Oh really... maybe not "all the time", but they need a lot more help to get up.
Interesting, if you look close, you can see they reversed the camber on the wing to try and save a capsize (it didn't work). But in SanFran one of the 72s did save it in the same way and one of the crew later described it as "just like a water start for a windsurfer".

If you can't tell by looking at the water, the heel of the sailboats can be helpful. Van Pugh typically gets 2-5 more mph in my experience on a west. NW, they both tend to be more equal (ie crappy).
Webster typed, apparently without thinking: "They make it sound awful while the computer models and NOAA forecast each show no more than 20% chance (or even less). Am I missing something?"
And, yet, no rain at Van Pugh. That's all that mattered.
(Thanks for the text, though. I felt sympathy for you. Briefly. Very briefly.)
I sailed my 7.0. I foiled for 10 seconds. It was a good day.
The foil is like smoking a coca derived stimulant. You just want more of it. And like said stimulant, I can't afford it. If anyone finds me in an abandoned house working to raise the funds for a foil, please notify my family.

You amateur foilers need to remember one thing: gravity never takes a day off.

They're foiling, I'm foiling. What's the difference? About $10 million
... and about 25 kts.
um.... let me think.... oh, yeah
They don't fall all the time?

Channel 46 Weather's graphic had Thurs WINDY, Fri WINDY, Sat WINDY, Sun BREEZY.
I hope to Kite at Old Fed today and Friday (from WNW) and Windsurf Sat and Sun at Van Pugh (from East) early to beat the crowds.

Heading to LLSC- ETA 2p ~ Gate opens when you pull up to it
Can't make it today (it's effing killing me, I even loaded the van). I've got my reservations in for tomorrow, though.
You think the wind will still be up after work? I might come up to old fed around 630 if so.

Easy, reliable wind check for any south to west to northwest wind (notsomuch for east)

They make it sound awful while the computer models and NOAA forecast each show no more than 20% chance (or even less). Am I missing something?
The chance of rain at my house is nil since I live in a heat island affected zone.
The word "could" covers a lot ground.

Maybe just a slow news day.
"Any horrific mind-numbing tragedies?"
"Nope"
"Any ridiculous things from a politician's twitter feed?"
"Nope"
"Any biblically scaled plagues?"
"Well, no toads but it's summer time so it could - in theory - rain."
"Didn't we just write an article yesterday about a severe drought?"
"Don't worry, Our readers are idiots. They won't remember. Go with that."
Enough of this idle chatter... where's the wind?
What's the plan?
Who's going where?
Let's get this party started
Calm down, Pink.

Noonish to one. Van Pugh.
To my friends: River? No. Old Fed? Only if you're kiting. West Bank, Mary Alice? b**ch, pleeease.

Uh, Webster- it's coming down,
I'm hearing thunder.....
