Let me know if you know of any options for him. 920-2five1-eight648. If anyone else on Lakawa knows of anything, le...

I am trying to get confirmation on camping on/alongside the beach. Will post when I find out. I know that rule hasn't really been enforced in the past because some people have still done it. Just not sure that it is technically allowed. FYI, there is a campground kind of on the other side of the lak...

It was a great three days of sailing in Worthington. Wind showed up and records fell. Andrew Anderson set the bar high, REALLY high. He went a stupid fast 35.4 knots (40.7mph) for 10-seconds, peaking at 37.6 knots (43.3 mph)! He did this on 75-cm wide, 120L Carbon Art slalom board with a 7.8 Pryde r...

I am just finishing building a set of hydrofoils that I am going to put on one of my old imco's (then it can float when there's not enough wind and the length of it won't matter once it is up on the foils). It should be able to start riding on the hydrofoils at somewhere around 9 or 10 mph. I also h...
