Forum - Oprema

Sem prosil gpt naj mi poišče vir oz forum, pa je takoj izpljunil, v 3 sekundah. Ni mi jasno, kako lahko tako hitro, ziher se zanima za naš šport, pa ve vnaprej.

Žal pri kopiranju ni skopiral vira, pa prilepim tudi vprašanje, pa ga vprašaj sam!

Še to. Sam imam 78kg in 76litrov 180/55/10 približno, pa ne bi imel večje. Če ni vetra sem do kolen v vodi. Samo malo pihne, toliko da wing napne, pa že kamot brodim, hitrost počasne hoje. Sem pa ravno danes poskusil 172cm/50cm/14 in 85 lit od Piskota, pa se mi zdi da težje gor pridem, objektivno, tudi ko bi se jo navadil

Na tvoje kile, Boštjan, bi priporočal 85 lit, sploh pa ker sedaj voziš 95. 🥸

A year ago i read in some forum that downwind, sup and wingfoil boards width less than 20 inch are not recomended since the drag force does not decrease significant with narrower board. Can you find me a source

You're correct that there's ongoing discussion in the downwind SUP and wingfoil communities about the optimal board width, particularly concerning boards narrower than 20 inches.  While narrower boards can offer increased speed due to reduced drag, they often compromise stability, making them challenging to stand on, especially in choppy conditions. 

A user on the Progression Project Forum shared their experience with an 18-inch-wide board, stating: 

> "I made it on the low end of narrowness (18 inches wide) which for me, is too narrow. Even standing on it in calm water is a challenge and fatigues me quickly."  

Another contributor emphasized the trade-off between width and stability: 

> "The caveat is that going too narrow creates an unstable board. This won’t allow you to put all your power down when paddling and can be very tricky to stand on in a confused sea state."  

These insights suggest that while narrower boards may offer speed advantages, they can be less forgiving, particularly for heavier riders or those new to the sport.  It's essential to balance the desire for reduced drag with the need for stability to ensure a more enjoyable and less fatiguing experience. 

If you're considering a new board, it might be beneficial to test different widths to find the right balance between performance and comfort for your specific needs.
