March 1st, Windsurf opener (I did it!)....open water and wind.....

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...

Pete, are you bringing your 85 liter board tomorrow, Thursday?

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.

A Blasting 11 mph Nortdh wind for Clear Lake, IA on Sunday...

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...

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 ...

I never got skunked this summer of 2023....

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.

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 ...

Re: windsurfing sails, booms, masts to give away

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!

Hey Pete: Did you sail out ofPepin, WI. on Sunday or sail the Carpet Ride at Byllsby with the West wind? Myself, I sailed late Sunday Afternoon (after some more Plum. projects at the Cabin).

12 mph wind is sailable (and "plannable"), I'm taking 3 sails, the 8.5 will be my wave sail

O-kay.....the "EL nino" effect is in FULL effect, effecting our wind. SO: 12 mph is as good as it gets! I will be Hydroplaning on my wide =SWISS made board (AHD) and 10.5 meter Loft sail. But, just in case wind gets a little stronger I'll have on hand my 9.5 and 8.5 sails. The 8.5 sail wil...
