The first sail of the season in canberra was a big one, so I rigged the 5m on the hypersonic. Typically it was gusty and when I hit a big gust the board would lift out of the water as I'm planing along. It only happened a few times, anyone know how to stop it? Or make it happen more?
Thanks

Look ahead and upwind for the bigger gusts, grit your teeth a bit, sheet in harder and hang on. Swinging your weight a bit forward to put more mast foot pressure down and hopefully keep the board on the water throught the big gusts.

Revhead were you at Birubi for the wave event? Changed your mind and are now going to Coffs?

sorry for changing the thread!

Thanks everyone, and g'day Crash. Yep I was at the Birubi waiting fest. Coffs is too far from Canberra for a weekend, besides, gota give everyone else a chance at a title

I reckon pushing on the front foot and a smaller board are the go. I had a small fin on already and was getting fantastic spin outs whenever the wind gods wanted a laugh. Top fun tho, knowing you're about to hit a gust which will put you almost out of control. The Hyperflyonic is a good Canberra board 'cause we dont get big winds often.

But also for wave comps, gota update the old footy finned glass wave board!
