One of the serendipitous wonders of Facebook is discovering connections between your friends that you didn't know existed. Last week when I posted a photo from a sesh at Ponquogue with Jonathan Ford, a former employee named Kelly piped in: "Hilarious. I went to high school in Hong Kong with Jon Ford. He was legendary for running out of class to hit the waves whenever a typhoon was coming!"
That sounds about right for Jon. It also helps explain why, in 1996 when I had a used 4.7 shipped to my office, Kelly asked me to unroll it on the floor so she could see (if you think a 4.7 is a small sail, try laying one out in office space.)
But I digress. Jon skipped class for conditions. Don't tell Nicholas!
