The Hatch was on!

Great sesh at the Hatch today. Sailed 3.4/86 super powered up, then switched to 72 liters which was so much better. I think I've found the sweet spot for the 72 liters: 25 knots gusting to 30. Landed some fat jumps and had some impressive wipeouts in front of the crowds :)

Florence day 3

I'm leaving early today before it gets big. Man those were some fine wave riding days. Will definitely come back.

Florence, OR

Back to civilization after camping outside Florence. We had a great day yesterday. Waves were moderate size with the occasional bomb. I was on 5.3 and 105, first time out I wanted to have some volume on my feet. Today is looking pretty much the same...

First day at Corpus Christi

I finally was able to come down to Texas and join the Chicago squad on a windsurfing trip! Condition went from 130/8.5 in the morning to 90/5.8 in the afternoon. Got to try lots of gear ;)

Hatch

Had a little warm up session today at the Hatch before getting on the plane on my way to Corpus. Conditions were quite good, too bad I had to leave soon. Rigged 3,7, 20 minutes later came back for a 4,2, and 20 minutes later back for the 3,7. Yeah it was that kind of day.

2016 season is on!

Welcome back! Yeah I've been slacking off. But here we are, it's 2016, my 10th windsurfing anniversary. Yeah 10 years and I can't still land a damn forward. Anyway, today was a pretty nice season opener at Stevenson. E at 25 knots. I was on 86/4.2, with my "east wind" 24 cm center fin. (I call it an East wind fin because it's massive and gets me back to the launch on East days when wind and river current go in the same direction). I was slightly overpowered, so I had do downhaul the crap out of the sail. There were three other windsurfers out, it was good to see other people!
Anyway, the season is awwwn! Can't be happier ;)
