Live2Kite says v3 will probably come out in June sometime. My season starts June so I will flip S25 then.

Still learning but it's time to flip the Naish S25 6.0m. Does the Ensis v3 come out soon? Would Ensis v2 be better than the Naish S26? Thanks for any help.

Drilling holes is good but check out the "Board Lady". Filling them with epoxy just makes a hard spot, it is an old school repair that I used to do. Try Gorilla glue or marine expanding foam, sand then cover with cloth and epoxy.

Neil Pyrde Tropical Round Toe Booties. Who knows how long it has been, 10 years in the NP TRTB booties? I have been walking over Coral Rock and pea rock and really feeling it. Now with restored tread not as bad and still have feeling on board deck. Should have done this sooner!

Have not been to the OBX. Maybe some North Easters are close to steady but for me it is mostly gusting with holes when I am windsurfing.

Right wrist since I am right handed and right calve for SUP.
No reason, just thinking right side is stronger since I use it most. Also crushed left wrist snowboarding. Doctor mentioned to treat it nicer and quit snow boarding. So now I longboard with a land paddle.

Does anyone know if Vitamin Blue is still operating? Email and phone messages go unanswered.
Used to use Lakes Bay then Midnight and it looks like Vitamin Blue is the only custom board bag builder around in USA.

Plus the scratches help keep the water from sticking to the foil making you faster.

This is the guard rail and rocks I climb over to get to the water. Also added more scratches to 1020 sliding over a coral rock.

15-17.Started out good standing up and got 2 lifts but was so stunned didn't push my front foot down. From there it was all down hill. Wait for a gust stand up and wing tip catches the water over and over. I think the wind was dropping after I started. Progression!!!
 The wind takes me to the rocks so I run out of room.

Thanks Surfcowboy. Going to one day off a week so I feel your pain. The wind doesn't like to cooperate on the one day.
