Josh Stone freestyle clinic at the event site. Josh seems so friendly and full of stoke! After the clinic sPk and I went to The Wall then Rufus. sPk cruised back to The Wall and i stayed at Rufus for some good powered up riding from 2PM to 8PM. Ran out of light for sailing. I was at Rufus from 4 un...

OK, I live in Portland and I haven't sailed in over a year :cry: . You guys inspired me to start up again. It going to be 95 in PDX tomorrow and that means thermal winds out west. So I thing I will head west to Nuke Alley(accross the river from Jones Beach). It's not as intense as the Gorge, but the...

I once saw a guy with a U-haul rental truck at the Hatchery, the kind with a big cube shaped cargo area. He was able to put rigged sails in the back.

FYI:I think Hoyle Schweitzer claims the invention and actually sold Winsurfer brand boards.

I did a google search and found a Russian site with an article. Maybe Gene Reshanov can translate, if he is still around.

Pete, There used to be a mechanical engineering student that showed up every winter on Lake Calhoun with a new ice sailing invention. Was that you? I remember the cool steering linkages with shock absorbers only an engineer could invent. I've been in Oregon for 8 years and am thinking of moving back...

So what's going on back there then?(I can still write Minnesotan )

I get the Startribune on my Palm Pilot and it sounds like you are turning very un-Minnesota like. Is it time to adjust to Minnesota winters without snow?

I'll bet it is. quick show of hands... Has anyone with windows seen this clip? I'll start the counting now. and it starts with zero. It runs on my win98 windows media player 7.01. It's really a good video. Too bad you can't see it. :cry: GSpot says it is a MJPG movie running under a microsoft direc...

:?: Does anyone know how ice really works?. I know it takes more energy to cool than to heat, does this mean ice will melt faster than it will thicken?. My Cliff Claven like explanation from what I remember from school too many years ago. Heat is energy and adding heat raises the temperature and re...

Joe Murphy, who used to windsurf Calohoun skied across Antarctica. I searched the web for his book about the trip, but couldn't find it. I did find a different ski trek using kites(or is it a sail?) though. http://www.dtic.mil/armylink/news/Dec2000/annsail1.jpg http://www.dtic.mil/armylink/news/Dec2...

Ever since I had my best Thanksgiving ever on Lake Mohave, I like to check the winds there this time of year. Lake Mohave is a the next resevoir down stream from Lake Mead near LV NV. The winds for last week matched the year I was there when it was so windy they closed the lake to boats. Observation...

I really like your new format :D I use a similar type of chat when I read the Geocaching Forums for my new hobby. I'm slowing down to I guess. I check in infrequently and the sort by date really helps me find what's new. No snow out here in OR yet. There have been huge winter easterlies the last few...
