if it is going to blow in the morning we are thinking about going to Michigan site, but if you are going to Wolf maybe we can meet you there.

I was thinking St. Joe/Toscornia, leaving around 6 am from Chicago. If you don't mind, I'll give you guys a call so maybe we end up in the same place

Never been to Warren Dunes. Any thoughts on tomorrow over there?

by **themooshes1** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 11:25 pm

Hit me up, I'll go where everyone else goes. I want to get up and out as early as possible.

Heading to Michigan now, not sure what these storms are going to bring but I have a growler of Iron Fist from Revolution just in case... :lol:

heading 2 wolf lake now

At Weko now, heading to warren now. Wind might be picking up a bit...or just wishful thinking. Thinking about just renting a SUP.

Whoever made it to St. Joe by 6 or 7 am showed a lot of foresight... By 10:30, it wasn't enough for a 14 m...

Ripping in St Joe early......was running a bit behind due to a blowout near New Buffalo.

It was cranking good though when I got there bout 9 30.....headed downwind to carve up some waves and cruise the coastline. Went about 8 miles or so, then hitched back to the beach. Good times!!!!!!!!!

Tom,first class self-rescue today,thumbs up!!!Maui did you only good....

btw..since almost all left,it picked up from 3-5

by **xwindsurf** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:57 pm

Yeah... I can even body-drag upwind like a pro now... Just hoping one day I won't need these skills so often... But the freaking kite deflated and there wasn't much I could do...
Thanks, Ivo, for taking my board with you - it helped

by **IVO** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:05 pm

You'll be there in no time,dont worry..Ha,I had to rode your board back,since that thing was so heavy and oversized :lol:

and I need speed for 8m..

by **xwindsurf** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:12 pm

Now Ivo, following your advice, I'm getting that LF Rawson 6'2" so hopefully next time you'll have a nicer ride :wink:

by **IVO** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:45 pm

Tom,my days on the surfboard are way to young to give advice.Cory is chief of this departmant..But that board is build to last,has a lot of volume and turn fast..Slavi has one and now Petr,but as I said,why dont you try that board first before you gonna buy it.Maybe tmr. you'll have a chance to try it :wink:
