Cool Fall Events
Hi Everyone,
It's still summer and windsurfing Kiting & Standup Paddle Surfing are in full swing but we are kicking off that great time of year FALL! Temps cool, crowds thin, water stays warm and oh yeah the wind & WAVES are some of the best all year.
First, This coming weekend Aug. 23 &24we are Hosting our LAST DEMO of the year Starboards & Sailworks Roger Jackson & Ellen Faller will be at our site on Lakes bay to answer question and get you out on the water. It is definitely NOT to late in the year to pick & enjoy a new board from Starboards or one of the great Sailworks sails. There will e limited demo boards for sale at AMAZING prices. The best stuff goes early so come by and stake your claim. There will even be SUP's on sale great way to get into this very cool sport.
Secondly, For the first time ever Extreme Windsurfing will be hosting a SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) Clinic (Flatwater & wave) on SUNDAY SEPT 7th. This is a FREE event. For everyone weather you wanna try SUP's or if you're already own one and want to expand your SUP experience. 2 of the area's most experienced SUP ridders our own Ben Schnaibel & Terry Junker will start you off right at the shop at Lakes Bay and after getting your feet wet (for real) we'll head out to one of our wonderful local beaches for some ocean paddling & wave ridding. It is going to be a fun gathering in a non competitive situation to enjoy a different day at the beach. I'm sure enlightening as to the possibilities of the SUP locally.
All we ask is that you sign up before hand by emailing me karabaszjp@... to let me know you are coming and if you have an SUP. If you have equipment and are willing to "share alittle" for this event please let me know as there will be a special gift for you.....

Little Things to make Windsurfing more Fun
It is easy & fun to focus our thoughts on the BIG things in windsurfing, Boards, Sails even mast and booms can be intriguing...Well, to some of us. These are BIG bright colored things non windsurfers say "Man that looks cool! And they are cool but there are a lot of over looked little things that can make a big difference in ones windsurfing fun factor. Mundane things like....
FINS yes more learned and important people than I have written VOLUMES on Fin design and relivance. Can't afford a new board or rig this year (probably your stock fin on the board you bought a couple of years ago is all ground down and beat up anyway) simply adding a fin or 2 to your favorite board will give it a "SPARK" you never knew it had. In a simple statement consider the importance of fins by looking at them as "UNDERWATER SAILS" Which in a lot of ways (create lift, twist off to control ect...) They are!
How about something as simple as "Harness Lines" not exactly a "sexy" item.We use the ones on the boom until they break. Then we get other ones that look the same. Which is "OK" but consider the value of a good set of Adjustable Harness lines. Like Sailworks. These on the fly Adj. lines have an amazing influence on rig balance & ease of sailing in different conditions. Or if that is to much to deal with how about the NEW Amazingly simple Mono Lines from Dakine. You can balance a rig with these lines in seconds and be out on the water sailing effortlessly. Imagine no more rig wrestling (I think I've got that in the London Olympics as afull medal sport) or restting lines every time you sail or change sail size.
There are a bunch of other equally basic NON sexy items Like Spectra Downhaul line last up to 5X longer than that old dacron stuff that will break soon and leave you stranded (really) or Downhaul cranks not exciting I admit (lives in the bottom of your gear bag with who know what???) but man lose that "Tug Cleat" save your back & elbow (trust me on this I KNOW) and rig your sails RIGHT & effortlessly. Don't get me started on the JOYS of Adjustable Outhauls...let's just say it's one of the cheapest WOW factors I know of.
So next time you are in the shop or talking to me on the phone or net let's talk about some not so exciting stuff it will be worth it!
4. Operational Notes / News
We have a new addition (at least for a little while) Petra Kanz will be running Extreme Windsurfing while she heals from a hand injury. I know we all wish her well and I know she'll be back in the water as SOON as she's better. There is no better time to stop by and get her ideas on what will make your windsurfing more fun.
Also importantly I've met with the new owners of the Hampton in Tabby & Gary(Sonny's daughter & her husband) Absolutely lovely folks (their 4 boys are learning to windsurf) They are as excited as we are to continue windsurfing & Extreme Windsurfing here on Lakes Bay for many years to come.
