I rented a board from Dana Cagen of Kanaha Kai for the first time in April (I brought my quiver). They are limited on variety but they had what I wanted...
Al and I had the first east wind rooster rock session of the late- summer season. Sailed for almost 3 hours on my 3.5m + OpenOcean 75L. Lots of small but...

Interesting..after sailing Doug's *a lot* I found this year that the best swell in 4.2 to 4.7 conditions was at low water levels. I am thinking that the water...
Good observation. My general theory on swells is that they are best when the wind is accelerating. Shortly after the wind goes up an notch - there is usually...
Mon & Tues were both good 4.5m days at The Hatchery. It looks like there is no end in sight into the weekend. Crowds should be a lot less in September. bobg...
I sailed the Hatch Monday and while the wind was great, I was reminded of why I don't sail there much - it was crowded as all get out and I spent more time...
Agreed. While I was jonesing for a sail after several weekends of crap (and many reports of excellent weekday conditions), I pulled off I84 to see what the...
Hey Folks, I started a Yahoo group with a very targeted focus: Freestyle Windsurfing. If you're into freestyle or looking to get into it, this group is totally...

Looking for a couple of boards. 1 - 85 liter(ish) FSW type board. 2 - 70 liter wave board - for gorge bump and jump. Newer designs and no repairs please. ...
2004 Fanatic Goya PM (Pro Model) 81 Wave board. This board really rips on waves. It is in near perfect condition, extremely light and turns on a dime. This...
Hatch is so dang over-crowded all summer.... launching is a logistical nightmare, psycho wind conditions are so up & down (check today's wind chart), and the...
The Hatch has been AWESOME the past couple of days. The swell sets up nicely and yeah the crowds suck but if you travel just a little you can be out there...

Yumm.. Fast Flats Sailing - Yes! As much as I try and maximize the 'surf' part of windsurf, I've always been a 'boardSAILOR' at heart. Must have been my years...
Agreed. The Hatch can be crowded, but all it takes is a couple of reaches up or down wind and you can have the river all to yourself. Especially if you go...
A bit of a wild ride today. I rigged my 4.0m went out for an hour and got pretty overpowered. Came in, ate lunch, was going to rig down, then the wind...
Nothin' better than sailing open space with a nice mix of fast flats and smoothie swell..... IMO, doesn't get better than that no matter what sail size (as...
Really, what recreation area is not crowded on the weekends? While I would have preferred winds to be spread out throughout the gorge on the holiday weekends,...
All these new age board names confuse me: you did a Change 360 on your Carvo, or was it vice-versa? Just kidding! That's awesome. I don't think I ever...
... Sure, crowded weekends and especially holiday weekends I can understand, but this summer seemed like a bigger crowd than normal at the Hatch. Maybe...
Hi Pete, I also swear by my Open Ocean 8'2". It is a sweet, sweet ride in the swells and carves so easily. bobg ... understand, but this summer seemed like a...
I've never sailed at The Wall, but I keep hearing people say the swell is great there. When I head out that way I usually go to Maryhill because of the nice...
