So Greg is available Oct 11, 12, 19 and 25. Those dates work for me too. We haven't heard from anyone else on their preferences, so I propose that we plan to...
I was looking at this coming weekend, too and it looked good. But if you cannot make this weekend, then perhaps I'll just use it for practice. I may take you...
Hi I would like to try this race not to win but to meat people in the windsurfing world in the N.W I don't have a long-board so can you use a formula board in...
This year I hope to sail IN it, rather than spot FOR it like I had to to last year (shoulder surgery). Any of those dates works for me. I have an old...
Tom, for me and I suspect for many people, too, the idea is to just complete the course without worrying what spot you come in. Some people do it on a formula...
Hey there, Thanks Mark for posting this again. And yes, I'm still planning on those dates. Unfortunately there's no way I can do this weekend... if everybody...
Speaking of formula sailing. I think the Winduro is easily doable if the wind is > 11 mph from the S. That is good enough to plane upwind on the west side of...
-Thanks for the reply I what to do the Hood River run next year and think this would give me a Idia if I can do it it is a 17 mile run any way thannks tom-- In...
I'm definitely interested in joining the Winduro but it's going to be hit or miss for me. I am coaching 10 little soccer players on weekends thru October....
-any way how do you get to the starting point and what time would it start-- In NW-WINDTALK@yahoogroups.com, John Fernstrom <itsnukin@...> ... hit or miss for...
I'll chime in. The starting point is Newcastle Beach park. This is well-marked on I-405. It is the 2nd exit past I-90 southbound on I-405. Try to be ready to...
This is a complete formula kit with your choice of rigs. Board is a 2007 Mike's lab L-7 with reflective travel bag(extra thick padding) $1100.00 Rigs: 2004...
SAT S WIND 10 TO 20 KT...BECOMING 15 TO 25 KT IN THE AFTERNOON. WIND WAVES 1 TO 3 FT BUILDING TO 2 TO 4 FT. This Sat looks like it could work at this point....
Darren, We are glad you are interested. The answer is No. Not this weekend. I know that the forecast looks good, but we want Greg to be able to do it and he...
If the wind is good I would be up for a practice run if some other people want to do it. Or I could just launch from Mercer Island and sail up and down of the...
Mark, You are TOO kind. (Way too kind :) But hey, do two Winduro's this month !! You, and Michal, Tom, Rick, John, Ken and Darren have all talked about it...
Probably best for me to do this incrementally (ie have a practice session or two!) anybody want to meet at 10am Newcastle BP on Sat or Sun? Darren ... about it...
Fellow windsurfers: Nancy Russell just died, who is the probably the single person we have to thank most for preserving the gorge. Among other things, she...

Would anyone be interested in launching from Proctor Landing on Mercer Island instead of Newcastle? The nice thing about this launch is that you get to park...
If there wind Sat or Sun, I will plan to practice at either Proctor Landing or Newcastle. For me it's formula or nothing. I have been spoiled by the lightness...
-I AM GOING TO TRY NEWCASTLE ON SAT- In NW-WINDTALK@yahoogroups.com, ... Landing or Newcastle. ... lightness and responsiveness of my formula gear. When I go...
Ahh... come-on Rick :) just yesterday you said that you might sail either one? And that you want to make it all the way around the island :) (And I'm just...
I think that in solid S wind going upwind on the West side of the island should not be a big problem on a formula board, and then sailing downwind on the East...
... Greg I am 185 lbs and it takes 15 mph for me to go up wind with any speed but my biggest sail is 7.7 But can make it up wind in 5 mph I have a friend 250...
Yeah, I was thinking about the longboard until I recalled the couple times I tried my old Superlight One with a 11.7 sail at City League. Yowsers, I hated...
Rick, You are describing some details of last year's Winduro. I remember them a little differently. I checked the NW Windtalk report archives and found that...
