Are you doing the start on your knee's, then standing up once you have some forward momentum?standing on it in 2' wind chop and trying to lift a wing in place and get going has proved really difficult in practice.

How'd the 4'10 go? Straps?yes! SUP is the way to go to learn.
on a side note, I'm trying it on my 4'10" proner today. let you know how it goes
Ha, well got the mast into the plate adapter and realized my barrel nuts were metric and I only have standard hardware. So no 4'10 trials yet. I'll let you know when I do.How'd the 4'10 go? Straps?
No wind experience for me. I’ve been flying solo, but I’ll probably have a chance to get some help today.I'm pretty surprised at these responses guys. Are you guys going out alone with no wind sport knowledge? Or with people who are giving you tips while you're doing it?
Kite surfing is easy enough to pick up in 3 lessons or so with an instructor. Quite hard to pick up on your own. I wonder how much "wind window" type knowledge you need to figure it out. The really good foil/kite/multi sport guys say it's an easy way to learn a wind sport.
I bet having over 20 MPH wind would be a huge plus to learning. Of course when it's blowing that hard, that means there are harder gusts and I get scared.
Yea sup the way I think for now, unless someone comes up with a new design that is in between prone and SUP that works.shoot...i was just assuming you could just water start it like a windsurfer...small wave sail on a sinker board...but if alex and the rest are not doing it then it most likely cannot be done by bigger guys...guess ill keep my SUP
