Hi all
I'm going with my family to the outer banks the last two weeks of July and would
appreciate some advice on good places to windsurf (I'm at intermediate level and
my children at beginner level). We're thinking of staying in Okracoke.
In anticipation of your good advice....many thanks

In Waves, NC there is a windsurf shop near the Dairy Queen that lets sailors
park and launch on the intercoastal side.  The water is not over your head for
about a mile or two off the shore.  Good luck.  Have fun.

David.

Hi Travis-I've been out of sailboarding (can't really call anything
in this area windsurfing) action for many years now in the Louisville
area... It's rarely windy enough around here for a decent
sailboarding day, let alone kitesurfing around here. As from previous
posts, best bet is probably Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley.
Closest decent lake for overall sailing is Patoka--but have to watch
out for the bass boaters, etc. Especially on the weekends. I wouldn't
try kitesurfing on the Ohio River...

That said, I do have an O'Brien Sensation longboard rig and Yakima
rack set up I'll sell to someone...

Best of luck,
Brent Shean

Hello -

I am moving some place windy :) and need some beginner gear.

I know I asked for some last year....but it turns out I could not
figure a way to hook it to my plastic SATURN without a hard rack. new

Where is the best place to launch? Where is the best place to stay?
I hope someone gets back to me soon because I would like to leave early
tonight. Looks like it should be a good day. I have never been there.

Thanks, Bill

I second Michael's "Welcome to Kentucky."  If you done mind deep water
starting, here are a couple of thoughts.  Patoka Lake in Southern
Indiana would be nice. That lake is almost round, so it has pretty
clean wind. There is also a beach for launching if the wind is in the
right direction. You would have limited access to the beach if you go
between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but the fall and spring we are
allowed to use the nice beach.

Kentucky Lake is also an amazing lake. I grew up near there, and it
would be excellent as long as you don't mind doing it all in the deep
water. There are no beach options other than a few rocky ones. The
shear size of KY Lake makes it a winner. No matter what direction of
the wind, you can find excellent places, and if the wind comes out of
the South, you can even get 4 foot rollers on the North end near the
Dam area.

Take care and welcome,
Creston

Hi Travis,

Welcome to Kentucky, but I'm afraid you're moving to a region of the state where
sailing is limited.  Lake Cumberland is a tough place to sail given its
topology, steep banks, and heavy boat traffic.  Cave Run Lake has a better
reputation for sailing, although I've never sailed there.  Better sailing lakes
are much farther west (Kentucky and Barkley).

I live in Louisville and regularly sail on the Ohio River and Patoka Lake in
southern Indiana.  I have never seen a kiter on the water around here.  Local
windsurfers make annual treks to OBX.  Don't lose your contacts in VA
Beach--that still might be your best bet.
It would be very cool to see you or any kite brother of the wind ripping it up
on the local waters.

Good luck, Michael

I am looking to get back into the sport. I am looking for some beat up

Big SW wind forecast for tomorrow..  what's the water temp @ Monroe.. wetsuits
needed?
I'm up for Monroe or Patoka (Jackson).

Kentucky Lake is awesome for sailing. I don't know where you are
located, but near Kentucky Dam, there are good launching places on
either side of the lake, so regardless of the wind direction, there is
always a great choice.  I grew up windsurfing all over Kentucky Lake
and still windsurf there when visiting my parents in Paducah.

My favorite thing about Kentucky Lake is that it is so huge, that it
you can always find places to avoid the motor boats, and if you get a
big wind out of the S/SW, you can have some big 4 foot rollers. Great
fun!

Where is Lake Carnico?

Has anyone on the list gotten to windsurf lately?  I went to Lake
Barkley for the Memorial Day weekend to spend it with my family. I took
all of my gear, and the wind never did more than about 5 MPH. It blew
at least 20-25 here in Louisville on the Friday we left for the
weekend. I watched the trees twist for the first 2 hours of the 3 hour
trip to Lake Barkley, and then it was calm.   :^)

I did conclude that I would much rather spend 15 minutes loading my
gear for a trip and have no wind for 3 days, than to spend 3 days with
great wind and no gear, so it is always worth taking the gear just in
case.

Happy sailing,
Creston

Didn't have much time and it seemed windy, so zipped out to Deam's this
afternoon.  Forecast was 10 - 15, once again they lied, oh well, it was sunny
and the water wasn't that cold.  Picked up my season pass today, but no mention
was made of the $5 launch fee Mike talked about.  Will wait until they ask to
get one.  Later, Rick.

An excellent report. I worked yesterday, but I was hoping that someone
was able to get out to sail. When I was outside for lunch, I noticed
how windy, sunny, and warm it was and thought, "what a perfect day to
sail!"  Of course when I went back outside at 5:30, the temperature had
dropped about 10-15 degrees. Amazing how quickly that changed. I bet
you were a bit chilly. The water probably started feeling warm by the
end of the day.  Glad you had a great day. I wish I could have joined
you.

Yesterday, I got to sail, first time this Spring since Hatteras trip
in first week in April.  Got to Patoka beach @12:30 (Indiana non-
resident park passes are $46 this year and they are requiring non-
motorized water craft including windsurfers to get a $5 annual
permit).  Only took my big board (118 liters) and a 6.6 sail. Matched
up great for first hour or so.. no rain, storm clouds missed the lake
to the east all afternoon.  Winds kept building all afternoon.  Came
in and increased my downhaul twice..  leach ended up loose and floppy
from tip to boom.  By 2pm winds has increased to near epic levels..  i
was way over-powered but having too much fun to stop.  i was using
Wardog's 10" free-weed fin, which i think allowed my to sail farely
comfortably in such big conditions. A 90 liter board and a 5.0 sail
would have been a better match.  Drug myself out of the water about
4pm, nearly hypothermic (wore only board shorts and a rash shirt)..
great day to start the local season.. slept really well last night..

