|
|
I have been looking to find a spring suit that covers the knees. Anybody heard of one? Learning to foil involves a lot of climbing on the board and uphauling and my knees have taken a beating. I have a farmer john that I might try cutting the legs off mid calf, but not sure if that would work. Any suggestions? I can't waterstart using small sails when foiling. Thanks |

thanks Mike. looks good, but i need a 2XL which they don't make. i'll probably cut the farmer john's legs shorter. with all the wingers and foilers out there, i'm surprised nobody is making what i'm looking for, knee protection in a spring suit. |

I would call Promotion because I'm pretty sure they do have it in an XXL |

Promotion below knee charger shorts for $74 will work for me in 2XL. I only sail in an inland lake and wear a rash guard for my upper body. I've got a farmer john I can wear with a top if I start sailing early in the season. Thanks everyone. |

Try vaulting onto your board, much as you would vault over a fence or onto the side of a swimming pool or the end of a one-meter diving board. With both hands on deck, shove down with your hands as you kick one powerful frog kick with your legs. Just like that, you're standing on your deck with both feet. Nothing but hands and feet need to touch the deck whether the water is 5 or 500 feet deep. |
