I came to the beach and found [b:5f0dc11469]winddoc, morewind, wingnut[/b:5f0dc11469], and [b:5f0dc11469]Mark[/b:5f0dc11469] were just hanging around waiting for something. While I was interrogating [b:5f0dc11469]winddoc[/b:5f0dc11469] about board tuning ( Thanks, man! ) wind came up. We rigged up 4.5's and went out, that was ok for a while, then it dropped and as soon as I let out my outhaul a little it came back up again. I tried to sail in 4.0 gusts on powerfull 4.5, but it didn't work that well, so I had to go back to downhaul it again. All and all by the end of the session I found myself slogging on 5.5 :shock:
I playd a little with mast foot position and I found that Evo likes it to be pretty close to the tail, at least for onshore conditions. Moving it just 1 cm makes a huge difference. Also I moved my backfoot strap one hole forward, made the board feel much more comfy.
