[quote=MN3]not sure why you would not have your boards all the way down with the exception of shallow water or going downwind with a spinnaker (unlikely on a 5.2 but possible) but the boards are key to better tacking in all air conditions.
Also, it should be noted that it is VERY easy to blow a tack in heavy air. I blew several last week with jib/boards/exp crew etc.. it took me at least 3 or 4 tacks to find my rhythm in heavy air.. [/quote]
