I'm shocked! Johnny was my hero for living life to its fullest, even as we aged. A wonderful piece of writing that sums it up for me. REMEMBER Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Rememb...

I almost always use this data for sailing, surfing and canoeing decisions. Not only would I be lost without it, in some cases, my safety would have been at Risk.

These are some of the more important tools available to the sailing/ocean users community.

Nice suit. Try the middle one, Pyro classic. Has the flex points built in for the knees and hips as well as better reinforcement. i'm not sure how it is priced compared to the light.

They would both be fine, the OR website outlines the differences really well.

Kus and I spoke about this, hence my previously edited post. He would like to keep it just KA for now, which is totally fair seeing as he is putting up he prize and it is his idea. I personally think that it is a win,win situation for both KA and BWD. However, he did mention something about a harnes...

I do recall when the windsurfing society ran it, the annual pass was fairly pricey and the overnight rate was, I think, the same as now. Overnight rate was $8, annual pass was $30 and if you wanted to belong to the society, there...
