I just sold my two racing longboards since I feel I can plane in pretty low winds with my formula board. Longboards will probably always rule in 0-5mph winds. I still have an old Mistral Bermuda at th...

But mostly this is how I think of it.... If I get a week of 6.4/100L winds, I'll sail most of it. If I get a week of 4.8/Tiga winds, I'll get maybe two da...
...tch to something smaller, maybe 80 ltrs, as the 100 ltr flow sits a bit too high in the water for higher winds.
when the winds are light, i'll put on a 6.6 and a pointer fin, then drop to sma...

I'm off to St Lucia (Castries)with my non windsurfing other half next month. Wasn't really expecting any windsurfing but the forecasts last few days have been 81F winds 25Knts! Is there any ...
Group,
How can it be...tomorrow (Saturday) is supposed to be 78 degrees and 15 to 20 mph winds, and it's still February. Our plants and trees are trying to turn green, I'm getting out th...
Could it be the new 5.0's are designed and tuned for higher winds? I just thought I'd throw that dumb comment in to remain consistent with my mantra that the gear has changed dramatically si...
