It is 8'4", 85 liters, 75% wave and 25% slalom design. It was created to compete
with the mistral ecstasy and is similar in design.

I will be in Avon ("hatteras") Oct 22-25 to test the new line of BIC's. I will
give my comments to those interested when I return.

I know that on skate boards and snow boards some people like one foot in

Nope.  I skateboard and waterski with my left foot forward.  When
sailing, I'm much more comfortable jumping with my right foot forward
(on starboard tack).

I haven't talked to anybody who doesn't have a favorite side for
jumping, jibing, SPEED(!), etc.  I can duck-jibe easily from starboard
tack, but I have a hell of a time executing it from port tack.  I seem
to sail faster on port tack.  In five years of high wind sailing, I've
NEVER been thrown over the handlebars while on port tack!  Now that's

I thought that the fact that Dunkerbeck and Bringdal always use them
for all racing (and wavesailing too in Dunkerbeck's case) was enough
evidence for me:-) But on the same thread, I read in a mag recently that
people using the North "Ergo" harness (a complete seat and back
support harness) have also found an increase in speed - though I am
not sure if this was compared to a regular seat-harness or not. Anyone out

Hi,

With the seasons end comming near and a fairly abusive summer passed,
I have decided to regrip my booms.

Does anyone have any comments or recommendations onto 
1) how to strip the ripped/trashed progrip off of my chinook booms.
2) tips on putting on new grip
3) recommendations regarding brands of boom grip (is there anything 
other than progrip?)

The last time I did this was to old f2 and Windsurfing booms that had
vulcanized rubber on them that had such a good grip it would rip your
hands down to the wood within a few hours of sailing :)

In the old days, the process was to use contact cement, start in the
inside of the booms in the center of the grip, overlap one edge and
file the outside edge down to the inside one.  This would result in an ugly 
seam on the outside of the boom but it worked well.

Has anything changed?

Comments..

Venky is the guy at Bellcore who is responsible for hacking out the

ftp onto the local archive machine (the dept. 212 machine):  
   flash.bellcore.com   (128.96.32.20) 
to see if the file:
   wxmap.v2.1.tar.Z
has been updated yet. I will keep trying and post a message when I find
out that a new tar file has been archived.

Has anyone outside of Bellcore found a UIUC server that will work with
wxmap? How about uiuc.edu? If noone else is able to access or use
wxmap, I will try to contact venky and get him to help me make it
more accessible. 

If you have gotten wxmap working outside Bellcore, how about posting
some hints for others. If you have tried and failed, let me know, and
I will try to get help. Frankly, I haven't looked into the source
code myself.

One of my sailing buddies has one and seems to sail his other boards rarely now. He finds it
to be good in high wind (its only 8'8") and surprisingly good in lighter winds. He also
finds it fast.

I tried it once early in the season at San Luis and it was MUCH faster and MUCH quicker to plane
than my old Deatrend 9'1". IN fact I decided right then and there to get a new board and would
have bought an Adagio if I had found a good deal at the time. Most of the mail order places
seem to not stock them.

In the end I bought a used race board, but I often wonder whether the Adagio for half the price
might not be just as good.

Just another example.  I sailed Sat. (first time in 11.5 weeks) and let my
friend with the intermediate 1990 5.0 sail try my 1989 Rushwind 5.1 with the
tube battens.  It was too light for his old 5.0, but he was ripping around
and making lots of jibes with his 8'8" ASD board and my sail.  I, on my
8'11" ASD with a 6.1 SW Race, used to be much faster.  That day I had to do
all I could to stay ahead.  Needless to say he bought the sail.

This doesn't sound resonable.  I got a new arm for a 1991 boom still
under warranty last month (recall the personal record story where I
went through 2 booms in one day :)  Chinook installed it while I
waited with no hassles.  If you've got this year's boom, they should

This discussion of course boards prompted me to ask what's the going price
for a used Equipe.  I saw one advertised for $700 recently.  The owner
claimed it was a 1991 LCS, but the graphics didn't match the pictures I've
seen of 1991 Equipes in magazines (which showed boards with yellow graphics).

Can anyone tell me if this is a fair price for an Equipe that appears to
be in good condition?  I live in the S.F. Bay area.  Am I ever going to
have much use for this board given that wind conditions around here
generally favor short boards?  Perhaps I'll use it more when I want
to switch from windsurfing as a speed thrill sport to a touring sport.
Any ideas?  Thanks.

World cup sailors have used cource-slalom boards, even in marginal wind

cource-slalom boards and had to use ordinary courceracers. But now things

sailed per year.  One of my neighbors answered that he sail about 170 days
per year.  He is a geologist and does most of his work by computer.  He could

and heads for the river.

I noticed that he never tries to get his sails dry.  He just rolls them up

I just began sailing at Coyote Point this summer

  - yellow and rather cylindrical (long axis vertical 
  - orange, round (2' in diameter?), and farther out (twice as far?)

Does anyone know the distance between shore (Coyote Pt. parking area

brace for the last week.  I drink alot of milk and take a large dose of

on my boards next Friday (Oct 2).   

I broke my leg in a similar fashion - jumping off in shallow water
expecting to land on mud and rather found a rock on a sandy area.  At least
I had a good 2 hours of 5.1/8'8" sailing before I came in.
