Hi John, 10 years ago pretty close to the exact day, I was in the water and a motor boat ran over my rig. Sail and boom were destroyed but my Mistral Screamer survived. In fact, I still use the board today. I was fortunate that the boat did not hit me directly or else I may not be alive. However, th...

I take it this means that you have gotten over to the dark side. Perhaps I will see you on the Bear when I return from Asia. Regards.

I am wraping up a business trip in Asia and will stop at Maui on Wednesday, June 14 for 5 days before coming back to Minnesota. Any chance I can rent some equipment and a room from you? If not, do you know of any other contacts I could call when I arrive. Thanks. Anyone else have any suggestions on ...

Hi all, Thinking about a trip to Lake Arenal to escape the cold. I know some of you have been there before. The destination part of this forum is a bit dated. Where are the better places to stay for equipment rental and after hours entertainment? I know this will not be party town like Cabarete, but...

Tighe,

Are you sure about the Tuttle Fin for the Mistral? My Mistral Edge uses a Powerbox fin. Although I am not familiar with the Explosion and my board is a 1996 model.

Big Jim, thanks for the tip. Don't remember the name of the beach but I found a shallow / sandy beach (way too shallow) just past Malmo. The wind was blowing 10 - 20 knots on shore. Everybody chickened out so the wife says I got 30 minutes to play before we head back to the cabin. Sloppyly rigged up...

Hi all, Leaving after work today to Milacs. I am bringing the family / kids and friends up for the weekend. We are staying at Little Whitefish Resort. I havn't sail there since Teran H. won the Crossing (1992?). Some of you old timers will remember that epic day where we crossed on 100 liter short b...

Hey Ippo: I agree with Coach. Janine, Pam, my brother and I all started out learning at Lake Phalen before progressing to the Bear. I remembered while learning to uphaul, the wind blew me to the other side. I would leave the rig there. Took a short walk (cussing the whole time) back to the parking l...

I was the other guy out on the Bear last Sunday Apr. 13 with the 2003 Loft O2 6.6 and my old Mistral 90 liter board. I weigh around 150 lbs. and I love to sail overpowered. I don't work for Randy (The House) but I am sold on this new camless design. I was very impressed with how this sail could be t...
