Punta San Carlos September 2024 ?

Hi All, I have exchanged a few emails in June 2024 with Bill, a guy that has camped on the point, San Carlos, every fall of every year since 2004. I met him in fall 2016 (huge trailer, had been using an F350, red, back in 2016). Solo Sports is shut down. $5 USD is collected per night from campers ...

Possible arrival SOC in time to miss the morning meth sale, but in time for a wind sail on Monday, June 20th. Hope to see some of you again. Me ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

seeking comment on any or all of the following; This is from a foil newbie, somewhat decent long-term windsurfer ( though I've been skiing more during the border closure these past few years ). I've got a windfoil platform coming soon to my feet, and it has a double track for foil mounting. This ...

So, what is the current thinking about the fun factor of foiling in light wind?
For me, is it competitive for low wind with kiting, kite foiling, and wind foiling ?

Pretty much all year for those who live directly in the corridor to catch the good days. Easterly during the winter are more probable, very high winds, and very cold, at sites closer to Portland, but note that the wind and current is in the same direction...check out the ' gorge is my gym ' for Hood ...

I just sold off all of my really big ( traditional ) gear. Hadn't used that in about three years or so. Just have two wave boards and several small windsurfing sails left in my basement, and I will keep that gear and keep sailing it. I am watching and lurking. All foiling looks like fun, just the ...

Why does the THE Red Baron, the windsurfing wizard from Uclulet who can toss a windsurf board or a beer like no other, use an avatar that looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtle?

relative quantity of energy expended during wingfoiling ?

Curious. Does wingfoiling tire the arms, as it looks like the arms a bit more active than windsurfing, and positioned higher above the shoulder, but it could be more the vantage point of the pictures and videos I've viewed. So, for those that have windsurfed, do your arms, legs, torso, get tired ...

The size of the inflatable boards makes wing foiling quite amenable to travel. In case anyone is looking, its not obvious yet on the GONG website how to find these boards (at least to me). https://www.gong-galaxy.com/en/product/gong-sup-inflatable-hipe/ I need something to keep me going amongst the ...
