I have read about the concern about Westport sharks. I have surfed there for a few years, and only encountered one. He was at least twenty feet from me when I...
A guy gave a forward-loop clinic at the Event Site during Windfest. He said he broke his foot twice. He then starting wearing his straps super loose, and he...
The guy was wyatt miller. Definitely one of my fave sailors. I want to point out though that the super loose straps (basically not using straps until a...
Thinking of heading over to Cline Spit tomorrow. Myself and three others expected to be there. Leaving Kent about 10 am, getting there about 12:30. Anybody...
Box is like new and has lived in my garage. This particular size is no longer produced; it is long (long enough for two-piece windsurfing masts!) and narrow...
Sorry -- forgot to include a price. $490. Rather poor photos here <http://sports.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/NW-WINDTALK/photos/browse/8471> . If you're...
I made the trek to Westport on the fourth with my family; they boggie boarded while I surfed. The swell was 5-6', but peaky so it was pretty easy to get out. ...
I was down in Eugene on the 3rd and 4th. Yesterday, the 4th, it was pretty breezy, and really hot, in Eugene. I'm guessing there was some pretty good wind...

Although I didn't go the graph shows the classic pattern: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=46088&meas=wdpr&uom=E Starting at 5pm -- solid 20+ kts...
This radio station had a call in number with a wind report and what's happening in the gorge that I used to use a lot. Pretty accurate, too. My old cell went...
The local radio station forecasts are awful. I think my weather radio provides pretty good forecasts though. NOAA without the computer:) It's gonna honk...
92.7 does a wind report at about X:30 for the 6,7,8, and 9am hours. They don't update it for Saturday/Sunday. I still find the best bet this year is to call...
The forcast for next Mon-Wed is for off-shore flow so it should be plenty hot, my question is will the wind at Harrison lake (BC), which to my understanding...
I am planning a trip to Hood River to windsurf for the first time there. I plan on going to "The Hook" since that seems to be the most user friendly beginner...
The only small gotcha at The Hook is that there is some very minor river
current about 75 yards offshore straight downriver. If you stay within the
75 yards,...

The hook is good if you are learning to waterstart. If you have your waterstarts, then pick up a gorge guide and sail where there is wind. Marina, Eventsite,...
There was a huge cross-mountain gradient today. Wenatchee, Rimrock, Bumping were all roaring today, as was the Gorge. I expect more of the same tomorrow. We...
