Anyone up for a lunch run in the rain?

I was tempted, but after Sunday and then Monday, my arms feel like they don't want to move. My neck is also pretty tight... probably from the tension of not knowing what to do as I got planing. Wheee!!! I'll wait for my body to recover.

Let us know how your lunch run went!

You should be having a divine lunch with wind speeds at 25 gusting to 35. Repeat of Monday with a few clouds in the mix? Wish I could join you. Stuck working and then some.... I know you will be flying.... Good for you.

See ya next time

Hoping the wind stays up late and I can hit Bellaire if and when it goes West.

Forget Bellaire Dave. Come join me at Mahtomedi. I'm hoping to hit the water at 4. I love the port ramps and swell on SW and W there. Just go north first and you don't have to worry about wind shadow.

I just finished a lunch session on WBL. Wow! White knuckle windsurfing. There were sheep in the field at Mahtomedi when I left. It should be good for the second shift.

I'm on software support patrol today helping some guy out in Dickinson, ND...unfortunately he's on Mountain Time so knowing my luck I won't get outta here till 6. If it's still blowing I'll try and join you at Mahto, Kevin. Just gotta stop by my house and grab some gear.

Whew, I set up the 7.4 as the wind wasn't that strong at 11:00. Time I got rigged up and in the water the winds started kickin huge... made it a couple laps, but what way over-powered and didn't have time to switch sails due to that dang thing called getting back to work.

What size sails are you guys using on days like today and Monday?

Mike W · Post by **Mike W** » Wed Sep 15, 2004 8:29 pm

Jared, I kited Monday, but both days were about 4.5-5m windsurfing.

Hey Mike, remember the "weight" factor

. I rode my 4.0 and eventually went down to a 3.5 Monday during the more fully powered time of the day at the Bear.... I weigh 145 so I usually carry 1.0M to .5M less sail than the bigger guys.

Hey Jared, are you a Cat 3 roadie for the Birchwood team? I haven't raced in a few seasons and used to ride as a Cat 3 for 3VBC/Team Leinies. I'm starting to get the itch to race again but windsurfing sure beats going out on a ride on a day like Monday.

Yea, that's me. Still racing, but trying to find more hobbies when I stop.
