Thanks nickmcd, at last I found it, some of their other music sounds pretty ok too (for an old dude like me)

Re windsupping in surf - I hear that 10-15 knot is good wind speed for learning, but what is best direction to start going out in?
ie. onshore/offshore/parallel to beach ? And should I just leave the stock fins on the board or put a bigger centre fin in (I have one available)

Sideshore wind is ideal, but if it is partially onshore or slightly offshore, that should be ok, as long as it is predominantly sideshore.


If you have a free-ride or wavesailing windsurfing fin rather than a SUP fin that fits your fin box (i.e. it will be a bit bigger than a SUP fin) then I'd use it.

BUT, IF YOU HAVEN'T WINDSURFED BEFORE - LEARN IN FLAT WATER FIRST!

Thanks faito anto.

I have a fin out of an old sup thats quite a bit longer than the stock one in my allwave.
I think it is 8in but looks like plastic - would that be better than the 5.8in stock fin?

I had my first go in flat water yesterday for over 15 years - went good (standard fins on)
I will have another one or two flat water goes - practice turns etc - then I want to get into surf asap.

Never tried surf before, but I mastered supping pretty quick, so hope wind-supsurf (is that what we call it?) goes as well.
