Why not stick the progrip to the bottom of your boots? haven't a clue if it would work but have enough spare progrip for that, happy to send it for just the cost of the postage

Splosh, you probably don't need to progrip the whole floor, on mine I had the side decks and central spine progripped (top and sides of the spine) and nothing on the floor. I didn't really step on the floor itself, from the side deck one step should take you over the other side of the spine, kick off from there and your other foot should then land on the new side deck with your bum on the wing. If you do want to do the whole floor, a guy called Tony Mitchell did his with a kind of progrip substitue, it was a sort of thin foam, very cheap. I forget the name but if you go on the yahoo group for 600's and put a shout out for Tony he should be able to tell you |

Cheers Jamie! I've currently sorted the problem by wearing my 1/2mm windsurfing boots with neoprene socks underneath - Boots give loads of grip/feel and socks our lovely and warm I had the best sail on saterday ever in my 6! Blowind about 15mph and pulled of my first few fully planing dead flat and smooth gybes and it was the best feeling ever beating windsurfing a by a mile! Also on saterday, We've got a 600 coach coming to help us Alton rabble fine tune and tweak our skill before we hit the curcuit in March =) ...I can't wait, sailings never been so exciting! Mark.
