What are you're top 5?

On a NW or SE wind mine is Playalinda Beach.
On a SE, I also like The north side of Ponce Inlet Jetty.
NE and S, Cherie Down Park.
N, Patrick AFB 2nd light.
SW to W, Titusville.

All but the last are ocean sailing. Titusville is along the way to Playalinda, so its a great consolation if the conditions can't work in the ocean.

what about jetty park

hahahaaa

Sometimes I think the waves are bigger on the river than Jetty Park. Titusville was fun today, 5.3 Phantom and an Original wave 85.

I sailed the CA coast (Sunday) and it was going off with over mast high waves. I'm still alive and slowly coming down from the adrenaline rush. The original wave II 85 was a dream to ride with my 5.5 charge. I can't wait to log more time on the board in some traditional conditions or more eye opening ones like Sunday. I think Original Wave II's are calling my name this year.

Don't ask how cold the water was, I could have been in Alaska and not noticed the temperature. I'm also not the best when it comes to spitting out numbers in knots or mph. If you want, you can see some of the conditions in the area that day on iwindsurf.com

waiting for more wind in the SF Bay area,

Great Jason. Where was that? Why does the Original Wave 85 seem to be about the best all around Exocet by the way? I agree with you on that, obviously, but earlier today I was just wondering what exactly makes some boards stand out like that.

SW Florida is getting more fronts early and the winds are steady and strong. Yesterday 65 degrees outside temp and 35 MPH ( approx) winds at Pine Island. 4.2 and 78 liter board worked great. The season is starting off strong, let's hope it continues through April.
