New Sail, all I need now is wind!
I recently got a new 2010 4.5 Neilpryde Combat, now I just can't wait to get out on the water and use it! I've had my 2007 Combat for two years now, its a 5.2, and the good thing about these sails is that they have a ton of power.
They get me planing in the slightest breeze and they feel nicely balanced in your hands. Hopefully ill get to use my new 4.5 for most of the time we're down in Hatteras!

RECAP: Hurricane Earl hits Sherkston!
Back in 2010, early September, Hurricane Earl hit Canada as it was fading down. When I say fading I mean 40+ knots of wind and the biggest waves I've ever sailed in Ontario. The spot is Lake Erie, Sherkston Shores. Wave sailers should definitely check this place out.
Bellow is a video I put together for professional freestyler Phil Soltysiak CAN-9 (www.philipsoltysiak.com), ranked 6th overall in PWA freestyle 2010. He's using his 3.8m Sailworks Revolution and 88l Starboard Flare. Bellow that is a video of me sailing that same day, I was overpowered on my 4.2m and freestyling in those conditions seemed impossible, but Phil's a pro and he put on a sick show.
Check it out!

Cape Hatteras!
Its almost that time of year again, midterms are done, final projects are due, and exams are only a month away. As the school year comes to end we know Hatteras is around the corner. This will be our third year heading down.
We're going to be there from April 30th to May 21st. Thats three weeks of pure freestyle windsurfing fun. Heres a short video of Adam from our trip last year: Adam ripping up Cape Hatteras 2010
Last year we had a great time so we're always excited to go down. We got to meet the worlds best windsurfing instructor, Andy Brandt, he had a clinic at Wind NC. Wind NC is a great windsurfing shop owned by Andy McKinney. Check out his shop here.
