Perfect - thanks. Here in Rodanthe and somehow got confused while rigging it. :)
What an idiotic system. The bungee will never get into the cleat, and you know it.
Ok all, you're welcome ua-cam.com/video/REHjm5ZJ9NI/v-deo.html here's the trick how you get the bungie magically appears in a cleat
Did anyone except @robbyadams8668 got the bungie into the cleat? How?
Hey Mike, Les here! Remembering our Heckscher days. Hope you doing well bro.
@@leslieheine2618 hi Les! Yes, we've been great! Moved to the Outer Banks 8 hears ago and we've been having a blast with perfect windsurf conditions since! I hope all is well with you too.
Perfect explanation! I finally get it! Thank you ❤
Glad we could help!
Мне кажется по мачте недотянул.
Is the rig made of carbon?
Best video I’ve watched on the topic. Many thanks 🙌🏼
Glad we could help!
I missed another one Need to mark it on the calendar Birds of a feather must flock together Fly fly fly over the water we go
It was a blast! We'll announce the dates for 2024 as soon as they are confirmed. Hope to see you there!
How to tighting a bellow part of a Neil Pryde universal joint? I can't open it to replace a security rope.
Derek is the best explainer of rigging. Ton of experience.
Are there any white sharks ?
It's highly unlikely that you'll see any sharks at all while windsurfing in the shallow sound. On the Ocean side it's much more likely for there to be a shark.
Looked awesome!
Such a great time!
Nice!
So the position has nothing to do with sail size?
Sail size is the least important reason for moving the mast track on modern boards. Changing mast track position will change the way the board acts and this is purely user preference. Some boards react to this change far more than others. For example, I use the same exact mast base position on my Psycho 102 from 4.4 to 5.8. Same position on my Fox 3 125 for both my 6.8 and 7.8 Moto. I always prefer the mast back in the box to get the boards flying at a higher top speed. The Fox 3 in particular has a large V section that plants itself in the water when the mast track is further forward which gives the board tremendous control and a more relaxed feel. More advanced riders will want that V out of the water and gain another 5 knots or so of top end speed.
@@severnewindsurfingnorthamerica and what about rider weight? Should a heavier rider use the mast far forward than a lighter rider?
@@Windsurfwannabe Regardless of rider weight, the mast track will still change the way the board rides. Same rules apply to all riders. The mast foot is what is applying pressure to the nose of the board, not the rider's weight. So bring the mast back and it releases pressure from the nose. Push the mast track forward and it applies pressure to the nose. The rider will always be fixed in the straps.
free beer if you race....?
Yes, free beer for all racers at the finish line. Windsurf party on the water!
I missed it. Would have driven out there.
Epic freestyle action!!
I'm new to windsurfing and really appreciate that you've done this rigging tutorial. I've got a severne setup and will do a test run rigging at home before going out on the water. Cheers!
awesome coverage Mike, you are def the "Windsurfer of the year!"
Would love to have a go at this one day!
Incredible to see! What a rush that start must have been!
Another Epic event!!!! 🎉🤙
Didn't really go into the details of what holes to use... :(
When we say moving the straps to the front front, back, inboard and outboard, we are talking specifically about the holes. Please rewatch with this newly gained knowledge.
Not sure what you’re protecting the rails from?
I’d assume this is good protection from paddling or paddles and that’s mainly for sup\downwinder boards.
yes thanks for the explanation, sorry to trash u on your other post.................
you think after ALL the comments on the cleat he would re do this...............
ua-cam.com/video/REHjm5ZJ9NI/v-deo.html
he left out the most important part !!!!!! fuck
Thanks Mike. Love these videos.
Any time! Feel free to reach out with any questions at all!
what kinda boom head is that!?
Thanks for making this rigging guide (I have a load of Gators). I note that whilst emphasising the extension setting of 2cm, the shot of the sail rigged showed it about 2-3 cm off fully downhauled. Can you add a few words on what tension you’re looking for on the leech of the sail?
