Good to know about Rainbow beach. Thanks.

Cool. Helpful info., Andrew!

The reason in my case is because where I learned (Puerto Rico north shore) starboard was the only option for bump and jump. It was natural progression for me. I guess it would be the same for everybody else, unless they have access to breaks in both tacks and therefore easier to notice a preference. I have a regular stance (not goofy), but in starboard tack your stance is goofy and still it fills very natural for me, probably for the reason I explain above.

Do you get back there often to visit and surf?

The recommendations are from years of experience from riders and myself, sesh reports, and what locals are willing to share. Access to sites can change or be closed down. Updates can be made if a local has better or new info or tries a spot on a different direction.

As far as Wolf, haven't seen any sesh reports at that launch on a north wind.

A lot of great spots to choose from on the Big Lake.

Keep it simple,

Illinois, Wisconsin side - south wind: starboard - north wind: port
Michigan side - north wind: starboard - south wind: port


And then there's Brian who can make anything starboard

Simple enough! Looking at Clinton and the number of access points, it looks like you need to be pretty much spot on there with the wind and your launch site.

Andrew, LOL. Looks like the most practical option would be to man up and start jumping from port tack.

I like to point out that if what you want is to jump waves, going to Waukegan is pointless, since usually the lake is as flat as a pancake, or paper sheet, or iron board, or Keira Knightley chest (she still beautiful) with S wind

No, unfortunately. I go every 2 years, but you can't rent windsurf gear anymore. Dam kitesufing took over. If you want to windsurf in PR you have to bring your own gear.

By the way, the first time I ever jump a wave (starboard tack of course ) was on a 12' long original Windsurfer board, with dagger board and everything.

Manuel,
Do you know about Sotavento Watersports in San Juan? I'm going to PR for a conference at the end of May and plan to do some windsurfing there if the wind is still cooperating. Their gear looks pretty good!
