I did not have the Jib up, as usual when I'm solo - which is almost always. Anyway, just wondering whether other Solo Wavers experience the same thing or whether it's a case of the 52yr old lady just getting timid. I weigh 145lbs, and it just feels as if I try to sheet her in to fly or just gain speed, I'm going to nosedive.
I sit way back under the tiller arm & it helps with the nosedive, but in big wind sometimes you can not stop the nosedive. (see videos)
