Hi Windfind,
No response required, and something like "go read the NWS/NOAA/some other page about how weather works" would be great. A text might do, if I get inspired. Your posts are gre ... |

Trying to learn something about weather. Success, though not necessarily the something I was after. Am after - why is the long fetch of the bay (5-20 miles) NE of peninsula bay sites insufficient to a ... |

What does it take for those beautiful breezes at 1000 ft to descend to the surface? The trees move occasionally in a promising manner, but never steady and strong. I'm looking at diablos and peninsula ... |

Some notes (sorry from a guy)
Uphauling, waterstarting, straps, harness, planing, and high wind are all separate skills that can be worked on independently until the whole package comes together.

I'm 160lb, and too tall to rest boom on board. Been waterstarting for a year, almost always with a heavyish 7.5. alap's technique works for me. I'll try coachg's some day, it looks faster and controls ... |

Good times! Already hooked.
Wind was theoretically stronger at Shoreline today. Flag looked great, but lake surface not ripply enough to match. Bunch of people out though. Big sails were staying on ... |

How about SFO Bay Area/Antioch - is it good for beginners?

Aside - are windsurfers like other gear? 25 years old = suitable for bonfire sacrifice to the weather gods?
