yes i sail them all the time and there is only one word for them that is awsome!! btw (by the way) most people dont know this but they can be picked up for the same price as a good laser or even less for some of the old ones and because they are built like a tank they are just as good |

....OMG and 1 more thing, someone sed in another topic that 29ers are hard to sail......is that true cos im 14 and about 9-10 stone nd have been sailin 4 bout 4 yrs a bit more.
I really want a go in a skiff type thing soon and i guess 29er would be the best bet (ill have 2 plead 2 go on some1's @ my club) but are they like way faster than somethin like a 420 or a fireball????????
thx |

you hike over the wing, and there are just hiking straps you put your feet under and hang over the wing. nothing holds you on apart from your legs, which is why i said u have to have strong leg muscles!! they aren't slippery either, complete opposite, the deck is very rough aswel, i made the mistake of wearing a shortie in thesummer and my legs were bleeding and cut to pieces from getting the kite up. was ver painful! but still fun!

lol that reminds me of pico knee if u have ever had the job to teaching people to sail picos in a shortie your knees bleed by the end of the day the sunsail guys used to call this pico knee i think the laser center have changed the grade of roughness on the pico decks because they arnt as bad anymore |
