try this again... :) I would watch the last one for the best of the footage - the rest is basically me trying to stay upright on the shore...but wanted to post all - to each his own. Enjoy...

OK - I had my cheap camera and frozen hands - tried to take some pictures of the action...I won't win any awards for cinematography (yet) - but here is what I did capture.
Enjoy...

Well that was pointless...I'll figure it out shortly

Ah - you had a good time in Hawaii. I made two trips to the Mayan Riviera in the spring - didn't windsurf, watched kite-surfers, and did ++boogie boarding - a lot of fun. Have done a couple of runs at Tofino on a surf board and enjoyed the power of the waves - could become an addiction before too ...

While I'm here - I can get a complete windsurfer from the 80's - yes the good old days - feedback on the learing curve please.

I had a personal reference given to me - glad I went with the referral...well worth the trip.
Hoodriver - take I5 - 205? - 85 45 min East of Portland, Oregon
GOOGLE the route - to be safe.

Kevin in Parksville #250-951-9873 for lessons - he's on the beach until the end of Sept. Found that out after I made plans to go to Hood River for lessons. But it was Good times! Now I need some beginner gear.
140 or 150 GO to start - used would be nice.
You are all very entertaining!

Gramma Jo - do you have any beginner gear you want to sell.
Ideally I want a GO board 140 or 150L and a sail @ 4.1. Thought you may want to unload some gear if you have found what you are looking for.

Anyone out there teach windsurfing?
I suppose it's too much fun/not enough time to teach - but thought I'd ask.

I'm taking off to Cancun early March...will try to track down a windsurfing rental there, just to give me that SUMMER fix. Then I will use March to break in here in the "pond" at Piper's. The guys out there make it "look" easy...I spoke briefly to one guy there last Sept - said he used to teach it ...

Is it realistic to start windsurfing this time of year...I would be in the lagoon at Piper's? I'm thinking it would be safe enough to putter out there, and gain balance if nothing else.
In due time I will buy my own board/sail - which brings me to my next question:
Is there a difference between ...

Thanks alot - will look into it

Going to take up windsurfing (Nanaimo)- this time of year what type of suit is best for a "rookie".
Advice anyone?
