Cape Cod’s first cold windsurfing day…. but still fun!!

I set up my video camera on the dash of my van and just let it run. This is what I came up with. I was the only windsurfer for the fist part of the session. A bunch of other windsurfers showed up after I was done filming.

Blocktober Fest 2009

Went to Block Island ( Small Island off the East Coast) For 5 days in October. Killer 5 days! Had some good wind and waves to ride, good friends, a few beers and some great weather!! We did not get some great pictures because no one wanted to sit on the beach with a camera.

Here is a shot of one ride but we had much better rides than this.

Down the line in side-off wind.

Check out this contest!!! Talk about getting stoked!!! I want waves!!!!

After a short warm up in Etang Salé, the 16 riders of the team contest "La Reunion Wave Classic" had 3 days in a row of intense surfsailing in hardcore conditions on the local spot "Ravine Blanche".

The bummer summer is ending but the Great White sharks have invaded my playground!!

It was not the best wind summer on Cape Cod but I was very busy with work. I guess I should not complain. Better to have to much work these  days.

So over the last two weeks Great White sharks have moved into my home sailing spot and are chomping  on seals!

Not sure what to do. I know they have always been there but not in these numbers! And to see them in such shallow waters. This is right where we sail most of the time. Not so worried when sailing but if I get crushed by a wave and have to swim for my rig. Sketchy!!!!!!

SW summer winds are on the way

The first real SW warm and windy day on Nantucket sound. For me nothing beats a 4.7 session. Well ok a 4.7 session in head high waves is best but I will take a 4.7 bump and jump session any day of the week. Check out this video By Jerry Johnson  (Sorry for the kite Kooks)
