Re: BWD Oregon Coast "Whatever Goes" Sharkmethfest 2024
I can confirm access to the Cape Oasis/culvert bird bath is better than last season and yes, the peeper camera in there is still up. I guess they liked what Jesse and I were offering up. Maybe we have our own cape only fans. Dare to google.

Re: BWD Oregon Coast "Whatever Goes" Sharkmethfest 2024
Coming down Alex?
The water at Flo the other day I swear was the coldest I've felt. Maybe I'm just getting soft though. 3 of us here at the cape now, looking good for a few days.

Re: Aluula selling off OR ??
Naw - it's more simple than that. Publicly traded company, board sees it is a lot easier and more profitable to just sell fabric to whomever wants it than to deal with the complexity of running a kite brand which probably generates very little profit for the shareholders relative to that effort. Suc...

Re: Kite, board, harness, pump, and bar and lines for sale
If I give you $10k for the lot, what else might be included?

Re: Newbie to Wing-Thing
Long fuse on a wing board is harder to adjust your angle of attack and pump onto foil just due to less leverage on it. Necessary for stability with a windsurf sail, completely not with a wing. I had some friends struggling to get on foil at CC with a metre more of wing than I was using on a windsurf...

Re: Newbie to Wing-Thing
No one said this yet (I think) but your windsurf foil will suck for winging. The fuselage is too long and you'll have much less leverage with no mast and harness to lean against. It will work yea, but it will be noticeably lamer. But if you can find a shorter fuselage all the other components will w...

Re: Stripped footstrap insert
Dry it out. Pour in any type of epoxy (JB-Weld will work great). Re-drill smaller than screw. Screw back in. Easy-as.

Re: Maui tips?
Best hack is to rent a U-Haul van and sleep in that in the U-haul car park beside Costco. Buddy from Toronto has done this twice for two weeks both times!
I have a line on a rental vehicle if you are looking.

Re: Wingfoiling Progression
Outside Esquimalt lagoon is kelp free but the wind is usually gusty. I like it though. It's definitely more sketchy for kiting than for Wing or Windsurf. Look for SW days for better wind, WSW for not as great and W for gusty AF.
