I have a good friend wanting to get back into windsurfing.
Do you still have your gear and any boards to go with the sails?

Did they charge you anything to get your gear out of the ice?

KONA WORLDS Florida 2018
Kelly & I had a great time in Clearwater Florida at the Kona Worlds last week. We did not go to try and finish at the top but just have a great time with like minded people from all over the world. Below are some links to show you what you missed and hope to encourage some of the local sailors t...

I have been to Aruba and multiple times to Bonaire. Call me if you want my insight on those two spots.

Re: why MOST sailors lose speed during gybes...Most don't ca
I had a couple of fun, great feeling, fully planing gybes on the race course with a Kona board that hardly lost any speed in the gybe on Sunday at the Worthington event. I encourage anyone who wants to improve to attend one of these fun MOWIND race events. You can learn a lot from the other sailors ...

Re: maybe.."THE HOUSE" will rise again!!!!!....
The House does have at least one employee who still windsurfs. Kylan Johnson is a part time employee when he is not away at college. He wishes they had a little more high wind gear.

Re: Windsurf Man speaks: If U rent gear (Relax!! don't gripe
Solo Sports in Baja has great gear and better than what most people would have here for the local conditions of wave sailing. They get new gear every year and very well maintained. Not all windsurfing rental places are the same. There are some really good ones.

Might work better to put your gear in the classified section under the community tab.

Re: Sail stored needs tension at all three corners or else d
Might be a good idea to loosen the downhaul tension also during storage. Keeping the mast under constant pressure may cause issues and probably not good for the sail to be stretched in any direction for extended periods of time. Glad you have space to store it out of the sun.

Re: Kona Worlds in Islamorada - starts Oct 31st!
Nice article Michael. Really wish we could make it also. Have a hotel reservation available if someone still needs one. Rob let me know if your kids are ready for the Ezzy kids rigs or if you already have them windsurfing.

Re: Flying to Costa Rica This Weekend..
I have always found you can get away with more if you check your stuff in at the curb with the sky-cab or whatever they are called. They work for tips and giving them a good tip usually will allow you to get by with overweight/size bags. Its been a while but assume they still have this service at Mp...

Re: Recon mission to Cabaret Dominican Republic, Kite Beach
Too much to tell here. There is kiting in Bonaire but it is much more of a flat water windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling type of destination. If you are a kiter I think there are much better places to go for kiting.

Re: Recon mission to Cabaret Dominican Republic, Kite Beach
We have had 3-4 fantastic windsurfing trips to Cabarete and one as a family with our young kids before they started sailing. We have not been back in a while since Bonaire has much more friendly waters for young windsurfing kids. I would love to get back soon and play in the waves again. Attached a ...

Re: New film coming: "With A Kite"
Hey Kevin, All it takes is a few minutes to request Tugg to set it up locally. They do all the work and you only need to spread the word. Nothing to loose if not enough people sign up. The windsurfing community made it happen with the Children of the Wind movie from Bonaire. http://www.tugg.com/even...

to their e-mail contacts that would enjoy this since not as many may be checking LAKAWA during the warm lighter wind season.
