Which side Major foil angle Starboard or port?

You just simply can't open the velcro when pushing the foot in to the foot strap....

The straps are turned around so that the logo isn’t upside down when you are recording on your head cam 🤙

Hi, would you please explain how you shim the foil to get the right rake. I read that now you have to put the shims under the back screw?? Thanks!

Less drag from open slot on the bootstrap when it is facing backwards

The straps to habe the better feeling on the feets, it is also easier to go in

The straps are to prevent wounds on your feet maybe?

Could it be for filming.. on board cam and the angle is good?

with inside strap is more difficult to get "catapulted"

Das glitzert ja voll ✨

Looks very spacy

Same as other guys, because the is no way to open the velcro accidently eith your foot if the logos are pointing inward

Considering straps - It should be a bit easier to adjust them in the water- you just pull the cover to open.

Hi there. I think I know the answer, you don't want to get stuck with your toes in the velcro, while trying to get into the straps. I got the ion saftey-straps and I accidently opened the velcro on my straps doing that.

Hello Could you please give the make of your neck protection and tell me in what video you talked about it. I can't find it and I know it exists. THANK YOU 😊

Hello! Not a pro at all, here are my findings anyways, about Starboard 177 race board and race foil from the pre-IQ era. In the original condition it was very scary to fly since the nose was pointing downwards ready to hit a chop. I checked the rake, it was 0.6 degrees. Our local forum said I needed 1.6-1.9 rake. After I added a self made shim (cutted it from a piece of linoleum) the rake became 1.4 degrees. It was night and day, but the head of the foil mast was not that tight now. Then I grinded away some material from the head, about the shim's thicknes at the rear and 0 at front. Marked the sloping line carefully, and also added sort of a clamp as a limiter for the process. Now the head is tight, but still touching the well bottom, and the rake is 1.7-1.8 degrees. I am still using this setup after several years, very satisfied, the flight hight is steady in the gusts, but maybe still wanting to go downwards just a bit. Back to the video, 3 degrees, wow, I wish I saw it before, I'll try some more rake, thanks! Also, why starboard does not make the gear with the optimal setup from the beginning? Shims are not good because they make the head loose, and grinding the mast head by customers, that is not right. I wonder if I am alone who has risked the grinding.

Great explanation! Thanks ❤

Wahrscheinlich nur zweimal geimpft

You do so well. 🎉🎉🎉 looking forward for 2024😊

🤙Hi klare Entscheidung, nur noch Foil durch die PWA Trennung von Fin und Foil, Top Danke das dachte ich mir schon es muss für jeden Rider ein Focus gefunden werden. Für mich als Zuschauer begrüße ich das, da ich ein Fin Fan bin und kann nun wieder reine Fin Races sehen🤣🤣🤣

Wow. Gunsails are competitive. I like the price of those sails but i dont know if they are good or no :D

Great rundown and have to say great coverage from PWA Racing and beating Goyard for 30s… what foils where you guys on? 360 vs 550??

Very nice comments, perfectly reflecting feeling, ., especially when they fully match with those I’ve experienced too (that’s what we live and race for))

Dude you are awesome!! Keep up the training and the videos, you will kill it next season in the PWA!!!!!

Great video, I enjoyed following you all season - what a breakout year for you! I admire your humility and good sportsmanship. Best of luck for next season. Keep those videos coming, I especially enjoy when you share about your equipment and set up - what you like and why. Tuning and technique is always interesting - can't get enough!

Hej Michelle, my friend! Congrats to this impressive season, all the best for 2024!!!

Maschineeeee!

It was so cool to follow you throughout the last year. Hope to hear you again on the Podcast with Ben! I wish you all the best for the new Season!!!

From unkown "zero" to hero - first year PWA and fifth place overall! I wish you a good winter training and a even better new saison. Please make some technique videos, too. There are so many things we would like to ask regarding trimm and settings of your material.

An Epic season for you. The best scene you made was the catapult you got on such a huge swell. It was tremendous.

Very interesting video! Interesting that you have the boom on the lower side. I would like a video about trimming during sailing (how you use the outhaul etc)

Nice video. All the best

We'll done Michele. In the beginning of the season you were afraid not to be able to join the whole trip. And now, not only joint all the races but more than competative. With this experience and a little luck, podia next year? Mary X-mas and an outstanding 2024

Na dann viel Spaß noch wir Finn Surfer sind raus ist uns Zuviel Foil!!!

Tolle Saison - Gratulation! Das Video gibt einen guten Eindruck vom Event. Klasse. Vielen Dank!!

Epic video!!

Top 3 in 24! 🍀

Herzlichen Glückwunsch Michele 🎉👏🏼👍🏼 Das blöde C erklärt natürlich auch, warum es so lange gedauert hat, bis Dein Video kam. Ich finde, man hat es Dir auch im Video angesehen, da Du scheinbar noch kurzatmig warst. Also sieh zu, daß Du es gut auskurierst. Dann hoffe ich mal, daß Du zusammen mit Nico ein gutes Wintertraining hast, damit Ihr Beiden Euch noch mehr pushen könnt. 👍🏼

You put Nico into shame!! Amazing effort well done. Sure Patric is super pleased with your efforts!

a great 2023 season, congratulations, Wigand von vogelandfriends

Just had a look back at that video upcoming after Tenerife winter training, you looked very competitive : I forecasted top 15 with "doable" top 10. Awesome achievemnt to end-up 5th 💪, so stoked for you 😃 Congrats and all the best for PWA 2024 tour ☝

Nice to have you on tour. Good sailor and better person. Hope you'll come stronger next year....top 3!!!! 💪💪💪💪

Congrats, Michele, for the great results! What neck brace do you use? Is it meant to use with that type of helmet?

Great racing, Good attitude and sportmanship 🤙🤙🤙

Gratulation zu dieser erfolgreichen Saison und vielen Dank das du uns dabei mitgenommen hast. Ich hoffe du schaffst das in der nächsten Saison weiter zu machen wenn du um die Top 3 fightest 😉

Congratulations on the 5th place. Really pleased for you and many thanks and for putting out the videos. Merry Christmas

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu der super Saison. Aber Covid zum Abschluss muss ja auch nicht sein. Schön, dass es dir wieder besser geht.
