Every now and then I feel, as a budding shredder the need to post about
my progress (when the rare milestone occurs.......)
So here it is: yesterday using 6.0 Gridlock sail, at Shoreline
.........................and after what felt like an eternity of
trying and high octane arm pain......
I WATERSTARTED!
It was a tremendous feeling, one which I look foreword to repeating many times!
I also want to thank the guys who were at Shoreline yesterday ( they
seem like they might be on this list) who gave great advice again and again.

>So, what's up with Oyster Point? <
Steve Watson has talked to the Oyster Point Harbor Master on several occasions:
They are going to build a concrete windsurf-ramp with steps, a little
further out than
the old launch site. The plans and the funding exist, and they are going to
build it this summer.

Most of the time the wind shadow is not so bad, e.g last monday I
planed on a 4.7
right from the start. Most of the time it takes one or two waterstarts
to get to
the windline.
>Are there any other access points to that area that I'm missing?<
I dont think there any others.

At Handar I design meteorological instruments like cloud-height and visibility
sensors and of all things an ultrasonic windsensor.
