If you get a good day it is worth the drive over to Bobby's place at Fort Walton. He has plenty of stuff.

Thanks Colin. Excellent idea (good cause too- the Steven C. Smith Regatta is a benefit for the Leukemia Society). Just spoke to Dan Burch & he's going to Shell Pt. I might also. F'cast now...

I just thought I would mention that the Steven C Smith is this weekend. Hey there is camping and windsurfing? Just a thought.

You are SOL for rental. The only shop I know of is on the Gulf Coast is all the way over in Destin, FL.

I don't know what kind of sea breeze we might expect, but it's looking pretty light through Monday.

CSB is interesting to me also. I assume the (weekend) NW f'cast is not good as it would try to kill any seabreeze, right?

cape san blas might be interesting.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. It was great fun sailing together. Marcel & his wife (from Atlanta) will be here next week. I'll try to get some more shots then and post them....

Week 2 sailed 5.2m on Monday, 6.7m on Tues, and 5.2m with an 84 liter board today. The water has warmed up requiring only a shorty wetsuit. Conditions have been incredibly good in Nags Head.
Wind every day, Gene was on 6.0 I was on 6.4 116l, still blowing. This trip has been so fun, tons of wind, warm, I even stood up on a kiteboard for about 1 nanosecond. Looks good till we leave, I'...

Gene, had 2.5 days of great sailing in Frisco Woods. On Friday, we went up to Avon and sailed out to the reef. 15 minutes sailing on a starboard tack on a 4.7 sail. The waves were not that big...

Sunday, not much happening.
Today, Monday, flew the 12 meter kite in the morning, tried the board, it's tuff. Then a very nice 6.0 afternoon, SW wind, warm and windy.

Barrett,
Those are some great shots. And I'm not just saying that because you made me look good!

I'm almost wishing I'd made the long drive to sail with you folks. Saw Barrett's pics and have read all about the fun and games on the small rigs. Sounds awasome. Good for Albert to get to th...

Thursday & Friday we had more good sailing at Nags Head. We sailed 5.2's until 1PM, then while eating lunch the North wind died. What an amazing week. With six days on small stuff.
Well, you guys are doing this at the last minute. The Regatta starts today.
Is anyone going or should I go riding dirt bikes again?
Forecast is 5 - 15
I am ready for a CSB...
