Had a nice flat water sesh here in Sioux (22-37k winds)
Mutton has nice rocky reefs on each side of it. The N side ate a fin of mine once – Strat’s ol’ Bic. We’ll have to try a trip out to the Welcome Is sometime. On a warm sunny day it’s “like” sailing in Aruba except for the 3C water.

Hey, I did get out for a sail at the marsh today after our Shaw course. Light winds. Sailed around mutton island, found a few rocks…sailed right back in!! going for wings with TBay Ray at Fat Cats.
Back tomorrow!!

I had the mast at the very back and a foot in the back strap heading on almost a broad reach – couldn’t load up the small fin much. Water was very flat. I think the Equipe can go over 40 in the right conditions. Hope our fins come in soon!
Hope you get a chance to sail the marsh in TBay – watch out for the rock pile – straight out about 500ft in line with the lighthouse.

Warning – the max speed reading is sometimes way off. I checked the track data from the GPS and the fastest run was only about 32kph. Although the data also showed a 57kph run up the beach! I think I would have felt that one.

Holy Crap!! 42.5 on the Equipe! That is so cool. I wonder what it would feel like at that speed with that board. Did the board not want to lift on you?? You must have been in flat water??
Way to go!!!

Hey Paul! Strat and me got out today too, and I had a great session! Perfect wind for my 7.1m, but no clue how many kmh!? GPS went to T.Bay with Woody! Wow - I sound like a real Windsurfer!

Just got 42.5km on the Equipe/9.3. Tried to do better on the F155 but the wind died. Great day out there today!

Unmotivational weather just makes me a websurf potato. Just came across the speed records for kiting. 54+ MPH on hockey skates!!! Eeeek. http://www.stormboarding.com/pages/2/index.html Nice to see a Canadian clocking 66.9mph in Alberta - check the video http://www.flysurfer.de/images/Gallery/albums/album01/Speed_Kite_WM9_1024K.wmv Interesting shape on the new flysurfer speed. Back to cocooning...
