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

We all knew it was windy.   Artie was on location at Meschutt, salivating at the site of beautiful ramps.   But the air was 30 degrees!

"40 is my limit" Scott said.

"36 in full sun" I noted.   We were out of the running.

Jeremy said he'd be in the sauna.

Artie rigsBut Artie would not be denied.   25 gusting to 29, with waist high swell on the outside, he had Meschutt all to himself.  Would have loved to have joined him…in ten more degrees!
