It looks like it was harder to save your rig than your board today. I'm glad all three (including you) made it in safely. From iwindsurf: Post subject: Rig...
I would like to thank everyone involved in my rescue on Sunday at Dougs. I went for a jump and my board and rig separated. The board went east because of the...
I am happy to hear that you have reunited with your rig and board, and that you are ok. Three cheers to the people out at Doug's who got the word out and that...
Thanks, The guy who rescued me just had to tow me in, without any equipment. However it was blowing 40 mph with swell. I tried to grab on to the foot strap and...
Glad to know everybody pitched in to help out and that everybody returned in good shape. One thing I did last Thursday when the Hatch was really windy was to...
Hi Trudy, Glad you made it in OK. Did you figure out the cause of the separation? Also, how did the folks get your board and rig towed back in? I always carry...
... Not sure until I go pick up my rig, but pretty sure the u-joint was in good working order. I was on the water at 10 am and broke down around 4 pm, I did...
... Not sure, the rig came apart in mid-air in a jump. It was blowing 2.8 for women and I was on a 3.4, I inspected the bottom part of the u-joint and it looks...
Glad you're OK, Trudy, and cudos to your benefactors. Had a similar thing happen in Gulf of St. Lawrence many years ago, when I was a strong kid. I managed...
I am always interested in rescue ideas so I read through the link shown below. My favorite broken mast method is not shown there and I have never seen it...
Looks good for the next few days, might have to sail in the clouds. EASTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE OF WASHINGTON- INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...THE DALLES...WHITE...
I have a Mistral Score 98 from about 2003 that I use in marginal or flakey gorge winds - 5.2 and 4.7 for 160# sailor. It has a relatively flat rocker from the...
Hi Gary, Depending on the other boards in your quiver, I'd go with something in the 95L - 110L range for your "big Gorge board". I define light winds in the...
Gary, I'm considering a 98L Naish Global Wave. I weight around 195 lbs but do believe I can carry up to a 6.0 on this board. The reviews say the Global Wave is...
Gary, I've got a 2004 RRD FSW 90L that has the "fastback" which makes it plane up incredibly fast. I've been planing no problem on that board with a 4.7 when...
I got the Skate 107L to replace the JP 120L as my "big board". The JP was good for 5.7m and above (I do have a 7.2m that I rarely use). The Skate I'll use...
It looks like a big weekend for wind shaping up - at least according to iwindsurf: "West 23-27 on Friday east of THe Dalles. West wind 24-28 on Saturday. West...
My big board is a Quattro 90L. I am 200#, and use this board for 6.0m and 5.0m sails, which for me is around 22 - 28 mph winds. My small board is an RRD 70L,...
I can certainly understand not wanting to lug 3 boards around, not to mention the additional expense. Depending on the forecast, I can usually get away with...
I made the drive out east, but couldn't find any company at Maryhill or The Wall. Stopped at Celilo, and found a couple folks rigging. Sailed there for a...
Bob, Next time try going up river to the bend, supposed to be less chop and you can see the barges coming down the river earlier. Let us know if it is true. ...
I left my harness at Doug's yesterday, Saturday June 8th, its a dark blue DaKine Thermoform2. Please call if anybody has info 541 510 3477 Thanks, Mike ...
Is anyone working on a surf crash pad in the Gorge? I have a hide-a-bed that was given to me and I no longer need. The bed part would probably be good for...
It was a nice 4.2 session at The Hatchery on Sunday from 9-11 before the crowds showed up and the wind started to die. Temira called it right again. "It's...
Great day today - finally starting to feel a bit like summer. I got to the Hatch around 1PM and had to park in the back row for the first time this season....
