First time windsurfing on the ocean :shock:. Jen Finck and I went out after the hubbies rigged our gear for us, and took care of the kids on the beach while we battled the waves. :x We both were pommelled, and had some crazy falls (wouldn't classify as wipeouts, as we weren't going fast enough). Both of us got up planing only twice after two hours.....mostly just the walk of shame... :cry: We were both underpowered near the beach, and found it extremely challenging to waterstart or beach start.
The wind really filled in when Rob, Kelly, and Greg went out (around 5pm). The regulars all said it was the windiest that they had ever seen Gordon's. :shock:
Marcus had a pretty crazy wipeout, and came in covered in blood after breaking his nose in 4 places, and a goose egg on his forehead.
Overall, it was a fun way to spend the afternoon.
Jen and I both agreed to try it again soon! :D
