Maybe I was hallucinating... but didn't someone post a month or so ago that
a windsurfer died on the upper reservoir at San Luis- someone who was a
strong sailor??? If this did indeed happen, I'd be interested in hearing
any details...

Hi All,

There was an earlier inquiry about the weeds at San Luis. They are now a
fact. At lower water levels (<219), you absolutely need a weed fin. At the
higher levels, you might get away with a short slalom or surf fin but not
for long. Every regular was sailing a weed fin over the weekend.

On the other hand, the weeds are a joy to hit at speed with a weed fin
because the water is totally flat in the heavy weeds and you just blast
through them. You want to fall somewhere else, though.
