Padre, spring break

I just got back from a week of windsurfing at Windsurf, inc. and we too had to deal with spring breakers when we left. It took us two hours to get to the bridge from the Seabreeze resort, and that was only accomplished by driving on the wrong side of Padre Blvd. against the oncoming traffic! All thi...

snowboard footstraps

I recall seeing a setup at Montana Kite Sports with ratchet adjustable footstraps that could be adjusted to different boots and/or tension, which I thought was a great idea, but as I recallKeith and his co-workers seemed to be cooling off on the idea because of the potential of popping out of one st...

Interesting question. Over the years I've discussed this question many times, not just with beginners, but also with experienced sailors who wanted to downsize their board and sail quiver because of hassle factor or "family interference". I moved here from a windier state and thus have a w...

Southeast of Missoula about 100 miles. Turn south at Drummond, travel through somewhat flat farm country, then up through a narrow, winding picturesque canyon to the lake, which sits at high altitude in a beautiful valley with the Anaconda-Pintlar wilderness mountains as a backdrop. There is a motel...

If you stay at 3 mile canyon, watch out for packrat attacks at night.. A friend and I had them invade our van one memorable night. Apparently they live in the riprap, as thats where the hoards escaped to when we woke up in the morning. They're as big as squirrels!

Clear Lake-Sunday

Sailed Clear Lake Sunday in lite winds; but planed with an 8.5 and a GT85.
Great day! Lake opens early because of aerators out about 200 yards from shore. Probably would not be very good in summer because of algae growth- it's very shallow.

snowfers and ice surfers

I'm interested in talking to the owner of the snowfer for info on how well it works on snow covered lakes, how well it turns compared to freeskates on clear ice, and info on differences between the different blade types, etc. Anyone else who has experience with the different types of sail powered ic...

Coach: Would you recommend the Formula type boards over the AHD GT85? They have both on sale now at the House. Other than pointing ability and a slight advantage in early planing, is there any other reason to consider them? I don't intend to go larger than a 10.5 sail, which the GT can handle, and I...

Thanks Eric and Rich, but the go 200 is too big; I don't want to go over 150 liters. If anyone has any experience with the AHD GT85, please let me know.

I've had an AHD Diamond Race 72 for a couple of years now and absolutely loved it. My wife is taking possession of it for next year, so I'm lokking to buy a replacement light wind board. I weigh 190, need to use a weed fin, and would like to use my 7.5. 8.5, and 10.5 sails with it. I planned to buy ...
