With lots of enginepower it is hard to keep grip.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Yes it is a bit strange example...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;With surfing this is the same with soft sails you can maintain your stance, which is the best. In the same strong gust a very stiff rigs the rider has to adjust his stance (giving more or less mastfoot pressure).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;There isn't a lot written on the internet about it, but I think on a windsurfer it isn't fast to adjust your stance a lot. You have to find a stance for the course you have to sail, and than try to keep that position. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Sometimes it is impossible, in very gusty conditions lots of riders suffer. It is one of the main priorities this year for me to become  more aware of conditions. I have to use my head a little bit more on the water.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;-Erik</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3210168910980806269/2207873383706183845/comments/default/8002689838215303878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3210168910980806269/2207873383706183845/comments/default/8002689838215303878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.speedsurfingblog.com/2009/01/control-vs-speed-sails.html?showComment=1233152280000#c8002689838215303878' title=''/><author><name>Erik Loots</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12561759011274401773</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04038518609760337204'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.speedsurfingblog.com/2009/01/control-vs-speed-sails.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210168910980806269.post-2207873383706183845' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3210168910980806269/posts/default/2207873383706183845' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210168910980806269.post-4675408726930392923</id><published>2009-01-28T12:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T12:16:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi EricWhat do you mean with exhaust?Do you mean s...</title><content type='html'>Hi Eric&lt;BR/&gt;What do you mean with exhaust?&lt;BR/&gt;Do you mean suspension instead of exhaust?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Chris</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3210168910980806269/2207873383706183845/comments/default/4675408726930392923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3210168910980806269/2207873383706183845/comments/default/4675408726930392923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.speedsurfingblog.com/2009/01/control-vs-speed-sails.html?showComment=1233141360000#c4675408726930392923' title=''/><author><name>chris</name><uri>http://www.wind-surfing.nl</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.speedsurfingblog.com/2009/01/control-vs-speed-sails.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210168910980806269.post-2207873383706183845' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3210168910980806269/posts/default/2207873383706183845' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
