... I've also been considering this dilemma, but with regards to the next size up. My quiver (until yesterday) was: RW 256 - 80L, 5.5m2 and smaller AHD 63 -...
Thank you to everyone who responded. Bonaire gets to nod! We've been looking at the web sites and my wife is pretty excited about it. The long journey from...
Let us know how it works out. We've also considered it, but the travel time (with our limited time off) has prevented it. Maybe next year.... ... From:...
I'll second the ABK plug. I did the 3 day camp this summer at the Gorge and was quite impressed by the quality of the instruction. Very fun camp regardless of...
Try to fly American (Eagle). They are usually more reliable getting to Bonaire. Things change down there though. I recommend spending some time in this forum: ...
I'm really happy with my Real Wind 253 "Fish" 90L. I use this board with sails in the 5.7m to 4.0m range. I also have a 75L Open Ocean glass board that I use...
ABK camps are great - your wife would have a great time learning with others who are going through the same thing. I'm going to San Pedro, Belize in Jan - a...
I too use my Real Wind Fish most of the time in the Gorge. I use it 4.2 up to 6.2 It really responds to fin changes. It's hard to believe that a 1/2" fin...

UPDATE Fritz said "If you have a longish layover in Miami airport go to the hotel pool in the airport, you don't have to leave security. It's up on about the...
Too bad, but good to know. It sure was a haven from "normal" airport hospitality. Notice how all the benchs are now made to discourage sleeping? Fine, I sleep...
Regarding bonaire travel ... we've gone there 3x from SEA and it had been nasty, but continental will start weekly direct service mid-dec (Saturdays) from...
Steve, I'd like to hear more about your experience at the gorge camp. I'm an advanced intermediate and was considering going to the camp this year. What were...
I heard that might start. But....always check. Bonaire seems to have a way of eating airlines. Jamaica went from regular service to limited with little...
I have a Nitro III, 12.5, that's just too big for me. While it's an older sail, it's seen little use and is in great shape. I think I've rigged it 6 or 7 times...
I tried a JP FW-Wave last April in Maui and liked it in the waves (this coming from a real novice wave sailer) but thought it was kind of bouncy at times. I...

Bob I would be interested in the 4.2 ZX and 3.2 Surflite, depending on their condition. Do you have photos? Debbie Devaris P.O. Box 96 Hood River, OR 97031 ...
I came into the camp comfortable in footstraps and harness, and was able to initiate jibes, but everything fell apart after the initial carve. I had been stuck...
Hi Bob I've actually been sailing more often here than I ever did in puget sound - but mostly on 7.5 and a XXX119 board, with the occasional 5.7 or 5.2 sesh, ...
Sorry to bug you guys again, but maybe some of you havenąt yet written to the Gorge Commission asking them to turn down BNSF RR application. If some of you...
Dawn patrol was a bust but the extendo lunch delivered. I'd say it pretty much was bonkers, waay wound up 4.2 with some smokin gusts, plus everyone is out of...
Mark, For me (200 lb) the 4.5 was too much in the gusts. In the lulls, however, the wind was barely moving at all. I estimated 10 mph or less. --Rick ...

Don Ledford and I and sailed Newcastle today from 2-4:30. I was briefly on a 6.7 then 5.8 wound up the rest of the session. No rain, and even some blue sky,...
I also love my RW Fish, use it about 1/2 the time at the gorge this last summer, 5.0 & 6.0 mostly. It's floatier than my older 109L Mistral since the...
The rain this morning at Marrowstone was coming sideways from approximately ESE at a speed of about 20-25 knots. I think there was some air/wind between the...
I'm new to windsurfing and have been keeping an eye on the wind readings around the Bayview area. Although I'm not yet water starting and do not feel confident...
I've been looking for a replacement board for my ~80 ltr Rutger. I see the Fish offered in a 253 only. I'd be looking for something a little less floaty....
