James' Blog: My Velouria!

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. The sail I’m using is an Aerotech Phantom 6.8, which I like a lot because it’s equally comfortable on this slalom board and on my Freestyle-Wave board. The launch site is Old Fort Park on the Indian River Lagoon in Fort Pierce, Florida and the wind is out of the southeast in the low to mid teens.

If you don’t blink, you can occasionally spot another windsurfer in the video. That’s my buddy Brandon, riding his Kona ONE longboard with a 9.65 msq Sailworks NX race sail that he was able to rig for the first time today since he just got a formula boom. The mast he used was an aluminum 460 jacked up on two extensions. I couldn’t believe it worked, but it totally did! Way to go, dude.

    Actually he was Black Francis in the Pixies…Frank Black was his solo nom de jam.
