What do you do when oncoming ramps are five feet apart (and of course the good one is never first)? Today on the Little Peconic the psychochop made windsurfing an excercise in having your bones rattled, as Slo, Sally and I tried to make the best of 18-20 knots. I tried pre-jumping early ramps to get better position for the steeper chop, but there just weren’t enough fractions of a second to really wind up the board. At least Slo had the maiden voyage of his new Fanatic Skate. We were sailing about an hour after low tide, with the incoming tide moving against the wind.
After 90 minutes, Sally and I headed to Mecox. I’d like to try the Little Peconic launching from Bittersweet Lane and see if the chop is more organized on southwest winds. If it isn’t, then South Jamesport is top of the list.
