« on: January 31, 2013, 11:35:21 AM »
Being a windsurfer too , I have been following the rescent Red BUll Stormchase online. The first video from monday has just been released.
Amazing to see the power of mother nature

what an amazing event, some of the captured images are downright horrifying.  I think this extreme stuff has to be great for the image of windsurfing too.   can't wait so see some extended footage, i am sure they are saving it all up for an IMAX movie or something.   :D  here on Vancouver Island we haven't had a solid wind session since mid december.. luckily i have paddlesurfing to keep me in shape and stoked.

Hey Rick, Weed, Geoff, Terry, Mark and all:

Did you see that Cape Sailor and part-time Boston Resident John Angulo made a cameo appearance?

WOW!!!!!!! That is AWESOME! I could NOT imagine sailing in wind like that. The smallest sail i ever had was a 5.3. Most of my windsurfing was done with a 6.0 on a 9'2" Bruce Jones custom.....occasionally i would need my 6.6 sail......man, i need to get back into windsurfing again.....

sailed some 30-35 knots 2 weeks ago  in the Grenadines and was on 5.0 (my smallest)  and that was brutal

I am amazed those guys sail the size sails that they do in 70-100 knots..amazing.  I'd think in those conditions a cloth napkin would be big enough.
