I just checked the iWindsurf archives, and it's been blowing out of the North since Monday, August 31st. 11 days straight, with cooler temps, and punchy wind. I think we can go ahead and just say that we've moved on from summer... And right into one of my favorite times of year!! Yeehaw!
Tuesday, September 10th, iWindsurf meters

Anne, 3.7 and 75 combo

Anne, Mach 2 Jibe...
...Attempt :)
Don't forget to smile!
It felt too windy to do much more than loop and hero jibe!
After the big winds, it faded and went west... with a leftover northeast swell... which equals insane surf conditions! Again, the sacrifices were many- buckled and broken boards, and a bit of slice and dice action on some legs. Coulda been much much worse, but Stuart ended up with 11 stitches! Again!! More on that later...
That's way bigger than it looks...
Oh yeah- more insane sunsets, to boot!
Wave Jam is fast approaching! If you don't have your travel plans, you'd best get on it!! Free in-store wave sailing clinic on Friday, September 25th, 7 PM. And the competition is scheduled for that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... Cross the fingers for waves and wind!!

Odd that it's already Fall down younder in paradise. Up here in Ontario (Ottawa) it's finally been a beautiful summer for at least 4 weeks now!
Certainly sir. Calendar be damned it is Fall! I got my first taste of those punchy N winds Monday. Only kit I had was a 9.5 and a 158 liter board. Dang!!!!!!!!!!
Nice one hander there Andy
