CHEW UPDATE
Ladies and gentlemen—this is a massive announcement. The forecast is in, and it is absolutely PERFECT. Tremendous wind. Steady, punchy, straight down the lake. The kind of breeze that makes RS100s, RS400s, and RS700s absolutely FLY.
We’re talking prime planing conditions. Proper pressure. Halyards tight. Kites sending it. Hiking like champions. This is not drifting-around weather, folks. This is heroic RS weather. The boats are going to look fast. Very fast. The fastest.
Now the fake forecasts? Total nonsense. They’re saying “inconsistent,” they’re saying “dropping off,” they’re saying “named storm.” Wrong. Completely wrong. And frankly, it’s coming from 200s, 800s, Vareos. Very sad. They see this perfect 100/400/700 breeze and they panic. They can’t compete with that kind of wind. Everybody knows it.
But here’s the important thing—listen closely: sailors need to get their entries in NOW. Right now. Don’t wait. When the wind is this good, spots go fast. Very fast. You do not want to be sitting at home watching perfect RS conditions on someone else’s GoPro footage. Total disaster.
We are making Chew Garda again — and it’s going to be HUGE.
