I looks strange.. wtf is wrong with the sail?

[peconicwindsurfer]

@WhiteDKpluto Hmm, could be not enough downhaul or battens not set perfectly. Also could be that it's a North Duke rigged on an Ezzy mast, which has a different bend than what the Norths were built for. Hope that cleared up your moment of wtf.

i wan't to go there !!! where is it ??????????

[peconicwindsurfer]

@enis1298 This spot is on the western end of Great Peconic Bay, Long Island, NY. It's accessible by boat or by sailing to it from the North Fork. There's another fantastic sandbar on the eastern end of the bay as well. If you're not in NY, I suggest using Google Maps satellite mode to find a secret sandbar near you. Clean, exposed wind is key.

[peconicwindsurfer]

That sail is a 6.2 North Duke, and the board a Fanatic Skate 109L

@peconicwindsurfer Yah.. thanks. You should fix that mate xD I looks so "hard" to hold. Like you'r pulling al your weight but non power were transferred to the board. I think it might be your fins :P

@kellytubby360 GOOD POINT! yeah, i'd never go out in an off shore if i could help it, i'd just pack the car up and drive to a diff beach that had on-shore or cross shore wind, lol.
