The southern end of Corsica has some very good windsurfing. There're a couple of places on the southeast corners the rent, but I've not been there. I did see...
Leo, No FW experience here... but lots of experience rigging, carrying, uphauling, beach starting, water starting, drying, carring for, and storing big sails....
I've sailed both 9.5 and 12.5 sails and weigh about the same as Leo does. Carrying an 12.5 out to the beach is not that much mode work than a 9.5. Both are...
Good points Leslie. And you have a good attitude about carrying around the jumbo sails, "it's just part of the workout". Certainly true... however, if you have...
Another thing I've noticed with a bigger sail. The gusts are bigger. At least they feel that way because the bigger sail feels the wind more. My current "go...
Thanks Dan. Bonafacio looks like one spot on the southern end but it seems to be a sheltered harbor. I will be looking for some swell action around there. I...
AHD 8'6" Wave Force, almost perfect condition, great Gorge board or higher winds in Seattle $495 9.5 Sailworks Retro, great shape, no tears, no errors, works...
Hey everyone, A small group of us kiteboarders (and windsurfers including myself and Jim Butrick) that regularly kite and at Magnuson park have been meeting to...
Greg and Leslie, thank you for your perspectives. I have been sailing for many years but I only got into big gear last year. I like the fact that it enables me...
I would be interested to see a matrix of sail size to weight. For example if a 220lb person was on a 12.0 what size would a 125lb person use to accomplish the...
Greg's chart is pretty good. Let me chime in about one small piece of the chart. If I took a 10.4/FW/65 or 11.0/FW/70 out in a solid 15mph steady wind, not...
Thanks Rick... I was totally "winging it". And I completely believe that at 200# you would be doing exactly as you say on formula with a 10.4 or a 11.0. So...

I made this sail chart up in response to Doug's challenge to generate a matrix of sail size to sailor weight. He wanted to know what size sail a smaller person...
In fact, I can comment about a 9.0 in 15 mph winds at 200 lb. At the Florida Windfest 2 years ago, while practicing prior to the first race I broke my 11.0...
... Don't know for sure, but I believe I, 200 lb, can plane a 115L slalom board in 15 mph wind with a 7.0m2. I know Gary Martin can plane his 120L slalom board...
Bruce and I got a chilly session at Newcastle today (Saturday). I didn't think it was going to happen since I've got an inch of snow on my lawn, but the wind...
Hey I saw you two :) I was heading westbound over the Mercer Island East Channel Bridge at approx 4 pm. And just out of instinct, I looked south down to the...
Way powered 4.2+ stuff, good sized terrain, blew pretty much all day. Pics of AV from Seattle (blue sail) and Gene G from B'ham (green sail). A couple good...
... Excellent photos - I thought about WB, but was scared off by the possible snowy drive in the van. I would have got worked too, but at the least the water...
Mike, Thanks for the pics - it was good to see you again, look forward to next time. Gene was ripping. It was sort of a 'raggedy ann and andy' show out there....
Great pictures, clearly I should have headed to West Beach on Saturday morning, arghhh. Instead, I sailed at Cline Spit. Very powered on a 3.7 from 10:00...
Actually the wind died sometime midday, for about 1/2 an hour, must of been shortly after it died on you. I was thinking about tossing up a big kite when it...
Sure thing Adam. WB! That place is crazy, glad to have good lens fodder in between my spanking sesh's, pics of empty waves get boring quick! Great day, I'll be...
I am moving to newer house with a large storage walkin area under the house. There are 2x4’s about every 2 feet holding up the house. I am thinking of...
I have 6 boards (2 longboards and 4 short boards) stored horizontally in my garage, similar to what you're talking about. I have open 2x4's like you, but I...
I store my boards vertically, and haven't had any problems. It's more space efficient, and all the boards are easily accessible. I also put sails and masts...