Hi Rob, Typically we list the max recommended downhaul tension on the sail. For the Gator, Blades, S-1s, you can really tune the sail to the wind conditions or to get the perfect feel that you like by adjusting the downhaul. Typically, you'd downhaul the Gator until the ripples in the sail come in about 1/2 way to the mast between the top 2 battens. Personally, I find the outhaul specs pretty spot on for all my sails. Best thing to do is play with the downhaul tension a bit and tune the sail to the way you like it best. Some people prefer a springier sail with less downhaul, some people prefer a lighter feeling sail with more downhaul. Completely up to the user. Hope that helps! Mike Burns
@@severnewindsurfingnorthamerica Mike, many thanks for your reply. I think I'm getting to the stage where I'm experienced enough to be able to feel the difference in set up, however being a visual learner, it would be great if someone (preferably from Severne or a trusted partner) could turn that into a video.
@@bobbinabout1317 Try this one I did for the Freek a couple years ago. The Gator's leach will be a bit looser, but the concept is the same. ua-cam.com/video/kz2P0ZFdUvo/v-deo.html
@@severnewindsurfingnorthamerica “Typically, you'd downhaul the Gator until the ripples in the sail come in about 1/2 way to the mast between the top 2 battens.” Thanks! I rigged my new 2023 7m Gator today and it had far too much loose leach following the settings on the sail. Now I know the extension setting is max, which is different from the 2019 7m Gator it replaced which was pretty good when following the printed settings on the sail.
@@phil2186 Glad I could help! With any brand sail, it's good to tune the downhaul depending on conditions or the feel that you like from the sails. Severe sails have a really good wind range regardless of tuning. Changing the downhaul 1-3 cm will make a big difference in the way the sail feels. So it's best to figure out how you like your sail to feel and use that setting for 90% of your sailing. If the sail feels top heavy or too punchy, give it 1-2 cm more downhaul. If the sail feels gutless, then let off on the downhaul 1-2 cm. Have fun! - Mike
Best WSF season for OBX? Spring?
Hi Luke, Best windsurfing in Hatteras is usually from March to July and then Oct / Nov. April is typically the first warmer month of the year where we're get some days in board shorts. We see the most windsurfers in town throughout April and May. Then again toward the end of October. Al the best, Mike
OOOH MY GOD ***WHO IS THIS GIRL?***** SMOKE SHOW 😍
Thank you for the extended version !
Would y'all like another video uncut?
Great explanation. Thanks for sharing this.
Will there be an OBX Wing?
Best event yet 🙂
Amazing event! Thanks again to the organizers 🙂
Non-planing and long distance. Sorry that does not sound like my idea of fun at all.
To each their own... People didn't have to race this one and for many, the score was thrown out. We held 2x races in high wind later in the week. The 100+ people that chose to do this one had a blast and found loads of free beer waiting waiting at the finish line. People were laughing their asses off for 3 straight miles on this one....
@@severnewindsurfingnorthamerica It's good of you to reply and I'm glad they had a good time.
@@simongodfrey3765 Even a better time on the high wind race days :-) Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/3TGMTV6zoPw/v-deo.html
@@severnewindsurfingnorthamerica Oh yes, much more my cup of tea!
@@simongodfrey3765 Same here! The only reason that the light wind long distance happened is because the forecast for the week on Monday wasn't looking so hot so we ran a light wind long distance (shortened course) with racers knowing that it was optional to race because it would be thrown out if the wind came up. It turned out that everyone was just dying laughing around the course, a light wind pile up at the outer mark had people coming back with some hilarious stories to share over the free beer at the finish line. Of course, the forecast popped right up for the second 1/2 of the week and we raced high wind until we couldn't hold on any longer. Absolute blast of a week!
Nico and Marco, awesome!
What distance? Course or just back and forth? So many questions! Where are the raceboards? Where are the Formula boards?
The typical Long Distance Race is High Wind with a course of 10-12 miles depending on the wind direction. Out and back twice per race. We ran this one race in lighter winds and pulled the marks in much closer just to get a race off without a good forecast. Luckily the wind cooperated at the end of the week and we were able to get off some Long Distance races. Here's the full event video: ua-cam.com/video/3TGMTV6zoPw/v-deo.html
Could you guys please post the actual race?
AWESOME videos and narrations. Just wish you could create a final with results etc.
Cool. Would be fun to sail in the USA once.
Great video of a super fun day :-) Thanks to all organizers and volunteers....you all rock!
Use your brain! Thanks Mike. I wish I had one.
thx a lot , finally see what I was doing wrong on my new Wave sail
