I agree w/Mike. BFF can be very useful in overpowered conditions. It really sinks the tail of the board long enough for you to get your front foot in. But...
It's about time!!! It has been way too long since this thread has been visited. Since the membership is over 600 now, we should re-visit the windsurfer's...

Hey Lisa, I hear you and you're not alone. I'm not single, but my boyfriend doesn't sail much, so I head to the Gorge alone when the urge hits and he has other...
In overpowered conditions like he described, getting on a plane isn't the problem. It's getting on a controlled plane without getting yourself launched....
There's another flip side to this: A Hood River friend finally asked if I were gay, because he had seen me solo for years all summer long in the gorge. "No,...
I've never (deliberately) weighted the tail before planing. Guess I'll have to try your approach to see what it adds to the procedure. Mike \m/ ... From: "Dan...
As far as the places I've been on the learning curve it seems like the cure for various ailments is always the same: MFP. Mast Foot Pressure. Once your harness...
That's the point: there IS no relative calm in the conditions -- both wind and terrain -- I prefer to sail in and that Ralph inquired about. In a full-on...
Try weighting the mast instead of the back of the board and I'm certain you'll find the board a lot more amenable to footwork. Weighting the tail means the...

All, I have to agree 100% and have never convinced some fly weight sailor friends of mine that for the big boys at 200 LBS BFF works due to the weight...
That's exactly right for me too, in super gusty or huge swell conditions BFF saves many a spill and makes sailing much more comfortable and enjoyable. The...

Hi Leslie, I don't know....yet. I've e-mailed Charlie and Brian. I'm sure we will be somewhere.... if I don't hear back I'll stop at Coulon first. Either wasy...
Dr. I'll head to Coulon too. I don't think anyone knows what is going on :P Don't know about Aruba. I need to go down to Panama and visit family in december....

Right smack on. In fact, I put a centerline strap in front of my front straps on my first short board while learning to sail it in horribly gusty Rocky...
Hi Lisa: I don't know about any good campgrounds for singles. Tucker Park and Viento are the most popular windsurfing campgrounds. The Bingen Hostel is pretty...
