  Please Welcome the Newest Long Island Windsurfing Blog

  Fetched: July 29th, 2009, 4:54am CEST by Michael

  It's called "Occasional Windsurfing on Long Island". It's the latest in a long line (four, I think) of Long Island windsurfing blogs. Peconic Windsurfer came first, then The Peconic Puffin, then Drysuit2, and now Occasional. Its creator Antonio promises "a...

  I Almost Made It Over The Wave (just ask Jeff.)

  Fetched: July 27th, 2009, 12:18pm CEST by Michael

  I thought it had been a private moment, getting eaten by the wave, but it turns out Jeff saw the whole thing. CD says “do yourself a favor and read Jeff’s great summary” and he’s right…you should! Jeff described the...

  Whipped at Ponquogue, But We Lap It Up

  Fetched: July 24th, 2009, 11:58pm CEST by Michael

  I went straight for the advil when I got back to the van. I was sore everywhere. “Whipped” was the word Scott used. That sounded about right. Please sir may I have another? The wind was steady and fine (most...

  The Ocean Can Make You Feel Small

  Fetched: July 23rd, 2009, 1:19am CEST by Michael

  Who doesn't remember their first ocean session? That's Ethan Doutney at the Bowl last month, discovering the added dimensions that swell and current bring to waterstarting. We've all been there, Ethan (and will be again!) This excellent photo is by...

  Dana Miller: The Stoke Goes Digital

  Fetched: July 21st, 2009, 1:15am CEST by Michael

  Dana Miller is: A. The guy responsible for the “Cancel this, kiteboy” and “if it were easy they’d call it kiteboarding” bumper stickers, B. The galactically stoked windsurfer whose writing and photography have graced New England Windsurfing Journal and Wind...

  Catching a Little Air at South Jamesport

  Fetched: July 17th, 2009, 5:21pm CEST by Michael

  Lately the internal windsurfing conversation in my head has been dissing bump and jump sailing in favor of flatwater. It seems that after a decade of dreaming of ramps, followed by two years of getting them, I was ready to...

  The Gilgo Shark Isn't My Shark

  Fetched: July 15th, 2009, 6:55pm CEST by Michael

  A large basking shark (is there any other kind?) has been making appearances on the south shore of Long Island over the last few weeks. It was photographed while it cruised by some local surfers at Ponquogue a few weeks...

  SUPing on a Superlight (Low Budget Stand Up Paddling)

  Fetched: July 14th, 2009, 5:14pm CEST by Michael

  "I'm on a Low Budget..." -The Kinks At some point in the future I'm going to get a stand up paddle board and join the SUP crowd. But not soon. In the meantime I've been wondering about the 12-foot board...

  Steve Had Every Right To Clobber Me

  Fetched: July 13th, 2009, 6:11pm CEST by Michael

  Steve had every right to clobber me. He whacked me in the hand with his mast when his helitack came undone. You may ask why he’s throwing a helitack so close to another windsurfer. The answer is the other windsurfer...

  Peconic Jeff Does Demo

  Fetched: July 13th, 2009, 6:11pm CEST by Michael

  Jeff beat me to it. It's number one on my list of 2009 Windsurfing but I still haven't sailed Democrat Point yet. Nevermind me, though, and check out Peconic Jeff's post on his first session at this storied Long Island...

  Windsurfing Racing Returns To Long Island in October!

  Fetched: July 8th, 2009, 3:44pm CEST by Michael

  After all the fun at the East Coast Windsurfing Festival, you know you couldn’t wait a year for the next Long Island event. And you won’t! Racing, freestyle, and stand-up paddling events are all planned for the East Coast Windsurfing...

  Wave Sailing: The Breath Mint

  Fetched: July 8th, 2009, 2:16am CEST by Michael

  I had to see it to believe it. My original best windsurfing buddy (and OG Peconic Puffin) Steve gifted me these over the weekend. "Mast high waves are no problem for the windsurfer with fresh breath!" They are strong (as...

  Sailing With A Friend

  Fetched: July 7th, 2009, 2:20pm CEST by Michael

  Just a few years ago Massimo was my partner in crime on the water. We sailed together seemingly every weekend. Massimo is in fact the guy who unintentionally pushed me into winter windsurfing, when he called one Thanksgiving day to...

  The B Side of the National Anthem

  Fetched: July 4th, 2009, 8:43am CEST by Michael

  To celebrate the anniversary of the founding fathers sticking to King George, I present the mighty Laurie Anderson's thoughts on the Star Spangled Banner, as well as "the B-side" of our national anthem, Yankee Doodle.

  Sprint Swimming and the Twelve Hundred Dollar Wheel

  Fetched: July 1st, 2009, 8:57pm CEST by Michael

  Years ago my friend Steve had some experiences getting wiped out in the impact zone. He later dubbed the generic experience of being tumbled, bounced, thrashed, and subsequently thrown on the beach “the twelve-hundred dollar wheel” which was his ballparking...
