I got to sail a rental wave up in OC NJ two weekends ago with my cousin. The guy had an asymmetrical chute for it. I pitchpoled that bad boy three times while it was blowing 20 knots. Lots of fun and I got my cousin digging sailing.

asymmetrical chute? is that what they call beach umbrella's on a wave these days?

Sold the H16!!!

Now, on to find a Wave. Dealer has a 1999 with a "zipper sail." Has anyone used one of these?

andrew: it really wasn't optimized. The luff was about 2' too long and it would collapse as soon as we really got going.

But it still was fun. Those little bows don't give you any warning that they wanna dive. I'm so spoiled on the N20

i am sure they can be fun.. its cat sailing!

I have had fun on plastic windriders in heavy air... (but i wouldn't buy one).

i bet the real fun is watching the tall n20 guys pitchpole "through the air, with the greatest of ease"

I wasn't trapped out so I just hit the shroud and went "oww".

Not much ease involved.

how anti-climactic

Hi Mugrace,

My Wave has a main and a jib. I turn downwind gently until the Jib moves over to the other side but the Mainsail stays on the other side. I have to be careful not to turn too far otherwise I end up Jybing.

OK now that makes sense. Actually, mine came with a jib but I have never used it.

I should give it a try.
