What's with the parasail thing at 0:40? is that a kitesurfer? Way out there that far to sea?

[earthbound06]

@1DanielChristensen  Its SF bay, not way out in the ocean....

[extremeandyt]

windsurfing is cheaper and faster so whats the point in sailing an 18

[earthbound06]

Have you sailed an 18 is the question. Every Windsurfer i know who has knows how much fun they are. And faster....An 18 won the bridge 2bridge this year afterall...

"windsurfing is cheaper and faster so whats the point in sailing an 18"

-Okay, then using your "logic" , since kite surfing is a HELL of a lot faster than windsurfing, and costs about the same, what's the point in windsurfing ?

Its all about being out there doing what you dig, and not slamming other people because they choose something else. Grow up.

Just a Note, A SKIFF won the bridge to Bridge Last year, Against kites and Windsurfers....insert foot in mouth please.

@P4nn3m4n

Gennaker is most definitely not German only usage. It goes at least back to the 1970s. It refers to a balloon broadseamed foresail flown from the centerline rather than on a spinnaker pole. Gennaker is a merging of Gen(oa) and (spi)nnaker.

@extremeandyt

Trying to coordinate boat speed and balance of three people without killing or hurting yourself if the point of the skiff.

@mindreadingradios what are you talking about man windsurfing, goes alot faster than a kite i do both and in really heavy winds i kicked this guys ass in the ocean so get your facts straight bitch!!!!

[BnS1374]

@extremeandyt Windsurfing? Faster? Funner? LOL! I don't think you have ever sailed an 18.

[Jan420er]

sailing is the best



[maxendenia]

I love 18 ft! never sailed, I sail 29er but I think the gennaker of the 18ft is way over powered..

[bsinton]

i agree stop winging and get on the water

[font9a]

It gets more interesting when a boat has to cross the ocean, all seasons, in all conditions, but the big speed records aren't going to shatter all over the place.

Note, Skiff has bigger sail and surface area, windsurfers are on formula kit which shows there aint much breeze, obviously going to win!
