WINDY Masonboro Morning

It Sails!

It sails well. 11'3 SUP with 6.3 sail

Playing at CB Inlet

11'3 and 10'6

Finally, the Perfect Quiver

After surfing nothing but a 7'8 the last 18 months, no other board seemed fun anymore. Our 9'0 collect dust. We finally sold it. 9'5's didn't cut it either. Then we bought this 11'3 to windsurf. But, as usual, when you buy new windsurf gear the wind doesn't cooperate. So we SUPed this monster at the inlet. It was crazy fun. We felt silly and were grinning like fools out there. So much fun. I think we found the perfect quiver.

11'3 and 7'8

Our Downwind Raceboards are FOR SALE cheap - one sold, one left

$895 each. The fastest boards I've done. Long glides.

Beautiful Day for Windsurfing

A big thanks to Igor today. He loaned us his two Mistral windsurfing SUPs. Wind was 10 mph. So much fun. I'm thinking it might be time to put the downwind race SUPs on Craig's List and get a couple of old school longboard SUP/windsurfers. No point in having beautiful weather and not be able to get in the ocean. With no waves, and light wind, we're stuck on land with our current gear. That's not acceptable anymore.

Caught it

The boards hang off the back of the truck a lot, but it works.

The simple things are fun again. A tack!

Newbie on Jacky's 7'8

Scott Burnside tried my board and Jacky's board this morning. He liked Jacky's board more, even though it was twice as hard to stand on. Scott has only SUPed 3 days in his life. The last time was 2 years ago. Pretty amazing to see a 170 lb guy with no SUP skill do this! Scott's a shortboarder. We've been trying for a long time to bring him to the dark side. Scott thought the board was fast.
