	Wave Rider sounds about the right weight and experience to try a 29er. They are tippy but its a bit like riding a bike - alright as long as you keep moving. Most of these skiff type boats have very litttle static stability - if you held it head-to-wind by the forestay it would fall over. So its unlike a 420 which generally rounds up and stops upright if you let everything go whilst sailing. With skiffs you are balancing the sail pressure against you weight, so no matter what, you have to keep sailing them.

	lol that reminds me of pico knee if u have ever had the job to teaching people to sail picos in a shortie your knees bleed by the end of the day the sunsail guys used to call this pico knee i think the laser center have changed the grade of roughness on the pico decks because they arnt as bad anymore

	you hike over the wing, and there are just hiking straps you put your feet under and hang over the wing. nothing holds you on apart from your legs, which is why i said u have to have strong leg muscles!! they aren't slippery either, complete opposite, the deck is very rough aswel, i made the mistake of wearing a shortie in thesummer and my legs were bleeding and cut to pieces from getting the kite up. was ver painful! but still fun!
