My E-O snuffer on my N6.0, has caught many a wave in rough conditions wihtout the chute up. So...
I lashed it to the underside and in front of the foil, and the spin pole, as a 'guk' style snuffer. 2/1/03 was my first on the water test and it went well! The bag goes under the tramp some, I may try it over the tramp, but the dern 4way jib crap is up there.
Anyway, no more catching waves offshore like a big spatula!
As I"ve heard though, you can't seem to snuff it at as hot an angle to the wind, as in you have to go more off the wind.
Anyone else try something like this?
