That's right, I was supposed to dub in some Corb Lund!. Sorry, no tunes with me.

The video was taken at the next beach upwind of Kehookipa, so that is why the waves are not as big as further down the lake.

Nanmoo, there is much wind in Alberta, but one has to drive long distances to find decent water. I like the Oldman Dam the best, since it is the most consistent for wind, and the scenery is beautiful. Keho is great for waves sometimes, but is less reliable. Check out Windsurfing Alberta for more info on where to sail.

I have a new vid too!

Winddoctor Windsurfing Florence Oregon, July 19, 2009

The bunch of us in OR at the time already watched the entire hour of video at horse camp that evening. It was a pretty tame day, but I still think the video is interesting.
Oh, and thanks BWD for making it easy to embed the video like below!

Some shaky clips from the fun November 15 Columbia Beach session. The first time I have played with HD video on the Pentax Optio W80!

Great video 4J! That was such a good day. I'm sure looking forward to the return of the SE winds. Hopefully it's a wet and windy Christmas this year.

Wow, it has been over two years since I did a video. A sign of being overworked I guess.

I found some time to go through my gopro footage from my 2011 Christmas holiday. It is a bit erratic, so take some gravol.

Note that I don't mind if you come close to me when I've got the helmentcam on -- in fact I prefer it! It makes for good video.

It was great to see you all! I hope I captured some of the good vibes. Warning: contains Christmas tunes.

Be sure to watch this in HD and full screen so you can see more detail/ distant action (HD button should be blue - you may have to watch it on Vimeo).

Very cool. The gopro sure makes those waves look good, maybe you need to take that to Klover or JR on a bigger day. The stills always leave me confused :? they don't ever seem to capture what I see out there :idea: strange stuff.

:D :D nice job, what a great little clip, tunes, even a Santa appearance :P Glad I made it THAT day, and this clip made THIS day 8)

Fun video with some good moves. Not epic conditions, but way better than most I see posted! I liked the music too. I guess it's hard to watch the subject and watch where you are going at the same time. Hope to see you back here soon along with some of your Mom's cookies.
