Scott said we should have got on it earlier. The wind meter suggests we missed an hour. Frustration was mighty. Frank, P-Jeff, Fisherman, the Wolf, your editor, and Chimply Lord Scotworth hit it at K Road as the bells tolled noon. 5.2-5.5 sails lightly powered in 3-4 foot waves…pleasant. Except the wind died after…

…at Shacks in Puerto Rico! Received this from John Hulse a few days ago (I was out of town visiting relatives). "PR proof" the email was titled. Look at that wave…the mother of all lefts (in my book anyway.) John reports "conditions have been pretty good, anywhere from knee high to way overhead.…

Beautiful. The photo says we're watching Peter Volwater at Margaret River, down under. Photo borrowed from Windsurfing Australia's Facebook page, which showcases the photography of Col Leonhardt.

As seen on my iPhone this morning: I missed the fun this weekend. I am a sad face. š Soon I will unretire an old 5.5 hiding in the back of the barn, to replace my dearly departed 5.3. Soon. Then I hope to SUP-sail at Ponquogue. It's the answer…

Everybody had a story. George Pav was on the water first. The winds werenāt fully on yet, and George had to trade a long walk back (āit was worth itā) for the āhead high bombers on the outsideā and downwind, but he was rolling up his 5.3 to move on to other business while most…

Indecision. Peconic Jeff to go to Ponquogue "for side-off SUPsailing". Scott was eyeing the whitecaps at Sebonac Inlet, declaring 4.7 conditions and "you're crazy if you think you can sail the ocean in NW!" I was torn. I knew from my one micro wave sesh in Hatteras several years ago that side-off made for sweet…

Oh no…wait…they absolutely tear it up! The Canadian Windsurfing page on Facebook recently posted a bunch of photos from Sandbanks Beach in Ontario, where it was gusting to 50 knots. Go there (Sandbanks, or if that's not feasible, the Facebook page) to check out the action.) Or check out this post by Fish, who…

I had a most excellent session at Napeague on Saturday. But there was another session we must tell you about, featuring the usual suspects plus waves, at Cupsogue. If only I had been there too! But I wasn't, so here is Peconic Jeff's report: "Nearly everyone got stuck in the soft sand and had…

You can watch the whole thing, of course. I'm saying first go to about 6 minutes and let it play for 20 seconds. The top turn at 6:14…takes about .75 seconds…that's the whole game right there. I was sent this clip in an email titled "King of Humans". It was sent by the mighty Mark…

The language that describes what we do with stand up paddle boards has been in beta for a few years now. Yeah we all know SUP, but then what? I've called SUPing in the waves SUPsurfing. Not too hard. But how do you say, for example: stand up paddle board windsurfing on waves? No…