Hey Bill,
Glad to hear you got some sailing in today, and also some good rigging
practice. I took my lunch break outside at about 2:00 while it was
sunny, and yes, the wind looked a little unpredictable. I wanted to
come by after work to see if you were down there, but my wife had some
event to attend, so I had to get the turkey burgers on the grill.

did anyone else get to go today?  Jesenko?

Thanks for sharing. When I got back into windsurfing 20 months ago, I
was using a 1984 Mistral Comp Light until I finally kept breaking so
many old components, that I never knew if I was going to sail or paddle
home. I finally took the plunge to buy some new equipment. The new
stuff rocks!

I have not sailed in SC or Canada, but do sail near Clearwater, FL on
occasion. I went with the Louisville crew last spring to Cape Hatteras,
and it was excellent.

Glad to hear your 13 year old son enjoys sailing too. Hopefully this
year will be his year to hook in and plane. My son is only 4 months
old, so I will not be taking him this season, but soon I hope.

I just found Lake Carnico, in Carlisle, KY on Google Maps. Do you live
near Lexington?

You mentioned Cox's Park in Louisville. Yes, some of the locals
frequent there, and I live only a mile from there, but I have had a
couple of scary days out there with currents, debris, and barges, so I
usually don't consider it as one of my options.

Take care,
Creston

For those of you that have not been to the webpage I assembled for
Windsurfing Kentucky, I have made a few updates to it recently. I have
added a new weather forecast link to a couple of locations like
Louisville, Kentucky Lake, and Patoka Lake. This link goes to the
forecast graphs of NOAA. It is only a 48 hour forecast, but I have
found it to be the most reliable in my experience. I was first given
the link by Jesenko who is on the list. Thanks again Jesenko.

The Windsurfing Kentucky webpage can be found at
http://www.crestonparker.com/windsurf/

I also added a new photo, some new links, and an advertisement for Rick
Robison who has lots of used gear for sale. Seriously, Rick has a lot
of gear. Oh, need a replacement mast foot for that Bic Dufour Wing from
1980, Rick probably has it.

TIP: In my observations, TV weather forecasts are about a day off when
they are 5 days away. So if it is Monday, and they say it will be sunny
on Friday, rainy on Saturday, and sunny on Sunday. I find that it will
not rain on Saturday, but Sunday instead. Again, this is just my
observation, but start watching and see if it is true or not.

Does anyone else have any good weather forecast sites or tips?

========================

Hey Bill,
Thanks for sharing. When I got back into windsurfing 20 months ago, I
was using a 1984 Mistral Comp Light until I finally kept breaking so
many old components, that I never knew if I was going to sail or paddle
home. I finally took the plunge to buy some new equipment. The new
stuff rocks!

I have not sailed in SC or Canada, but do sail near Clearwater, FL on
occasion. I went with the Louisville crew last spring to Cape Hatteras,
and it was excellent.

Glad to hear your 13 year old son enjoys sailing too. Hopefully this
year will be his year to hook in and plane. My son is only 4 months
old, so I will not be taking him this season, but soon I hope.

I just found Lake Carnico, in Carlisle, KY on Google Maps. Do you live
near Lexington?

You mentioned Cox's Park in Louisville. Yes, some of the locals
frequent there, and I live only a mile from there, but I have had a
couple of scary days out there with currents, debris, and barges, so I
usually don't consider it as one of my options.

Take care,
Creston

I have quite a bit of junk.An old longboard mistrail,bic nova, 10 ft. bic, 9ft.
8in. mistrail,9ft.mistrail,and a 8ft.6in. seatrend.My sail collection goes from
9.0 to 3.0.I am ready for almost anything.I have a little trailer to carry all
this junk.I can jibe and jump, but I am no hot dog.Do some wavesailing.I go to
Sullivans Island,SC,Islandmorada,Fla,and up on Lake Erie in Canada near Buffalo
almost every year.Some years we get shut out because we plan these trips around
friends and relatives , not the weather.Quite a few times I have had some
stellar days.I have a 13yr,old son who also sails. He has not hooked in or
planed yet,but is getting close.The Nova is really his,but I am glad I got it
for him. It is a lot of fun on light wind and cold water flukey windy days.Hope
to get some good sailing days in this year.Thanks Bill

Carnico, but glad to hear that you get some
good conditions there. Patoka Lake in Southern Indiana is my favorite
place but the 70 minute drive makes a pretty full day to get some good
time on the water.

The Land Between the Lakes area is amazing. Kentucky Lake and Lake
Barkley are so large, that any direction is great wind, but the launch
site may differ depending on the wind direction.  Your launch site may
also be determined by how much you want waves. If the wind blows hard
out of the south, you can get 4 foot rollers on the north end of
kentucky Lake.  We had a windsurfing weekend on those two lakes last
October, and I would like to make it an annual gig.

Since my wife and I still have family Paducah, I sail there quite a few
times throughout the year, and would gladly share some local knowledge
of that area.

What equipment do you use?
