Juandesooka: MF4: no, can't body drag as far as I can figure out. Tangles, none yet, but I suspect in surf it could be epic. Can maybe lessen cords using reel leashes. - Monday September 23, 7:45PM
Rvanderbyl: Nah...too many waves there. - Monday September 23, 5:36PM
More Force 4: JDS, can you 'body drag' downwind with the wing back to your board like you could with a kite? I guess the answer doesn't matter, its use two leashes (sounds like we are getting into kite-line tangle territory with two strings attached though!!). Maybe we need a forum topic? - Monday September 23, 5:22PM
Jellyfish: OSR CB: coming in solid; whitecaps into beach; better than what Ray's cam shows... Not worth checking and upsetting Ray. Rigging when it bumps up a touch more cause I like my 4.7...and perfect tide ALL afternoon. See you there Ray? - Monday September 23, 2:33PM
Rvanderbyl: If mutts and you other people are going to keep sailing CB can you at least get the webcam working again so I know what I'm missing. Not sure i want people checking my cam here at SP if you're just going to sail there anyway. 😜 - Monday September 23, 2:09PM
Juandesooka: Scarlet...yes, you use a leash onto the wing itself and also one on the board. I figured board one wasn't needed, then had my first "wing-mare" at Spanish Banks. Turns out a big floaty sup sails downwind faster than i can swim. Yikes! - Monday September 23, 12:37PM
Juandesooka: Thanks Pasta. the learning curve for me has been steeper than expected...that was my single good session so far. Main issue: it needs wind in high teens in learning stage. - Monday September 23, 12:35PM
Jellyfish: Mutt Alert: CB is starting to twitch☺️ - Monday September 23, 12:29PM
Scarlet: How do you get back to your board when you fall,? Is there a lanyard attaching you to the sail wing? - Monday September 23, 10:39AM
Thankgodiatepastafobreaky: Great Photo Of The Week pick Sandy! Bravo Juandesooka for pioneering a new sport here. - Monday September 23, 8:35AM
Teabag: All good now, got drop off point.Tks Todd. - Friday September 20, 4:41PM
Teabag: Anyone in Comox that could take a wetsuit for Comox Kite repair, and a wind fest shirt for Erin? Drop off at 2130-2200. Im just the messenger/driver. Unfortunately Greg kite repair might be away on holidays. If you live in Comox and dont mind taking this delivery, it would be really apreciated. If not I guess wetsuit and shirt will have to return to Victoria. Sorry Luke/Erin/Gregg. - Friday September 20, 4:24PM
Bwd: FYI Ogden Point is now officially named the Breakdancing District, please update your bookmarks. - Wednesday September 18, 12:32PM
Nanmoo: Solid 10m when I left 15 mins ago. - Tuesday September 17, 1:08PM
Eric: IV OSR? - Tuesday September 17, 12:42PM
More Force 4: kite launching on Willows cam. Dead onshore according to flag = not much room for messing about in the shorebreak! Glad someone is on it. - Tuesday September 17, 9:38AM
Uddereef: Yep.see you there!!! - Tuesday September 17, 7:22AM
Windsurfish: CB today mutts? - Tuesday September 17, 7:05AM
Seazen: IV OSR Not very windy ... - Tuesday September 17, 6:31AM
Martyd: Cook St or IV???? - Tuesday September 17, 6:29AM
