Evanston's Lee Street Beach provided good wind and waves from 8 till 11am today. the onshore waves were head high at times. it was fun jybing off the top of a big wave turning fast and deep in the trough. i used a 6.7 sail and fast costom Open Ocean board.
anyone sailing huge sails out there? I don't know why it's taking me so long to think I may be missing out, I've only sailed sails in the 6 range. i shaped a paddleboard a while ago and put a mast track in it, but haven't sailed it. Anyone doing 9.0's or 10's on paddleboards and ripping? whats it like without footstraps?, or should i sink some inserts into my deck?
I have 2 surfing boards and 4 sails for sale. The boards are longboards, which are good for beginner-intermediate in low-medium wind. The boards are HiFly Supernova and Mistral LCS-XR, respectively. The sails are: Gybe 5.0, Gybe 6.0, Rushwind, and O'Brien.
STARBoard, GO Series, for sale, size 280, two masts, two booms, 9.0 sail and 7.5 sail. Mast extensions, two fins, harness and harness straps. Like New condition.
Hey, I'm moving to Batavia (Illinois) on april for a year and was planning on buying a board and a sail and storing it in somewhere near the lake, do you know of some places to do so? Thanks a lot in advance.
