LAKAWA

On Tuesday of Last week at Eagle Lake, Near Mankato, when jibing, I flipped the sail so fast that the boom (once coming around) came right back to my TWO hands, and I grabbed it! Is this what's called Gybing like a hero? Well, it felt good, maybe it's wrong but I liked it! Chime in if you have comme...

I, Quetzalcoatl was considering a long road trip to catch some wind in Eastern SD on Sunday last. But, when I checked the Sunday morning forecast, it looked like some of the cold front was now extending (a little) out of the Dakotas and "incapsulating" a bit of SW Minnesota. So,,,,,instead...

The term "Windsurfing" might excite more newcomers if the term were to be switched to "Sailsurfing." I say this for two reasons: 1) Sailsurfing visually places a sail to a surfboard. With Windsurfing, some people just can't figure out "how can you surf the wind on just a boa...

WOW,,,,We"ve got WIND!!!!!! Sure glad I kept my 2.8 Comabat sail! I DO have a mast for it too! Unfortunely I'm at work.... Isn't the Worthington Windsurf Regatta and Unvarnished Music Festival THIS weekend? If you're not at work, Then you should be WINDSURFING right now. No EXCSUSES! Sail hard ...

On Saturday, April 13th, "I'm going Windsurfing!"

Quetzalcoatl out.

Greetings Hutch: Great to hear from you. I'm still enjoying your Ezzy 8.0 Freeride sail. But I don't think you are giving up windsurfing completely because you didn,t include your 8.5 Ezzy Cheetah on your for sale list. My current cell phone is 507-261-1901. Safe Journeys. Eric. AKA----Quetzacoatl.

Yeah. Wind was weaker on Pepin that day,,but also later in the day around 4:30 pm.

PS: My "Wave Sail" is a 7.5!!!!

Quetzalcoatl out.

Glad to hear it.

Yo, Quetzalcoatl, DID sail on Friday, March 1st, 2024. I launched from Roadside Park two miles upstream from Lake City. All open water and I never had a "lull" moment. Air was real warm, fingers never felt cold. I had my Dry-suit on, Hood and 6mm thick booties. Dakine Mitts with a big hole...

See you there. I'll be rolling in before 1200? Eric F.

Pete, are you sailing tomorrow, Thursday? Where? Are you bringing your 85 liter Pocket Tabou?

I'm sailing tomorrow, either Waseca or Cannon. Waseca, a bit stronger and longer. Cannon probably more fun.

Eric out.

OH MY GOSH!!!! Wind will be Nuking around 11 mph (nOrth WinD) on Sunday..... in Clear Lake, IA,,, 12 mph in Worthington. This is perhaps worth rigging the Biggely Sail (11 meter) and Formula board? Well, It is oficially still Summer. So, maybe it's worth it. OR wait till NOVEMBER? 11mph is doable wi...

Okay: it's Sept. 1st and that means three months left of windsurfing (or kiting or foiling or winging) to go. In Mid december you can sail in South Central Iowa. Winds are slowly coming back. 10ish wind speed SAt. sun. and MOnday will be 18ish! Get out there and sail hard!! Sail SO hard you break a ...

Well, one way to NOT get skunked is not to go Windsurfing. But,,,I can't do that.

As frustrating as this summer has been I CAN say that of the Only seven times I've gone sailing, I never once got skunked.
I was planning every time I went. So There you have it.

Quetzalcoatl out.

I hope you week day windsport enthusiasts have had lot's of fun with this Fantastic Wind midweek.... I could not get any days off (due to co-workers beating me to it), thus I hope to get some leftovers on the weekend. I look forward to 12ish wind? (on Saturday). With forumula board and 11 mt. sail I...

Anybody get some wind lately? Not me,,,it's been three weeks since I last sailed. Wow:! this is rough! It's just is not happening. Yeah, Summer can have long bouts of no wind, but this is ridiculous! It might as well be Winter! Then I'd be doing some snow things. But wow,,,I just want at least 11 mp...

Yeah!! Steady rain for around Rochester, Mankato, Clear Lake, but only Showers for Round lake with WIND! (on Sunday).

The Legend out.

WIND?!!!! yES,,,,, rOUND lAKE, mN AND wORTHINGTON sUNDAY AFTERNOON!!!!

Quetalcoatl out.

Yeah,,,,it's not uncommon to get trapped briefly under the sail when ya fall in. And usually it's just a matter of swimming out from under the sail. But this time....(as I mentioned in a previous post), I was wearing a tight N-95 (with the two rubber bands around my head) and once in the water this ...

Hi Grant: I inadvertently slipped on the Keyboard and gave you ONE wrong number of my cell phone.
It is 261 (not 262).....So, it's (507) 261-1901.
Thank you.
Eric from YOUR original hometown. (yeah!) I really would like that Blast board!
