Pulse 6 or Superpower 6 ?

Message par Rafoil » ven. oct. 09, 2020 1:05 pm

I'm a beginner and I weight 95 kilos...1,82 tall... I've been windsurfing for 20 years, stopped 17 years...57 aged...
So, I'm gonna start with HIPE 5.5 (as soon I will receive my new winter wetsuit...) and the question is:
Pulse 6 or Superpower 6 ?
In my opinion, as the SUperpower has got a longer boom and a short wingspan, it shoud be easier, I mean, more balanced and moredifficult to touch the whater with hte tips...or not ?
Moreover, should be better to lift with 3 bft. wind... :P

If you hope to gain flight by 3bft, I think the superpower 9 is mandatory for your weight and it will require quite some training before you succeed, not possible at first.

Now to answer your question: yes the superpower 6 is easier than the Pulse 6. and it will allow you to fly with less wind.

No, the big man is actually a big Bear (aka l'"Ours"), the Gong boss/shaper/guru himself!

I'm about the same weight and size as L'Ours, but less muscles for me unfortunately...
