The Peconic Puffin

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

The flag at the Coast Guard station said WIND but "there aren't any whitecaps" Scott complained.   Still I saw some people planing, and I had a feeling 6.2 would do the trick.   It would have, too, if it weren't for the bushels of weeds in Tiana Bay.   Quick change of the fin and I was golden!  Happily Scott LOVES weed fins (he's nuts that way) so soon the two of us were ripping around the pool-table flat, whitecapless water, whilst nearby Andy Brandt and ABK (assisted by Peconic Jeff!) did their thing.

That was Friday.  Saturday I returned to Tiana for even better wind (and some water time with Christian) while Scott snuck off to the Bowl without telling me.   I hate missing ocean sessions, but Tiana is a prime jibatorium, and there was plenty of rippage in the shallow warm water.

Let the Fall winds continue and build!

    A good time was had by (I counted) 28 windsurfers thanks the ABK Clinic on Saturday. Thanks for the gybe tips in amongst the gybe fest.

    Tiana Bay is one of the best places on long island to learn new skills that can also be transferred to the ocean..
