One man's "great" is another man's "challenging"...met JohnI at Playa Wednesday afternoon. Got a couple crummy rides on my Kona and 7.5 (my skill, not the...
Side off when I got there was deceiving at first. Water texture indicated side on. Went out and had 90 minutes of front side rides. Waves were sectiony, but...
I'm giving thanks to my refuge: windsurfing. This Thursday will mark my 59th Thanksgiving: a sometime unsettling get together of family and friends; an often...
Hey, wow!! Must feel like a privilege to be so close to those incredible species!!! Lucky you! Remind me in 2004, wollongong NSW, Australia, after a very nice...
Upper Kanaha. 4 of them about 6 foot apiece, swimming in the swell about 2 feet over my head in the wave shoulder I was about to grab. They saw me and ran....
It was light at the Miami Pro Am but Kona managed to complete 7 races in shifty wind conditions. The Clydesdales dominated with Steve from Sandy Point sailing...
Wind S at 5-10, waves up to head high. Wind was too light for lots of frontsides like Sat, but the backsides were long and strong.... Another fine WS sesh in...
hammy is the name of my son's friend's hamster.. but now it is also the name of... finally got a session this sunday morning, went to hobe sound and found...
Hey guys! Dave Oltman here. I've got some more photos from the Florida Wave Challenge for you. They're not as good as the Bombace's photos, but they're...
Time for Jetty or Cherie. Jetty should be better if the wind turns even more. Plus, it has a better break at high tide. I'm leaving in the next 1/2 hour....
# 1 for a great sand bar. # 8 for a slight bend in the dune line and the bottom for maybe a better break? We'll see, I've got to do some chores first b4...
Waves were head high and breaking left forever. 7-10 of those in a row would have gotten me to the pier. Wind was 10 degrees side off at about 6-12 mph. I...
Lower tide surf with lots of push. Rips every 200 feet made getting out strange at times. Get in a rip and zoom out. Wind had fallen off so much that...
6.8 sail 11'5 Kona nicely powered with slightly overhead waves. Tide was wrong, but the waves still had some fun in 'em. Plan to go back for an afternoon...
NNE wind about 11-14 mph. That's about 40 or so degrees onshore. Waves up to head high. Low tide. It all worked pretty well for an brief sesh after work....
Waves were still up this morning though high tide had them breaking on the sand. Low tide around now + light side/side-offs would make for epic longboard ...
Somehow, the surf got larger on Sunday. Well overhead, maybe even logo high. Wind was nil when I got there, but it switched on at about 1pm. Side Onshore...
Forecast looks good for today's race, possible spike in the wind early afternoon. Come on out and sail! A lot of Formula sailors have committed to racing, the...
I called Titusville Causeway bridge this morning (11-13-09). Bridge is repaired and functioning ok. Headed to Playalinda now for what should be a nice...
SW at Jetty. NW at PAFB. You guessed it, on the Kona. Used a 7.5 on Wed, it was way too much outside, and on the waves. Used a 6.8 yesterday and was not...
The wind is looking light, excellent for Kona and challenging for Formula. If some of you come out it should be great to race the Kona. Temp is looking good...
Access to Playalinda is currently only available from the north (Daytona/New Smyrna) due to construction on the Cswy bridge. The bridge may reopen today. Call...
