Updated Race Results and For Sale Pages

I updated my list of Race Results. It's been a fun couple decades racing Mowind events and the occasional National and International championships. I'm looking forward to the US Windsurfing National Championships in Worthington, MN in a couple weeks.

This will be the fourth time Nationals has been held there, and I've fared pretty well. I finished in the middle of the pack in the Formula Fleet in 2003, won the Open class in 2008, and finished second in Open in 2014.

I also updated my list of gear For Sale.

2017 Dam Jam picture

I was looking through files from 2017 and came across this picture from the Dam Jam. It was after racing on Saturday. 7.8 Reflex6 on Futura 97L. Photo by Adam Anderson.

Longboard jibes

Between races 2 and 3 on Saturday of Windpower Champs there was a pretty good breeze so I took off on a downwind run and did a series of jibes on the Starboard Phantom 377 with Severne Raceboard 9.5 (gen3). 6 jibes and didn't drop below 10 mph. 20-25 mph speed on each reach in between. Here is the 3 minute clip of that gps track.

Here is the zoom out of the overall gps track. I started taking data after Race2, a little before the jibing event around 12:15. Track includes races 3 & 4.

New Drake slalom fin

I got the 38 cm drake slalom DW (downwind) delivered today. Feels pretty flexible - similar to the vector g10 fins.

Left to right: vector volt2 42cm, drake slalom DW 38 cm, vector Rockit 34 cm, tectonics goldwing 30 cm.

GoPro Video from First Session

I wore a GoPro during the first session and uploaded to YouTube. The session had about 10 mph wind at the start, then light 5 mph wind, then moderate 15+ mph wind near the end. I sailed the 3rd generation Severne Raceboard 9.5 on the Starboard Phantom 377, and Alex sailed a 9.5 Overdrive on his Phantom 380.

First session was a success

First session of the year was good. Sailed 9.5 Raceboard 3rd gen on the phantom 377 and Alex sailed his R6 Overdrive 9.5 on his Phantom 380. Wind was 8-12 out of the south when we started but was forecast to shift. We ended with some good 15-18 mph out of the north working northeast.
