i got a Hydro Pulla as Ian mentioned
very happy with it
its sentimental to me because it was given to me by a very good friend
beats the broom handle i was using
