- Spinout 1: Sail looks oversized for the condtions - you can't control the power and you are tailwalking the board... - Spinout 2: You are tacking upwind at low speed with too much backfoot pressure. You need to shift your weight a bit forward and keep the front leg bent as needed to absorb the chop / or go faster and load the fin once you are ripping! - Spinout 3: You are tailwalking the board, bouncing too much on that chop, the fin gets out the water and endup loosing its grip. Move your mast foot forward a bit to increase mastfoot pressure and level the board down a tad. - Spinout 4: Looks like you are overpowered, then edge upwind to maintain control, losing speed doing so and overload the fin with the backfoot as a defencive mechanism to keep things under control. Downsize you sail so you can maintian speed and conrtol and/or lower your boom height a bit. Prefer your 39cm carbon fin with your combo 72cm board/7.0 sail as long as you are not excessively overpowered with the sail size. Go down a fin size if you go to a 6.0 or if you want to do broad reach 7.0 speedruns on flat water. To recover faster from spinouts, do this all at once: Pull quickly your backfoot under your rear end to bring the tail of the board windward, straighten your front leg to apply mastfoot pressure while pointing the board broadreach.
I have recently repaired small dents I had on my fins and sanded them to perfection. No spinouts any more. Its incredible how much a small dent can affect the laminar flow.
Well too much pressure on back foot when fin isn't ready to handle. So lack of speed, chop, improper harness lines balance, under sized fin, sail tuning or possibly fin defect :) !
I struggled with the same issue for ages. You’re just riding your back foot too hard. Try to focus on putting more weight on the front leg and keeping the front leg straight. Back leg should be pushing downwards on the rail instead of laterally (away from your body)
THAT my friend is the experience and long earned knowledge of somebody who has utterly NO idea whatsoever and so so just shoots off anything and everything in the hope of sounding knowlegeable. LOL.
My thoughts are: #1 was air under the board. Try to keep your knees supple and absorb swell rather than letting the board bounce up off it. A bit like anticipating bumps on a pump track if you ride or skate. #2 may also have been air under the board but harder to be certain due to camera angle. #3 you lifted the windward rail and air got under the board. This might be a symptom of having too large a fin for the conditions. #4 also after the board slapped back down after bouncing off swell.
I have expiriense: using 36sm fin with 7.7 m sail(70sm board) and have spinouts after hard mistakes only. On video all times pressing to fin with low speed. Also problems with gusts and water-wawe conditions and combination of it - if raider start planning - he need to be into the [window of balance] -body weight out of board, but no so long. MAy be good way is starting moving in light downwind
Yes, true. In the meanwhile I have no more spinouts. I was applying too much pressure on the fin at too low speed. It was just a matter of getting used to the board and fin combination.
Seems you push too much the rear foot before the fin has power so it cant hold it and spins. Carbons are very sensitive and easy to lose control when the are not up to speed and fully loaded,maybe a 38-39 would be a better choice
@Dreamrider i ride my electric unicycle at 30 mph with no protection but I'm afraid of sharks! I have to get over my fear, I've got a SUP foil and wing I haven't touched yet. we have these stupid bull sharks everywhere in florida, they bite anything that moves
@@FourthWayRanch Oh well, it's mainly cold and rains a lot in the UK but at least nature isn't always trying to eat or kill us. Perhaps try skateboarding if you don't mind the scrapes, cuts and bruises.

To much sail for that fin size.

Not enough downhaul. Too much backhand pressure

what is safer in shark infested waters, wind surfing or kite surfing?
Best is not to swim I guess, but to stay on the board. In whichever sport you do that better, that’s the safer sport for you then.

Have you considered shark free lakes?
@@themagicrat8803 the lakes in florida all have that brain eating amoeba, you can't even swim in them.
