    :D :D :D :D :D :D A little more than Thursday, but I think the fall is upon us. Fog and PS still didn't drive things to the nukin state. One hour 6.0/95L with a few hops, the rest 6.0/111L practicing carve jibes. A nice finish for a big stint at NNL.

    almost a repeat of wednesday, except slightly more west and the water was a little choppier rather than wavy. Inspired by Ross and Ed, I went retro and tried spinning again. highlight was a nice double forward into toeside carve that I managed to land. Lots of fun!

    :D :D :D :D :D :D

    Although it looked like it would fire off in a big way (like Wed did....), 5.0/95L proved a bit less than desirable - hard to get upwind, and in one hole, I got a visit to the village dock :(. A walk, a change for 6.0/111L and bobs yer uncle. Perfect Nitinaht 6.0, lots of jibes on BOTH sides, a few of them carved on plane. Nice!

    silky smooth and steady south wind, light at first and steadily more through the session. direction made for some interesting runs along the beach getting going, kind of cool actually. highlight was my first ever highspeed, fully and evenly powered heel to toeside carve *without losing speed*. Only took me 6 years... :) hoping for more tomorrow! lowlight was going blind on port tack. :shock:

Out with the 5.0/95L for an 1.5 hrs, then finished with a 0.5 hr session of 6.0/111L. Several carve jibes, lots of successful jibes, and a few chop/hops. A few walks as well, when the gear in use became too small :roll:

    All in all, a nice session - I feel worked over....

    What a day for mid August!

    Plenty of wind became lots of wind which became too much wind for the 12m.

    Great for jumping though. Scary heights today even though they were only half the height of Watson's jumps!

    And the windsurfers had a great time.

    After yesterday's punishment, I was a bit slow to get on the water. But the legs managed to hold out ok. The wind was slow to pick up, but in the end it came up strong and I went out on the 5.3. I quickly realized I was super overpowered. Too much power to think about getting in the footstraps. Mostly I was just trying to hang on. But at least getting upwind was a cinch, and I could practice lots of downwind turns! Almost made one jibe - got the board and sail all the way around, but couldn't manage the foo ... (more)

    Had a great freestyle clinic put on by Rob and Wyatt who got the freestyle freaks stoked to go and try some stunts. Got some great tips and will be tweaking my forwards technique quite a bit as a result.

NICE!! Nearly kept up to Bobson on his Big Gear up and downwind, very impressive early planing and coasting through lulls. Easiest footstraps to get into I've ever tried, even though they were set up on ... (more)
