SUPing

Hello All, its been a while since I have taken my windsurf break and been out. The kids are growing like little weeds and my wife and I are looking into getting a SUP for some family fun.

Windoc is right ozy did pull the "bailing"pic off and sailed away. Windoc was so impressed he had to try it himself, he pulled the first half of the move off perfectly, however it was all downhill from there. Needless to say Windoc did NOT sail away like Ozy.

For those that missed my first post Kus ...

The sailor is Ozy and he did land it. Ozy pretty much lands everything. I am also posting an extremely rare photo of Ozy bailing, very rare.

trailer

The stove and fridge work w/o services as they can be run off propane. Don't worry the beer will be nice and cold when you are done sailing.

Hey Jude

Oar Rd of Dickinson (behind Crappy Tire) is good for beginners. It is more side onshore so if the wind dies it is easier to get to the beach. There is no windshadow like Pipers and there is usually less swell and wind.

fins

Halfaday, don't be such a push over. Don't let your wife decide what you can and can't have, are you whipped? Do you need a pair larger gonads to go with your new larger fin?

Hope all is well and we can sail together soon, your caring brother in law.

Hey Bean, sorry I missed the outing. When I used to dive Olebar Pt it was pretty exciting getting in and out of the water in a bigger swell, have to be quick with the gear to avoid damage on the rocks.
I am trying to convince my Dad to go out this summer on a good NW in his 34' sailboat that way I ...

I went all around the world while I was in the military and no place compared to the Island (except Australia), we are extremely lucky here.

Sailworks vs. Ezzy

Looking at picking up some new to me sails. I would like to get either Ezzy's or Sailworks Revo's as I have heard/seen alot of good things about both. Any input about either would be appreciated.

Hey MF4, I bought a Predator helmet, it is one size with different inserts you can put in to adjust the fit. This winter I just put smaller inserts in and I can wear it with my hood. It saved me a couple times at Columbia on Sunday as I did I big header into the sail off one of my out of control ...

Seals are not our friends!

I was out at Pipers today, didn't have time to make it to Columbia with chores and all. Enjoying an afternoon session a little overpowered on a 4.7 but having fun none the less. During a run back to the beach fully powered up I notice a brown "blob" surface right in front of me. Before I even have ...
