La Ventana, Baja Mexico, October 22

The first serious El Norte winds have arrived in southern Baja; bringing clear skies, warms temps, and winds of 20 to 30knots.

Actually early season winds have been good this fall with 50% sailable days so far in October. Consistent winds usually begin along the East Cape of Baja in November, but the early winds have given us a chance to get out on the new 2008 Special Edition...the latest evolution in Ezzy's popular wave sail.

The sail maintains a balance of low end power that comes from the draft in the lower half of the sail, plus the top of the sail smoothly spills the gusts, which I believe gives you an even more balanced and controlled feeling while sailing. I can sail more relaxed in gusty conditions, and since we also sail the Gorge, being more relaxed in the gusts greatly increases the fun factor.

Rigging the sails is also easier for '08, with better instructions printed on the sail and video instructions from Dave on the website.

In practice, I noticed that setting the downhaul takes less effort, and there are 3 cords at the clew to set the boom length for light, medium, and heavy wind. I found that setting the downhaul towards maximum and then tuning the needed power with the outhaul setting works best for me. It's easy to set the outhaul as conditions change, on the beach or the water. This past week we have been out in 4.5 and 5.0 conditions, and were impressed with the smooth power and range of theses new sails. We'll be sending more reports from Baja as the season goes on, plus a rigging clinic on the beach during the Christmas week in La Ventana. Looks like a 4.0 day, so its off to the beach for more testing...somebody has to do it.

Why Ezzy Sails are different... -- rigging seminar with David Ezzy
Lots of outhaul, a radical draft-forward design, and rigging guides like no other -- sail designer David Ezzy shows WindSurfing's editor how to rig his latest Wave SE, and reveals why this sail has a cult-like following.
