RD: Glad to hear you were out on the water - that's awesome!!! :D :D :D The cancer is going down, ... ^^^^^^^^ :D ...I am coming back up... ^^^^^^^^ :D I know it is funny, but there's nothing to report. 2/3 of my radio passed. 2 weeks left and after that 6 cycles of chemo. ^^^^^^^^ :D Keep the 'grea...

Great news Andrei!

OK, so here is the reveal. :shock: The "Thinking of you" patch (or TOY patch) PROTOTYPE was applied to my 5.2 at about 9:45 am on Tuesday, October 4th and was on the water at 9:50. It was in use for about 45 minutes and was up in the air and part of a couple body-only forwards (it helped m...

That is very nice guys! I am impressed and ashamed a little :oops: R.D. you have no reason to be ashamed ... Just get through this & get out on the water where you belong :!: What JL said - ditto for me. What makes me feel ashamed is the day we were sailing at Pistol River and you offered to ta...

No worries - thanks for pointing that out - I'll make the change in the morning.

edit/ changes done (and nanmoo, I've met you so I know you are definately NOT a debbie downer! ).

Thank you guys for your great support! Finally it is a time for my weekly report. Actually not much to report. First week passed, I feel great! So far no side effects from chemo or radio. I am training (mildly) every day to keep my body ready for later weeks. I am a little intimidated by what peopl...

... If you overrotate, u can let go of the boom right at the end ... Treat boom as jet-seat on over-rotation - got it. ...The practice of bailing out however promotes chicken bail outs too early when you might have landed one... I have crashed hundreds of back loop attempts - mostly 3/4 rotations e...

Glad to see the wind/waves have been treating the Island well! Yesterday was the first fall session (for me) here in the Lower Mainland that set up for back looping. PORT jumping was favoured at Centennial. That’s right, no typo - back loop (attempt) port jumping on ENE at Centennial – who knew? For...

Glad to hear the second phase of the healing journey is underway. I was thinking of you on Wednesday past and hoping this part is not too uncomfortable.

Check this out - so many loops (forwards and backs) packed into a 2 minute video I am dizzy from watching!

RD:

You can do it! Just pull out our pirate swords (courage, strength and determination - you've got them all.) and prepare for battle! You can pop over sessions as cleanly as you can pop over waves!

If you don't mind could you email me a copy of this one to Tony(at)Terranea-Environmental(dot)com, Thanks! http://www.flickr.com/photos/64585307@N04/5881323315/in/set-72157627070242480 Glad you found one you like!

some great shots there, thanks, be in touch 8) Is it next summer yet? June seems like so long ago... Nice shots, C36! :idea: I just wanted to make sure that everyone who was down June 20-June 24 (The Law, Morewind, Fish, Winddoctor, Keen, Kus, Nanmoo, BWD, Russian Dude - hope I got everyone) knows ...

In looking back through my pictures I noticed that I had missed posting over 100 pictures from June 23 at Pistol River over at flickr. :oops: Some of those included in the 'missing' pictures are: > thelaw > morewind > fish > kus > bwd > russiandood To view the set, please click here . I hope there a...

:!: The purpose of this thread is a simple one - to offer encouragement to Russian Dood during his healing journey. To let him know that he is not walking this journey alone. :D :wink: Just got back from an oncologyst. The sentence is simple 6 weeks of radio plus few months on chemo. Sounds like a l...
