10.05.2008 - Cold feet? Get the real windsurfing boots.
|
Review from Boardseeker Magazine:
For those types that pack up mid-October and re-join the freezing masses the following April look away now. But for the all-year, hardy sailors, these slinky, kinky rubber split toes are what you want to keep your pinkies warm without feeling like you’ve just put a pair of wellies on to go sailing. We were given several pairs to try during the recent Boardseeker Freeride test which we did throughout March and into April when the hills above us were still covered in snow!
"The 'Barefoot feeling' is achieved by using a natural latex dip process which is unique to ATAN."
Did we like 'em? Hell yes!! They really felt different than normal wetsuit boots. Much more feel through your sole of your foot and the split toe (although it felt a bit strange to begin with) allowed you to use your foot naturally, ie.pressing down with your big toe to get the board on the plane or initiating a gybe etc. The split toe also stops your foot sliding to the front of the boot.
"New to the split toe range this summer is the MADI; a summer split toe boot/shoe."
They were comfy, easier to put on than normal boots and most importantly; warm. We’d love to try and find some fault with the boots so you’d think we were giving them a ‘fair review’ but they really were stunning. Why all the other manufactures keep producing the same old dinghy style boot for windsurfers is beyond us. Buy a pair now!!
Top Tip: Go for a snug fit!

09.05.2008 - Punta San Carlos Wavesailing
|
We went to Punta San Carlos this weekend which is a world class wavesailing spot 275 miles south of Tijuana. When I first got there on Thursday, I was on a 4.2 wound with nice size waves. The rest of the time I sailed 4.7 and 5.0 with my 85 liter wave board. Kiters were on 6-7 meter kites most of the time.
I went with Ron the Cabrillo Beach KA Rep, and we mostly windsurfed at the Beach Break although I did a downwinder to the Chili Bowl which is a much faster wave. When you go deep, the wind is almost completely shut off, which is pretty good for waveriding but hard to get back out.
The drive from TJ to PSC went smooth, with the exception of getting slightly lost in Tijuana. We took a wrong turn and ended up in the most sketchy part of town with 6 homies waving at us to come over to them. lol. After that, the drive went fast and we were down to PSC in about 7 hours.
Here are some of the pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30373127@N08/sets/72157607187112147/

07.25.2008 - Select Fin Demo Day
|
Excellent speed, super light, and the best flex characteristics we have tested in many years . . . no wonder three of the top 10 guys on gps-speedsurfing are using Select Fins! The demo day went great, and many sailor were stoked with the performance of the Select Speed fin SL7, the Super Cross, and the Freestyle fin. Our personal impression is these fins feel like one with the board when sailing, and even the speed fin was great in bump and jump. Check them out, and order yours today!
