Yes Don, we still have loads of snow and 2-3' of ice underneath. You never know with the weather lately, but I'm guessing we'll be on the water in May this...
Hey Gang, Just wanted to let you all know that we'll be hosting the 2010 Canadian Masters Championship here in Dryden, Ontario August long weekend! We would be...
Hi guys! Getting close to that time of year. Are you READY for the 2008 Spring Season? THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! I need to clean house... If it's not sold ...
... Hey Myron.....being the thrifty guy that I am, let me know what day you're heading to the dump and where it is, and I'll meet you there....lol. Just...
It's a little early yet. As a general guide though... Worst case, 2-3 more weeks after the red opens through the city before the lagoons (and tiny lakes) are...
Just had a look at the latest satellite images of the lakes and things are looking similar to last year (close, maybe a bit behind). The Red and Winnipeg...
Ithink this will be the weekend to get on the lake or at least a lagoon. If no sailing I'll use my new stand up paddleboard. Which lagoon is usually open...
Willow is normally the first to open, was speaking to Mark at Boost today and he thought it was still frozen. Latest satelite shots are either cloudy or at an...
I was looking at the shots from last year, and lake was clear of ice by May 8th. Comparing what happened last year we are about three weeks behind, which...
Hi Don, As far as I know Lawrence Stewart is still the admin. for the group. We are starting to get ready with our club's busy season ahead. The ice is almost...

I was flying over the south end of the lake today. Ice is off all lagoons I could see, and well out from shore (maybe 1/2 mile). It's late late late, but...
and where are you going? Please post. I am thinking of trying Patricia beach tomorrow, but think that the cold water may make the wind skip. Might end up at...
wind looks good, temp will be cold. willow sounds better than pat as we'll have wind from the land rather than off the lake. let's check tomorrow morning..... ...
Hi, I was just wondering what sail and board sizes you guys use in Manitoba winds? I'm fairly new to windsurfing, but I'm learning fast and I'm looking to get...
Sean, Depending on where you sail and how often you want to sail the 6.0 with a 135 liter board is probably a great next board for you. It will help you learn...
Sean; I agree, but also recommend you get a smaller sail (4.5-4.7) for the windy days. That 6.0 will be tough in 20 knots plus... ... on ... knots. ... step, ...
Thanks for the advice! I got a good idea of what to go with now. One more question for you guys, probably a more opinionative one... Are high carbon content...
As a general rule, the more the merrier. Higher carbon means less weight. It always depends on what you're willing to pay, but definitely give the higher...
Definitely agree with Al the more the merrier. Higher carbon masts are lighter, and more responsive both of which will help you get planing earlier, and with...
