For those of you interested in live cameras, I found a new one a few weeks ago. It shows the area from Wells Island to the Hook. Late in the year this is...
Bob, Never used a 2.2. Could have used a 2.2 at Doug's last spring. Used the 2.7 Monday at the Hatch. You missed a good day. ======================== Mike...
Hi folks! Being part geek, I decided at the beginning of this season to keep an excel spreadsheet of my windsurfing days, conditions, equipment used, etc. It...
Hi Frank, Your excel sheet sounds pretty cool to me, but then you know what category that puts me in. Any chance you can send me a copy of your sheet? I've...
I count 93 days sailing in the gorge this year so far on sail from 4.7 down to 2.7 with either a 75 or 65 liter board. I can get away with lighter gear since I...
Some old time windsurfers told me 10 years ago that Cascade Locks was great on easterlys. Several people used to sail east winds there and said the swells were...
... was ... and ... out ... for ... $1 ... Oh, The launch is just east of the Cascade Locks boat moorage. Easy parking and rig next to your vehicle....
I guess its an engineer thing. I have a spreadsheet too - very geeky. I've logged 67 Gorge days, and 83 overall days this year. Last year was the first time I...
I've logged 53 Gorge days so far on my spreadsheet. My median sail size is 4.4 and average 4.5. I sailed mostly an 85 liter Naish (I weigh around 190 lbs and...
If the wind shuts down or you have a breakage, what are the options for getting out of the water downwind/downstream??? --Glenn Reichenbach ... Locks ... found...
Jim, I assume you launched at CL on Thursday. The wind had a lot of North in it when I launched from Bob's that day. It took some waiting for a gust to get...
Rooster was humming on Sunday. I sailed 4.7m from 12:30 to around 3:30pm. About 10 other windsurfers out (and around 50 kites). Wind was gusty and shifty,...
I guess it is fair to say that the windonthewater sensor for Rooster reads very, very low?? Does i-windsurf provide more accurate data? If so yesterday was...
There's a Corbett sensor that reads quite low - there's often a big difference between the wind at Corbett (MP 22) and Rooster (MP 25). The iW sensor also...
Now that the season is winding down, I have three 2008 Quatro demo boards to sell. These boards are all "like new" with no dings or repairs. The price is...
We made the long drive to Maryhill (closed bridge adds about 15 min) hoping for some sunshine. No sun, a bit of rain, a little gusty, but still a decent 4.2m...
2006 Goya Freewave custom, 77L (the blue board). Great board, has had a few repairs done professionally by Pierre. Is now dry and tight, comes with DaKine...
Sunshine was few and far between. Arrived at Doug's shortly after noon on Saturday, and saw that it was gusty 4.0/3.2 I-windsurf was reading high 20's at...
Saturday I went to Mosier. An excellent day. Most people were on 3.5's. I was on the 4.1 and big board. Good wind then high gusts. That lasted until...
Wouldn't it be awesome if there were cams like HatchCam at all the major sailing sites? It's rather amazing that the Gorge is so un-cammed. If we could find...
There are something like 9 cameras in the Gorge and I have them all linked from West to East on my web page. http://windsurf.mediaforte.com If you look at the...
Nice links! But some of those cams are not too useful - too low-res, or too wide-angle. Would be great to have quality cams at: - Nuke Alley / Jones Beach -...
I'll vote for those. Had a sweet session at The Wall Monday. Warm, windy, wavy, wonderful. A nice southerly cant too, until later in the day. Not many people...
