more force 4 wrote:I recently bought a 2 m Rise trainer. Abetanzo mentioned doing downwinders with it using a big old windsurf board. Any chance of beam reaches with a windsurfer with the daggerboard down? I'm wondering if my Kona longboard might work for that. Or has anyone tried it in a kayak? I'm thinking a double with one person using a Greenland paddle as a big daggerboard to stay upwind and brace while the other flies the kite.....
I've done this in a canoe and I didn't work particularly well, too much force for the person trying to brace, and prone to tipping. You can go downwind really really fast though! (Keep in mind it's a much slower paddle back with a headwind)
