Last couple of storms we had a while back gave me a chance to sail an 80L board with a 4.7 and 21 cm fin. That being the smallest set up I have used, it took...
The depth and area of a fin are important factors in sizing a fin correctly for sail size, but other things come into play as well. Wavy, swept fins generally...
Gary, The 80L I have is a Starboard Evo. I plan on sticking with the Starboard line since I have had good luck with them so far. Also since the Evo has an...
FWIW, I sailed the Kombats and JP equivalents last year in Baja, and liked the Kombats a lot. They were pretty fast and did just about everything when set up...
Cool thanks for the tips... I just bought a 25 cm Goya FreeWave from Windance. That's 4cm longer than the 21 I was using, and a similar shape too. Hopefully...
I am still a little confused about fin size for conditions. The way I understand it, if I use a longer fin in lighter wind conditions, I will help myself get...
In most cases, yes. A deeper reaching fin (vertical aspect) tends to offer more lift, even thought the narrower shape might have similar nominal area to a...

Leslie, I think the 25cm fin was a good choice for stronger winds. I have several 24cm and 25cm fins that work good from 4.8m down to 3.5m sails. With fins...
On a whim I bought a small, self contained video cam which can be attached to a helmet - an Oregon Scientific ATC 2K This will capture about an hour of 640x480...

This sounds interesting. Would somebody elaborate on the details of what this is for those of us not in the know? Thanks...

No, the new housing development east of Enumclaw does not threaten the Ditch since the Ditch is located further north in Veazie Valley. It runs parallel to...
It was up and down 5.6m to 4.8m conditions. When a rain squall would blow through it was almost 4.2m strength. Then the sun would come out and it would back...
... Bruce and I sailed at Maggie from about 9 to noon. Similar conditions. I took a 1 board - 2 sails approach - a 96L JP Super-X with a 12" fin and 5.5m2 or...
Will a longer fin provide more drag and tend to slow you down? I am thinking of an overpowered condition where you have a choice between a longer fin or...
it's the opposite: when OP-ing, you need a smaller fin (to a degree). OP-ing on a bigger fin means too much lift, which results in board going more out of...
Take a look at http://www.windski.com. It looks like a better design then the previous dual skis kind. It uses a fairly long and slightly wide ski, and has a...
