“The unaimed arrow never misses.”
That bit of new-age babble can be found on a postcard of otherwise pretty cool sayings called “Maui Rules” that’s glued to the roof of my van (best rule: “Speak softly and wear a loud shirt.”) I bring it up because I’ve decided not to have a list of resolutions for my 2011 windsurfing year. Or SUPing year for that matter. For four years I’ve made resolution lists. For four years I’ve been able to check some items off while failing to achieve others. For four years there has been no corrolation between my efforts and results…it’s almost entirely come down to conditions (ie “I’m going to duck tack” doesn’t have much of a chance when I sail three flatwater days for the year.) Conditions, and I’m a slow learner. So for 2011 I’m not saying anything beyond I’m aiming for a good year.
