Afternoon all,

Just bought a 155 mistral explosion and a gator severn 6 sail. I've spent about 10 hours on 200 starboard with a 4.5 sail.

I'm 6'4 and weigh about 85kg

I went out in a force 3/4 at the weekend and spent most of time falling in the water. However managed to get planning for about a minute, really enjoyed it but the board got very twitchy and I ended up falling in the water!

My question is what should I attempt to learn first. I've been told to concentrate on 3 things:

1. Getting up wind
2. Planing
3. Get in the harness

What do you think?
