In the Winter 2008 WINDSURFING magazine, tip #8 shows how to make a freestype board with a small fin and a single back strap go better upwind. This would also...
The tip that's always worked well for me is (along with the others already discussed): - Upwind - bent front leg, straight back leg (move your body weight ...
Waverly 1-3. 4.2, 77L board. At around 2:45 I would have had to rig a 3.5. Crazy gusts.. I had a heck of a time making it back in. Only one other sailor, 51...
Phil, Saw you out there. Could not go but it looked like you were having fun. The other guy got caught up against the pilings. Felt sorry for him. Looked like...
We had Adam, Jim, Mark, myself and a few others out at Maggie late in the day. Most of us on 4.2's dialed to OP. Not too gusty, just about right for 4.2's. ...
John M and i sailed coulon today for about an hour just before dark. It looked light at first so I rigged 7.5. That was about 1 m too big. Made it work but it...
And three epoxy raceboard and a clam sandwich eposy wave board. A bunch of masts, booms, wetsuits, and harnesses. Gotta pay the rent! [Non-text portions of...

This would make a great gift for a beginner or intermediate sailor. I am 5'8" and weigh 140 lbs. This gear has brought me a lot of fun. The board has enough...
Mike asked, "What software programs are best for plotting information?" It sounds like he just got the Garmin Foretrex 101... and I just got the Foretrex 201,...
serial ports are a very old interface and a lot of computers do not have them nowadays. You could probably pick up a serial PCI card from FRYS that would go...
Couple things. If you have a GPS receiver that has a non-USB serial cable (my old Etrex is like this), and you have a computer or laptop that has plenty of USB...
Thanks Leslie for that info and those tips... and thanks Rick for the excellent tutorial. I will go to Fry's and... I will read up on those links from Rick....
I use GPS trackmaker software. The basic is a free download and can be displayed on Google Earth. The site is http://www.gpstm.com/ . It should do most of...
Get a 5.6m Sailworks Hucker. Lots of controlled power in a small package. Once you have sailed a Hucker you will never go back to ordinary sails. Sailworks...
I like this review that says it is more like an 80's sail. http://www.sailworks.com/06/pdfs/Hucker56.pdf ... From: Glenn <glenngjr@...> Subject: Re: WTB...
When the Hucker first came out, and Bruce described it, my thought was, "OK, they are reverting back to the bad ole days of draft too high that will pitch you...
Morgan, Yep I agree. And if you're gonna consider the Hucker (and if you're looking for a bargain) you might also consider any really good slalom/bump&jump...
... Hucker ... can lock ... jumping the ... means ... racing. ... Slalom racing isn't just about straight line speed - it's also about how well you jibe, and...
When a gust hits the hucker I do not get rag dolled, I just go faster (or higher if I am in the air). I have rented other sails where a gust deformed the foil...
Yeah... and in the size that Morgan is asking about, I don't get pitched by my '93 UP sails either. In sails under 6 M. the boom is short enough, that the...
http://www.riding4adventure.com/products.htm Unfortunately, I just got one from gpscity.com for $137...the gps thread should be helpful when I start using it...
You need to give the Huckers a good chance. The first time I sailed one I felt like I was getting pulled around a lot- much like the reviews describe....
Corrie, The original poster, Morgan, said he was "looking for a used sail between 5.7 and 5.9 that would rig on a 430 mast"... And that's all he said. He...
Good points Mike, For a little more $ you can get really good sails that are fun to ride, look really cool, jump well if you want to, have really good range...
... There are many "right" answers.... and just one "right" answer doesn't always fit a certain persons needs. Like one of my old coaches used to say, "It all...
