HELP!!
I have a serious problem with spinout. I have a '91 Bic Rock (9'8'', 135
liters) and have just started using my footstraps. When I get in the straps
and really start moving I frequently experience spinout. I am using the stock
12'' pointer fin which has had several encounters with the sand bar at Canadian
Hole. This has happened with sails from 7.3 to 4.4. I weigh about 190 lbs. Is
it my technique or my fin? If it is my fin what type/size/area fin should I
look at buying? I normally sail in light wind (6.6 - 7.5) but occasionally in
heavier wind (down to a 5.0). I would prefer to buy only one fin. Also, please
suggest any technique changes that might prevent spinouts. I greatly appreciate
any advice!
Thanks,
Mike
