Has anyone had any experience towing a windurfer in on waves. where would be the best place to attach the ski rope ie boom/harness

If its not to difficult it might be a good idea to snap up some nice clean waves.

I think it was on Plug n Play where the windsurfer held onto the rope with his front hand on the boom.

have a look on boardseeker.com
i think there is footage of tow in freestyle from Sylt and Tiree that might give you some ideas.

I have no idea how they did this.... I have tried it before and I couldnt hold onto the rope as well as hold the sail up, as soon as we got any speed it just pulled me over..

Looks like Danny is holding the rope with one hand and the sail in the other?
Maybe I will try with a floatier board... mmm could give us something to do this weekend if the wind doesn't pick up
