  It's a Poop: Danny Does Not Bring the Wind

  Fetched: August 29th, 2009, 3:33pm CEST by Michael

  My inbox is flooded with messages of panic and outrage. Many are asking "where are you going to sail?" or "what are your plans" because SURELY, someone has got to have figured out how to sail in the long-promised hurricane!...

  Hurricane Danny, Won't You Share a Little Wind?

  Fetched: August 28th, 2009, 4:56am CEST by Michael

  Somewhere at this moment the wind chimps are huddled, and Scott sits waiting to utter his war cry: "it'spickinUP!" Danny, bring the wind. Track Danny on NOAA's website.

  The Swap Meet, She's A Comin'

  Fetched: August 27th, 2009, 10:44am CEST by Michael

  September 12th at Jon's shop (Windsurfing Hamptons to the uninitiated) is Long Island's fall swap meet. Windy season is coming, so you know you need smaller gear. Fall racing is coming, so you know you need bigger gear. Aw, the...

  Be A Better Windsurfer. ABK Clinics Come to Napeague in September…

  Fetched: August 25th, 2009, 4:17pm CEST by Michael

  If you don’t windsurf but would like to learn how, this is the place to be. If you used to windsurf, stopped, and would like to join the resurgence of windsurfing on Long Island, this is the place to do...

  To Heck with Bill, Here's Looking Forward to Hurricane Danny

  Fetched: August 25th, 2009, 9:28am CEST by Michael

  We go no windsurfing, much less wavesailing, on eastern LI out of Hurricane Bill. Bill was "le big disappointmente" as people who fake their French (like me) might say. On Sunday I went to the beach at Flying Point with...

  Not Exactly Storm Sailing: Hot Times at South Jamesport

  Fetched: August 23rd, 2009, 12:16am CEST by Michael

  With all the anticipation of Hurricane Bill and getting some epic wavesailing in, we started Friday with messy swell on the beach due to the onshore blow. So the call was the very tame location of South Jamesport. “I’m not...

  What's it gonna be, Bill?

  Fetched: August 21st, 2009, 8:26pm CEST by Michael

  It's Friday morning and the wind is starting to rustle in the trees. OBX Bill reports head high swell down Hatteras way, but the beaches here aren't seeing much yet. How much wind will we get? And where are we...

  Bill's Blow Building

  Fetched: August 21st, 2009, 2:05am CEST by Michael

  Lookey here at the latest (as of post time) NOAA forecast for Bill's winds. Long Island is now solidly in the 10-20% likelyhood of rock 'n roll, with Napeague getting close to the 20-30% zone. Hot diggity dog I am...

  My Wish List for Hurricane Bill

  Fetched: August 19th, 2009, 10:26am CEST by Michael

  NOAA just increased the likelyhood of Eastern Long Island receiving tropical storm-strength winds (that's 39+ mph, 34+ knots, Beaufort level seven, a "near gale") from 5% to 10%. In hopes of Bill being beneficent for boardsailors, here's my wish list...

  The Windless Hell of August

  Fetched: August 18th, 2009, 9:01am CEST by Michael

  What is it that makes August so horrifying? Is it that everyone else finds Long Island waters to be primo about now? So many people enjoying swimming, waterskiing, jetskiing, boating etc without the slightest idea of how terrible the conditions...

  Zero Wind on Friday

  Fetched: August 15th, 2009, 5:35am CEST by Michael

  Look at all the zeros on the iWindsurf observation map. That sucketh. I haven't been in the footstraps for two weeks (since South Jamesport's storm-abbreviated session) and I really could use a session! This might call for drastic measures. I...

  The Buddha Wants You (and me) to Shred

  Fetched: August 10th, 2009, 4:12pm CEST by Michael

  It's been over a week since I've sailed. I've lost my center. But Michael Jamieson, windsurfing sculptor of transcendental beings and gods, offers us this rendition of balance, of jibe chi, of board trim through the jibe: I'm always my...

  Longboards? Yeah We Need Stiiinking Longboards, NEWJ!

  Fetched: August 9th, 2009, 2:51am CEST by Michael

  The Peconic Puffin is packing its umbrage and taking it somewhere! We take great umbrage at the New England Windsurfing Journal’s August 2009 issue, which characterizes the East Coast Windsurfing Festival’s longboard fleet as having been pulled out of various...

  Jibing Into Blackness

  Fetched: August 4th, 2009, 9:36am CEST by Michael

  Friday afternoon at South Jamesport…warm and very windy. Scott, Bill Barber, the Wolf and I had been sailing about an hour on 5.2’s/5.3’s (the Wolf should have been on his trusty 4.7 but he didn’t have it with him…who expected...

  The Patron Saint of Windsurfing?

  Fetched: August 1st, 2009, 7:57pm CEST by Michael

  To whom should our wind prayers be addressed? I stumbled upon a blog post by John Rutledge in which he discusses potential patron saints for windsurfing (he notes that ice skaters have a patron saint, and I ask you What...
