We will miss you Andrei, and never forget you. Sail on where ever you are buddy - always go for it. The tears hurt right now, but I am glad to have known you and shared the times that we did. Windsurfing has brought so many of us together, and your contributions and friendship with so many of us has...

Easy, cheap, durable, and despite Downwind Dave's concern re leaks, if you sand the scar edge for a good bond (320 grit), wipe with alcohol (to clean/dry) and marine Tex it, you are good to go. I learned a good trick from a Kus post a few yrs ago: put a piece of Saran wrap over the goo, and then you...

BWD has not only provided a missing service to all wind nuts here, but he has given us a community (as wierd as it is) that we never would have known. Thanks Dave for your Vision and perserverence. I'd for one like to thank you !!!!

Sadly I have to work all day today. Would love to join you guys, have fun!

Give me a ping when you think you know when you are headed out. I'll make the trip, wherever. We're all pulling for you - keep the positive vibe dude!

Probably the best place to go for a SE when you are learning, as long as he tide is above 3m. If it's 5.0 or greater at CB, it will always be 5.5-6.0 at Rowland road. Nice rigging area out of the wind. Walk upwind (even in the water) 100 yards to launch. Have fun!

No cookies, no loopies. Here's hoping a sleigh full of wind gets here tomorrow!

The fishes have added to the tally - Can't wait to share the waves again soon RD!

Maybe there is some to be had down in Gold Beach? I've used it for yrs and never get boom rash...

Have fun at the Bash!!!

Looks great JC - Thanks lots for the work you have done!

Just to bring it to the top of the list.

A silver pendant with an 'oceanic', possibly Baja theme was recently found in the mud in the CB parking lot. Probably lost on the last big CB day. PM with a description to reclaim your treasure.

What would we have done in the face of these perils before the weather station? Must have been a dangerous world before..... :) Probably the weather station was hit by a gust, and in the convening seconds, the resonant whip on the whippy Al post forced the meter against the tail of the gust, multipl...

And there is no place like the OR coast when it is on. 10+ Sailing with waves. Period. We'll be there a few times this summer....

I hear that sharks are actually more attracted to pee than blood, for what that'd be worth. Maybe a drysuit IS a good idea after all?
