WD, I'd use divinycell the sides of the box (see boardlady.com online), not balsa. Balsa is a total water sucker if any leak were to develop. Divinycell will not adsorb water to the same degree if you were to develop a small crack. The larger the divinycell bearing area you create the better. http:/...

Columbia Beach can be hard on fins. Nursing the last bit out of that wave can do significant damage if your fins are carbon fiber or polyester fibreglass. G10 can survive a lot better. Pictures show the repair of quad "Maui Fin Company" carbon main fins that lost about 1/8" length and...

I use a excel 5/4 xplorer. I cannot get thru those top entry suits with the small opening in the top. I tried on a top entry at the shop and with a lot of sweat and near exhaustion I still never got into it. The excel xplorer is a back zipper (very easy to get into). It is about $250 at island longb...

To be fair, most of the items I have been selling off /donating are things that I have accumulated or been given over the last several years from people who have given up windsurfing. My daughter and I originally intended for her to continue with windsurfing and bring her new husband into the sport,...

Hope you are not referring to Ralph and I in your post! Ralph pays $40 a month as a corporate sponsor for a small ad on the Pipers cam. I host the cam. Other locations BWD pays the internet bill. In my case I don't ask for money. Guess I could get paid the $40 a month and donate it back so I am on t...
