Sometimes when you do a windsurfing move just right, you’re so surprised to be in that perfect place, you jump off the board and into the water!

I’m working on tacking faster—getting to the other side of the board while I’m still on a plane. Saturday, twice, I got onto the lee side, on a plane, I was on the board, holding the booms, the sail was in the right place. Everything was good, and I just jumped off. This happened twice!

Sunday’s graph looks good, but I had no success with any of my moves. The wind was skitzy and I was a little underpowered. Last time I rode the 4.6 Bash on the 94 liter FSW I was underpowered and able to do all kinds of things, so I had high hopes going out.

Much better success windsurfing on Monday.

Tuesday was windsurfing trick day—lots of light air moves. I had orchestra rehearsal, so I couldn’t stay late and catch the real wind after 5pm.
