Everyone knows it's Wendy! :) Sorry, couldn't resist.
Seriously, I was at Coyote yesterday and fully concur. Maybe I was rigged
too small (5.5), board was too little (9.0), I'm just a lame-brain, or
all-three, but I had a hellava time staying upwind where almost everyone else
was. I seemed like there was a definite wind line from the edge of the
parking lot at the opposite side of the lagoon straight out. I couldn't hit
any decent wind until I got out near the channel, and then, it was up and
down. I'm considering getting a G10 Wing 362 to replace my old Finworks
Larry Tuttle-designed blade fin, hoping that it will give me better pointing
ability in such marginal conditions. Btw - I'm around 180 lb. Any
suggestions out there?
