Should a 58kg person be able to easily uphaul a Bombora Trifin? I have a friend who has an old one & has been avoiding using it as he thinks he will have to waterstart it but i was thinking maybe he wont have to? He currently sails an old windsurfer but wants to get into shortboarding.
I think Tri Fins were quite floaty so if they are reasonably skilled and the water is reasonably flat they should be able to do it.
Seems to be about 115 litres in volume according to a few people in this thread:

When a Bombora tri-fin was my pride and joy i would sail it in anything (0-40knots).
I was 70 kg then, and had no problems uphauling.
My progression was also from a one design to a tri fin.

Mobydisc love that topic! Great for a laugh.Thanks everyone- Ill tell him he has no excuse now & to go out & use my old sails! I sold him my old delaminating 4 + 5m sails for $50 & we're both happy!![]()
