looking for something thing to protect my finger
it feel like i am getting a rash from wet finger rubbing on the boom

looking at getting a winter and summer pair

For cold in the winter....(and spring here this year!) the open palm mitts are amazing (well not amazing but they make a massive difference)

I guess they wouldnt help though. A guy I know uses very thin golf gloves and says they are brilliant, even for windsurfing holidays where you sail sandy spots for 10days running, they stop the blisters apparently. If only I could try myself on a 10day windsurfing holiday at hot sandy spot!

Or...you could go down to your local surf shop, via the coffe shop and ask for a pair of HTFU gloves whilst you enjoy your chai (with an added spoonful of cement).


(I can't believe it's been 2 days & not mentioned yet!)

My wife has a pair of Da Kine windsurfing gloves purchased from Wind Surf and Snow. She quite likes them.

I don't like windsurfing with gloves so have only used a pair of washing up gloves when the weather is really cold.

If you are coming to Canton this Sunday I'll give you an old Chinook boom. It might be a bit more comfortable on your hands than the boom you currently use. That is if I remember to bring it.

i always wear dinghy gloves or ill get an open blister around the bottom knuckle of my thumb

Oh wait...

I use the Dakine full finger gloves in the summer and the O'Neill Psycho 1.5mm neoprene glove in the winter. The later can wear my forearms out quicker so I need to make a conscience effort to put all my weight in the harness and not grip so hard. The Dakine gloves typically last a season before getting holes at the tips (still use them anyway).
