Sorry for posting this in (maybe) the wrong place. I placed a notice last fall in the lost and found, but received no response.

The new Doug's sensor reports more data points and shows more ups and downs. More data isn't necessarily good, like sitting too close to a tv. So which one more closely feels like the wind on the wate ... |

Don't know if the clouds cause or are caused by the changing conditions, and don't really care. I can't see pressure changes, but I can see clouds, and when I see them, it's enough to know to pay more ... |

As you head upwind push the mast forward toward the nose of the board in front of you, which shifts the center of focus forward and will push the nose through the eye of the wind. But don't leave it t ... |

I learned on the Malibu back in the early 80s, with a large camber-induced 6.0 sail, and I spent years learning to do what someone on new equipment learns in a day. Look up my post called "is the ... |
