- Wow, it sure was an incredible week at the WINDSURFING board test house in Avon, NC. My hands are as calloused as hooves, and muscles I didn't even know I had are sore from promiscuous use of so many boards and sails...
- Hey Dudes and Dudettes! Greeting from Avon, North Carolina, where I am participating in the Windsurfing Magazine freeride board tests for 2011. We have an awesome batch of boards and sails here. These are just some of them...
- I learned how to kiteboard about a year and a half ago when I was living in Florida. Although I often had gear failures and frustrations, I mostly avoided injury, and I found kiteboarding to be easy, fun, and well-suited to Florida's prevalent, light seabreezes...
- Since I'm always blogging about "onshore, offshore, sideshore, frontside, backside" etc., I figure I should make some pictures that illustrate what those terms actually mean in the context of riding waves with a windsurf board.
- View of Boston Skyline from Nahant, MA, 5 November 2010 One of the fun things about being a windsurfer is trying to figure out the weather patterns of a new area, how they change through the seasons, and how they interact with shoreline geography to determine the best spots to ride at different times...
- It's still summery in Florida. Here in Massachusetts, not so much. At least it's windy. Like, REALLY windy... Friday October 15th wind readings from iWindsurf I was able to get out on my 4.25 sail for the first time in many months...
- Well, after a month or so living in Massachusetts, I finally got around to documenting a cold-water windsurfing session with my GoPro helmet camera. It was a propitious date — 10/10/10 — with beautiful, blue sky, mild fall temperatures, and a puffy west wind averaging 15 mph.
- When I moved to Massachusetts from Florida last week, I still had unedited GoPro camera footage from my final windsurfing session down south. It was a pretty good session — a little underpowered but with fun waves, good friends and sunshine.
- My two-year marine biology research fellowship in Florida expired last week, so with some sighs and groans (but a bit of excitement, as well) I left the tropical paradise of Fort Pierce to start another research job in Boston, Massachusetts.
- Frank Black, from the late '80s band "The Pixies", is so the man. I figured it would be appropriate to have his singing in this video where I'm riding my black windsurfing board, the Exocet Warp SL 71...
- Watch what happens when a progressing sailor gets his hands on a slippery old slalom board like a Bic Veloce 290, and he takes it out in 20 knot winds with some big chop and ocean swells. Delightful carnage ensues.
- I think there's something big and amazing going on with the sport of windsurfing now. It has to do with good competitions and events being organized at all levels around the world, and the collective stoke of the windsurfers involved being creatively channeled and magnified through a maturing "new media" network of photographers and filmmakers, bloggers, websites, etc...
- Tropical storm Bonnie was pretty mellow as far as tropical storms go, but it brought some fun windsurfing conditions to Fort Pierce, Florida on July 23rd. I caught a session in the morning when the wind was from the Northeast...
- The Peconic Puffin once said something like, "You know you haven't been getting enough windsurfing action when the footstraps on your favorite board are totally dry." I totally agree. My favorite windsurf board is a 2008 Exocet Cross 106, which I typically pair with a 6...
- The general wisdom among weather-watching sailors, windsurfers and kiteboarders is that seabreezes occur where there is hot land next to cold ocean. Hot air rises over the land, then cooler ocean air flows in to take its place, hence, breeze...
