Lake Norman Wind

This spring has been kind to us as far as wind.  There's been some good conditions for both windsurfing and SUP downwinders.  Here are a couple of short video edits and pics...

SUP downwinder pics below - paddled with Rob Not Rob.  This first pic is from my Speed Coach GPS.  We launched from the Peninsula Yacht Club in Cornelius and paddled with the SW wind (15-20mph) down the main channel to Eddie's Bar & Grill in Mooresville.  Top speed was 8.2 mph.  1st mile was upwind shlog to the downwind line and last 2 miles was a warm down flat water paddle back to our car.   The middle 6.5 miles were pure downwind bliss.
