The flowstyle genius Caesar Finies was not putting on his daily magic shows last week in Bonaire. When I asked around I heard he’d hurt himself recently and so was on the mend. Our loss, but okay. Then on Friday...

I am back, baby. After being unable to windsurf since October I managed four 2-hour sessions in Lac Bay: The previously reported 7.3 day, an 8.0 day (I haven’t sailed a rig that big in ten years), a 6.6, and...

Sitting on the beach looking out on the water and along the shoreline, I thought "there's a whole lotta Long Island windsurfers here!" There's George Pav sailing backwinded. Chrissy Burns just threw a sail body 360. God knows what Mike...

I saw this in an iWindsurf forum, posted by the mighty Jerry Evans (maker of both the Clew View and East Coast Windsurfing Festival trophies) who tells me he found it on Facebook. In any event I think there's a...

Conditions were nothing to speak of...knee to waist high waves without much left or right to them. Was it cold? Air 35, Water 42, but it had been 22 weeks since my last SUP sesh, so: 36 + 41 +...

I don't just miss windsurfing. I equally miss paddle surfing. My favorite watersport videographer (and master of how-to-jibe) Dasher recently put this up on Youtube. Enjoy. P.S. If you keep a portion of your awareness on the water in the...

"Stained Glass Shredding, Rusalka Wind Sculpture"? How about "More cool windsurfing stuff from Ron"? About a week ago I posted some photos of great looking old boards on Ron's deck, and afterwards Ron ("noshuzbluz" on the iWindsurf forum) turned me...

Last we ran a piece about windsurfing's 100 Rule, Long Island Style, in which the traditional temperature guideline of: Air temperature + Water temperature = 100 or higher, or it's too cold to sail, while the rule for many Long...

This is just too good not to share. When I stumbled over the Lake Erie wave sailing video earlier this week it lead me to the web site of the Reef Warriors tribe. They dwell upon Lake Irie (mon). They...

Every year on February 2nd, Peconic Puffins emerge from their burrow and consider their shadows. If there's a shadow, what does it mean? Should I visit Bill and Hulse in Puerto Rico? Take the wife to Bonaire? Check the seals...

I've recently learned about the Legend of the Reef Warriors, a small but mighty tribe who can conjure such magic as wavesailing in the midwest. I am still studying the legend, greatly stoked by the following video that a Warrior...
