I wish I had of seen this vid earlier. I just brought 2 sets of harness lines a while ago. I think mine are to short now, I brought 26 inch. Like what pritchard says, go long. You want the sail to be more upright and it will be more comfortable to sail. I really think to, you will plane earlier.
this dude can rig his sail fast, the fastest rigger on youtube!
Cool videos, thanks for that.
It takes me about 1:35 to get my sail out of the bag.
I think rigging is the worse part of windsurfing. It would be good if all downhauls were like north and we all had skinnys. Sometimes when the winds up I cant even be bothered rigging up. 
if you ever get a chance to have a lesson with Matt P do it. He is a bloody great dude and makes having a lesson on the water really good fun along with knowing his stuff.
I had one with him last year only for 1 hour as the wind died but it was great!
My old-worn-out luff sleeves wouldn't survive the initial thrust from that mast 
.
(OMFG
, I can't believe how bad that sounds!)
coming to think of it. while putting on me wetsuit tonight to go for a windsurf after rigging up. i think having to get in ya wetsuit is the worse part of windsurfing.
Agree with timford about Matt Pritchard. I was in Maui for 3 days and met up with Phil McGain (who I'd met previously in Aus). Phil was going to sort me out with some gear as I wasn't there for long, but Matt just said why don't you use my slalom kit and I'll spend some time on the wave gear. I ended up having his kit for three full days and had an absolute ball. Great guys, both of them.
Shameful plug for my time in Maui, but really, the hospitality these guys showed was awesome.
The fastest rigger ever has to be Tom Burlinson from the 1986 aussie movie "Windrider".
My memory may have it wrong, but I recall that late for competition he tries to jump his car (with sailboard strapped on top) onto the departing ferry. He misses, and the car sinks into the lake. Onlookers are horrified. And then POW! Suddenly he erupts from the bubbles of the sinking car on a fully rigged board and powers away to make the competition in time...
