Windsurf SLALOM SAILS - my sail range & settings

Many of you requested a detailed video about the settings of my windsurf gear. Here I take the chance to present my slalom sail range for fin and foil. I also talk about my settings and rig one sail as an example. Especially interesting are the RACE SF sails which you can adjust for both fin and foil windsurfing. Leave questions in the comments if you have some!

This is my 43rd year windsurfing. I'm watching your video and I love patrick boards, this is Nota Is criticism of patrick international or The narrator of this video.
Everyone quits windsurfing because it's too complex. This video illustrates that we have gone in completely insane with the complexity.
This video just illustrates the ridiculous complexity of windsurfing and windfoiling Two disciplines multiple sails for each totally insane expense and complexity.
No wonder everyone is winging you're destroying your own industry form within

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)

[@reiry429]

🤙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🤣🤣🤣

[@christophehardy2085]

Very clear and interesting video to learn or not forget some setting ;)thank you

[@slogo8879]

Nice video and very interesting! Seems that Patrik have done a lot of homework in order to come up with 4 diferent types of racing sails! ..and the mast size tuning bit is very useful!

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

A lot of work went in. I am happy that it works out 😊

[@rowingocean]

Seems like you are back from the training and doing some product promo video.
Very useful video with handful of informations.

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

Indeed I am back home now but luckily had this video prerecorded. Can't wait for some racing footage soon!

so jetzt stehst du unter ständiger beobachtung-dein englisch ist super-nur das Beste für dich. sabine u. opa

[@Peeter77]

Thanks for the video. Good job! When I read the title I was hoping that you tell us the wind range for the sails. I'm especially interested what is the minimum and maximum wind for each sailsize? And if you are not racing, let's say freeriding, do you use smaller sails?

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

Sorry for misleading you! 😅 That would be interesting to know but also quite depends on the rider. Good question but I usually never go freeriding, I always train. But sometimes indeed I choose to train less powered so then I choose the smaller size if I am considering two sizes.

[@robinnahrstedt5826]

Really interesting video. One question: Longer mast is stiffer? Just a few weeks ago I got the tip that a longer mast makes the sail a bit softer 🤔

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

I have never heard about a longer mast making a sail softer

[@Funkphenomena]

Great source of info you have here! Are you using the Lisa pulley system?

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

Yes

[@Funkphenomena]

Is it convenient to use and sturdy?

[@sharewavestv]

Wie viele Segelsorten braucht man? Und Patrik so: JA!!! 😂

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

😂

[@loskiff]

Do you feel any difference in stability between the upper and lower outhaul? When I use my sail in the lower one I feel like it wants to fall either on the back or on the front and I must keep It straight up

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

I know that it doesn’t work with all brands. Sometimes it feels like they just put it in for marketing reasons so I know your feeling. Maybe could also be to much downhaul? Anyway I am happy that with Patrik it makes a difference but both is useful

[@grzegorzgorniewski6502]

Did you try using dedicated foil designs for fin windsurfing? I've seen young racers in Bic OD class use foil sails for racing nad training.

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

Yes just recently I have tried my 4.8 foil sail on fin in 40 knots of wind. It is going okay but especially after the gybe you feel the missing backhand pressure. A friend of mine used a 7.9 foilsail on fin last year and although it was not peak performance he could easily plane and have fun

[@justelis5179]

Hey. Dont you use less downhaul for foiling on race SF? Or you always go to downhaul indicator on the sail no matter you use it for fin or foil?

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

Hi, yes I do slightly less download when I am foiling. In my experience though it is good to go right to the indications when foiling and for fin slighty ahead.

[@justelis5179]

@@michelebeckerwindsurfing did you shorten your extension for foiling or just realease the rope for like 0.5-1.0 cm?

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

@@justelis5179 I leave it the same and just release it :)

[@justelis5179]

@@michelebeckerwindsurfing thank you very much

[@surfavision1697]

Auswahl wie bei Autoherstellern, ist so eine Spezialisierung notwendig und spürt man tatsächlich Unterschiede oder wo ist der Sinn?

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

Ja man spürt extreme Unterschiede. Genau wie bei verschiedenen Automodellen. Im Endeffekt haben aber alle Segel eine Sachen gemeinsam: man kann damit Windsurfen gehen und wer sich nicht spezialisieren möchte, fährt einfach irgendwas 🤙🏼

[@justelis5179]

What outhaul pulley are you using?
