w.tiger, did you see Randy's forecast? He predicts it will be windy enough, though wet, to sail the Nat this weekend. You might be lonely if you go still though. Good conditions for you right now at Columbia. Thanks! I was in Tofino for 3 days for surfing. How about coming long weekend :) it states ...

Thanks all! big help! I have a 6.5 sail :shock: I did a first sail at Elk lake last night: lots of wind, lots of fun! happy :D I need a smaller sail for Nitinath as I still have sloppy jibes, and big sail will be hard to water start with strong winds. I just saw the aerial video of Nitinath posted ...

:D :D Welcome - And now for something completely different. Mijn vrouw Carla komt uit Nederland en we varen rond het eiland , net terug van een driedaags weekend op Nitinat. She is on a 294 slalom board and we used 4.5, 5.3, and 6.0 sails with no problems. I sailed a Bic Vivace 282 for many years ...

thanks all!

thnx. hahahaha ya who does windsurfing right? and a girl? :lol: I did when I got land locked for 6 yrs in Toronto, coming from Amsterdam with the sea half hour away! I'm a surfer and a sailor - so I thought I give it a try to combine both. FYI the wiki info on Nitinat is rather empty? any advice on ...

New to the island, I'm from the Netherlands, and I'm stoked to Windsurf again :D - Techno 293 Design - Only did lakes so far - don't want to drift off in the tide :roll: I work near: - Willows, minimum wind?, direction? - Cadboro bay, minimum wind?, direction? I live in Sooke: - Gordon beach? is it ...

Thanks!
