5.0/100L freestyle at Coyote Point with the somewhat northerly wind at 18 mph at 2 pm. Just a few out as the season is still early for most. The Golito Skate planes super-quick and a good all round board despite its freestyle lineage. It's my 15th sailing for the year with only 2 sessions on the foil. Foiling is amazing but may, in time, dull some of your windsurf skills as it is a very different way of sailing.
BTW, I left my Chinook 2 Hand Tug Cleat at the Stick this past Monday. If found, returning it would be a good Christian gesture..if you want to keep it I wouldn't blame you. I seem to lose those things with regularity.

Bert,
Bob found your Easy-Rig tool at the Stick. If I see him before you do, I will tell him that it is your tool.

Thanks chand2. Next time I'm at the Stick I'll hang around after 3 pm as that's when Bob as well as everyone else shows up. Today at Third with up and down gusty winds in the 15 to 20 mph range. I went 5.0 Volt and 95L Fanatic freewave but had to work to make it work. 3rd was crowded with windsurfers and kiters as it is a gathering place for both groups here in the peninsula. I'm always more alert here as there is a lot of kite traffic on the water.., especially close to shore.

Candlestick was pretty windy all afternoon. The place was absolutely packed with egg hunters so space was hard to come by. Managed to get some late fun on 4.2/90. Still had a windsurfer on the water when I left at almost 7pm.

Maiden voyage with my new RRD FSW 84. Powered to under powered 5.0 but enough to get a nice feeling for the board. It is pure RRD: smooth and easy, It retains the effortless get up and go on the plane, and somehow manages to feel more refined and agile than my old 2008 RRD FSW 85 (seen below in all its orange glory). Very different volume distribution between the two. Can't wait to finally experiment with fins with the 3-fin option and power box! Goodby U.S. Box!
Color takes a bit to get used to (I might end up painting over the yellow or blue stripes), was tempted to get the V5 version but at the end of the story it did not look much better ... I wonder why they cannot have quieter graphics! Those damn Italians!

|

Went back to Stick for some reliable winds and I finally managed to visit its "West coast". I was out with 6.5 and my sinker slalom (the CA 52) and the wind completely dropped 500 yards on the inside. No much choice but slog toward the freeway, than upon reaching the shore have a leisure walk among rocks, mud, chairs and assorted human parts. Finally the wind sort of comes back and having gained couple of yards upwind I take off for a dead wind run to the lunching spot.
Back on the Isonic that works fine for the rest of the afternoon ....
