Great sailing! I strive to be as good at wind foiling as you are. At first I thought you were talking about a board designed for people over 60 years old. I was like "what???" I'm 68 myself. Then, after reading the comments, I realized you meant an IQ board designed for adults, not necessarily senior citizens. Thank god! I knew that a lot of windsurfers are getting old, but I hadn't heard of a board specifically designed for old people!

Dude we are timed, I was trying it for the first time the other day with the 8m aswell. It felt quite interesting haha. Btw wouldn't you use +1 shim for light winds?

Haha! That’s so good! Yeah normally I would use the +1 in those conditions but I had no clue how the board would be so I went with the trusty +0.5 for safety. I went with the +1 today though.

Great sailing Ivan! Are you on the 9m sail as well?

Thanks! Still on the 8m. I don't really want to use the 9, plus I already have a bunch of 8m stuff

@@IvanWindsurfing im pretty sure senior sails are gonna decrease to 8 meter for men and. 7.3 for women

How does the youth compare to the senior board?

The youth board is much less powerful. The senior board is also a lot more stable and easier to gybe and tack once you get your head around how wide it is.

Does it Gybe better???

Once I stopped missing the footstrap because of how wide the thing is i found it much liftier and easier to gybe.

@@IvanWindsurfing nice! I'm still on the youth gear, but will be making my switch next year. I'm very curious myself about the gear.

@@tristan_krn Nice! It's a great learning experience. I'm not switching to the 9m as I'm not that heavy (and the 8m is quicker due to less drag) and don't want to do the full senior training campaign mission. I'm just in it for fun now, so I'm choosing to do what I think will work best for me.
