The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

A classic windsurfing weekend.   Saturday morning Christian and I met at the Bowl despite Scott’s IM cackling about “IT’S OVER!!!!”   Waves were four feet, the wind looked about 5.8, so we rigged and chatted. 

Oops.

-1This is sometimes called CD Syndrome…talking when you should be windsurfing (sorry Lord Chimpleton!)  By the time we got to the water it was looking light…I got a semi-planing run in before even the kiters said Fie.  Derigged, drove over to Christian’s Secret Spot (originally Jimi Jam’s SS) for informational purposes, and then started a day o’chores.

-2Sunday morning I was determined to have fun, so I put a 5.3 on my new SUP (Fanatic AllWave) and commenced to do some lightwind freestyle in the creek.  Good times!  Later the wind began to come up so I raced over to Massimo’s…rigged the 6.2, and this time got three whole planing runs in before it died otra vez.

C’est la vie.
