Hello Everybody,
I windsurf quite a bit in my early 20's in Brittany, France. I would like to get back in it after 35 years ;+) . I don't have any gears right now, would like to try again and if I am ok, I will purchase some equipment. I will stop by Saturday morning, does anybody has extra gears for me to try?
Let me know and thank you.

Welcome
I have already loaded out most of my loner gear.
I may have a boom. I will throw it in the van Saturday
I hope to be at Vanns Tavern 9ish
The club had a Start board I think. Not sure if we still do.
What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.
We do. The keeper of the Start is unavailable as his daughter is changing residences. Phillipe and I have already been texting this week. My timing continues to be of questionable quality lately.
Gents,
Thank you everybody... W F, I will call your contact and discuss. I will stop by and check the location and see what happens.
With NE wind in the Sat. forecast, please post if you plan to sail and where. Van Pugh has the best wind, but is closed.

Vanns 9ish for me
Same for me
I will be at Vanns too.

Same for me, Vanns 9ish.
Pascal will probably join too.
Perfect. I will be there ~ 9h'ish. Looking forward to meet everybody.
Live report from Vanns
Currently the wind line is about ~250 yards out.
Looks like there is decent wind in the middle, fairly consistent direction, does not look shifty like this past Tuesday.
May have to rig the 8.2m.
Hard to tell the wind strength from the launch. *it is supposed to get stronger as we get closer to lunch time
Not much boat traffic just some bass boats.
12 empty parking spots in our preferred area
Edit at 9:00
Hamdi and I are rigging 5.7m
Wind is stronger now the windline is still far away but closer than it was
Some good wind in the middle .
5 7m more than adequate.
Good turnout

Ditto on everything Langdon said, particularly"5.7 more than adequate" part. I did 20 miles in a little less than 2.5hrs straight, 90+% on the wing - the rest felt equally split between on and in the water (former due to rare lulls, the latter due to strong gust, trying to stay in the harness, trying to jibe in the gust, and plain old 'I screwed up'). ?
Hoping more of the same Sun am and possibly Mon mid-day for me.

Sorry I missed this. I'll be there tomorrow morning.

Fun times today! I am getting slightly more comfortable on the Techno, I made it back without a tow, so that’s progress.
I’ll be back at Vanns tomorrow morning.

I plan on going to Galts on Sunday. By the way what are people doing for water wear? I have not seen the water since last October. How cold is the water/air combo? Shorty weather or board shorts?
Water was still warmish today. I was in shorts today with a .5mm NP Windtop and was very comfortable on the water. But at the parking lot after sailing it was a little chilly.
