Hang on - I didn't mention "big swells". in fact I would estimate them no more than 1 foot. Barely enough to ride them on the downwind leg. 3 feet would be...
When I was kneeing on my board to drift in, my face was about 4' above water. Some of the wave tops were almost level to my eyes when I was riding through a...
Same happened here... I failed to escape work, so gambled it would improve and I missed rides from ~11 to 1pm, then it dropped. Some teaser winds now but...
In the race course, waves were in the 1-2 ft range. There were two areas where we got bigger waves: (1) South of the first mark (I ended up there and after...
I said yesterday, "All 4 reports mentioned the big swells. I agree, very big swells considering the light/marginal winds... and I fell in twice during tacks...
We made the news!!! LOL Very nice shots, I will email the photographer and ask if he can upload these photos in our folder for this year. Also, I would...
I must have sailed late. Admittedly I did drop my sail once and I am very ashamed of it but I wouldn't go as far as blaming it on mast high swells ;-) Michal ...
Good find Giovanni !!! And yeah... but the best action shot is #9 out of 23. Both of them fully planing on a beam reach, and flyin' off a piece of chop at the...
I think that shot was just before we crossed the finish line at the end of the third race. --Glenn R. Ok... maybe it is... I'll look at the video to see if I...
I've added my photos from the Waterland Blog to your 2012 racing folder. I'll try to get out there and shoot your remaining races in Des Moines when time...
With iSonic 111/42cm Deboichet fully powered (no schlogging). The wind was totally filled in shore to shore and even though the tide was coming in the same...
After an afternoon of nothing, the Westerlies kicked in at North Beach. Rigged a 6.3 / 130 ltr and quickly discovered it was windier than it looked. One run...
... Lake Wenatchee is already showing solid caps and the gradients are rising. Might be one of those days when Lake Wen. is better than the Hatch. I'm...
Great idea Brian. Let's work on possible dates. If it's a day I'm not working... I'll be there. Also, let's pick a date that isn't a Gorge race day... that...
Just before our traditional, local race series, started this season... someone said, "City League... stop talking and just go sailing".Yes, of course, we'd all...
Wow, that is a nice piece of history. As a newbee to the Seattle area and a historian at heart, I always like to read posts like this one. Basically, it is...
Wenatchee was really good. I sailed 5.5m2, but 5.0m2 would have been better. I overlapped an hour with Brent, but otherwise had the water to myself. Lots of...
Rimrock was windy and wildly gusty today. You needed a 6.5, which is what Craig had. He was well powered but comfortable. I managed a few rides with my...
Today, we had our first of the season "Windsurfing Together" event at WYC. It was a great success with 8 WYC members sailing in Union Bay. There was enough...
These are all great ideas. I have sent several emails about holding some additional City League events throughout the region to serve as promotional events for...
