Fixing the footstraps on a mountainboard.
Published on January 29, 2007 in Tips & learning | Post a comment
After converting a Mountainboard suitable for Dirtwindsurfing I comment how to repair a broken anchors the footstraps, you may even think, so I can be very helpful.
REPLACEMENT OF ANCHORS footstraps
The tension that support the footstraps in a table of these is very large, and since they are not directly anchored to it but are secured by a screw long enough, the bending forces on the rod and timber can be brutal. Read more »

Given the interest generated around the issue of converting a mountainboard in a pileup fit to practice "dirtwindsurfing" the other day I went and took a few pictures that I hope you serve to clarify the issue.
As you will see is an operation as simple as drilling the table in the right place and screw a mast foot.
I did the simplest way possible, ie, using parts that have the same foot mast we use to navigate, so you do not need a nut or extra. If someone did otherwise it is better, it would be nice to put it in this topic to see it. Read more »
Learning to do the spinloop / Speedloop

Then let's go to the version "no wave" of the forward: the spinloop (or whichever you prefer speed and loop) is basically the same. That if we do not have wave that moves us so we have to know to jump without wave, that is, the "chop hop". With will and comfortably lift the flap of water is enough.

Learning to do the Forward Loop
Published on July 31, 2006 in maneuvers , tricks and learning | 2 Comments
Having regard to the demand there is for councils to once and forever the "cursed" forward, here is my two cents. This is not intended as an explanation of super-pro, there are enough articles on the subject. I write from my non-pro-experiencia.En first go with the previous considerations:
Do I have to jump in the forward level?
-No need to bring sailing 10 years to bring you down, jump minimally sufficient to know only that. Skip to know a little, I mean to have it controlled takeoff, grouped, fly and land a bit without spinout.
With that I can begin to try sailing?
'Here we are not like the Josh Angulo in the Fuerza7 article, which he can wear with 6.6 backloop to learn the hand.
Ideally, something less than 5.7, it is obvious that when you control a little, is set equal to 6.2 read more »
Simulator to learn to do waterstart
Posted on March 9, 2006 in Tips & learning | Post a comment
Photo 1. What you need:
-A table, 120L minimum, with a front hole and a back footstrap.
-A candle.
-A string, minimum 10m.
-An anchor.
Photo 2. The key to the simulator:
The distance of the rope between the point on the front of the table until the anchor is longer than the distance of the rope to the anchor footstrap. This so that the table is positioned slightly longer and help outputs.
Photo 3. On the beach:
Explain that the body is placed between the strings.
Photo 4a/4b. In water:
The student can go on both tacks without changing the assembly.
Photo 5. On the table:
The student can stay balanced on the table and move along the rope.
Photo 6/7. Place to use the simulator the simulator:
It can be used at sea level or behind the breakers in the market (Columbia river type), and even land breeze. The student can sit and rest on the table at any time.

Very good all vientolocos.
Many people left hands straining sails, particularly those of racing. Others will buy inventions to tighten, which can be very well but you have to spend money and buy them.
I'll show you a knot to tighten the sail using a tube of something to pull it. It can be a wrench, a length of boom or easier still harness the tube.
Leave it with a hammer with wooden handle, once I left one.

Hello friends. Let's see how to build us our own windsurfístico training device.
Let's do it.
INGREDIENTS:
- A broken boom and we're going to throw old.
- A saw cutting.
- A corporal who do not want to windsurf.
- A weight.
- A drill with drill bit, which is greater than the diameter of the rope.
The Tack with short board
Published on January 28, 2006 in Tips & learning | 5 Comments
The turn is very easy and then he grabs the trick. Very small scratches and material things change and can become a pretty radical move, but when you get out a few times and leave you all (or almost).
First considerations
The most important of the tack is to have clear steps in the head and then, when to take them out, make them without hesitation. The good thing is that if you tack it firmly, without hesitation, leaves ... if you stop to think about half of the maneuver, you fall fixed.
Steps
1. We began with a tight sharp tack upwind.
