I would guess that the Orcas can sense the human excitement in the area and come out of curiosity or perhaps to help in dangerous situations. Last winter in...
I saw a really cool "Swim with Dolphins" thing in La Paz this past Thanksgiving. Yes, you can grab a dorsil fin for a ride. But what was really neat is that...
Was supposed to blow on New Years day but it came in late, kept me up all night, and then stuck around all day. Dawn arrived in BHam with garbage cans blowing...
If you like terrain we sure as hell have it down here bro. We've been up over 20' with 30K wind for over a week. Lost a tug off Florence with one crew dead in...
Whoa, scary!! I don't think I'd even consider attempting the coast in winter storms. We love terrain and I'm sure our stuff is like a glassy pond compared to...

A good day at Brown's Pt. Nothing massive just good fun on winds from 12 - 20 mph that lasted most of the day. About 6 sailors showed up, plus a couple of ...
Post Point was good from about 10am to 1pm. Arrived at Willow Rd at about 10:30am to find Jon and Gene on the water with 4.2's and Mike and Brent were rigging...
I'm going to Oahu for a week this Spring and I'm wondering the best way to take all or some of my gear with me. I have a lite short board in a carry bag, as...
Got to try out my new JP Freeride 130 on Saturday for a few hours off of Lowman in 7.4 conditions. Sweet board, only 270cm, but 130 liters. I was really...

Hey "Hueffed"- Usually $75.00 each way to Oahu. I've had no problem (pre 911) with either airline. The threshold for taking your own gear is, IMHO, for 2weeks...
Made a 5.4 (175 lbs) with a F2 280 work off and on Saturday afternoon. Some fun but wish I could have been on a smaller board. Excellent sunset. Picked up a...
I found myself grabbing an unfamiliar mast pad out of my van on Saturday. It was found at Newcastle on the windy Friday over a week ago and I forgot I had it. ...
Thought I would put down my sailing stats for 2002. Perhaps someone besides me will find the sail size averages interesting. Great year with 53 sessions. I...

By "average sail size", do you mean median sail size or mathematical average? If the later, doesn't that calculation method give too much weight to large...
I just brought a sail back from Honolulu Hawaii on Hawaiian air. $75 is what they charge for board, sail, mast and boom. Before I flew I took the sail to the...

My buddy back east tells a great story about flying with gear. He bought a honking big travel bag and masterfully packed a board, several sails, masts and...

schlepping windsurf gear around just sucks - it actually costs 200 extra $ to have them break your gear, or it snaps in mast high surf at Lanes, as you go...
I'd agree. Cost being equal and transportation considerations at the destination aside, I'd go with my gear in a heartbeat. At Cabarete last winter, I busted...
Adam, You're playing with fire. Are you trying to have the wrath of the certain surgeon from Everett with an out of control "God Complex" come down upon you? ...
All joking a side, it should come as no surprise that in the wake of 911 airlines have become more stringent on a travelers baggage. Starting December 1st,...
