Here he comes

Walkin' down the beach

Everyone one on beam reach…

Hey hey it's a wind chimp!   Specifically it's Ponquogue Jeff (nee Peconic Jeff) walking along Ponquogue proper, and flashing his latest style…that scarf.   Word is it was due to the lack of a hood (next time I'm going to lend him a hood).  Looks great!  I wonder what happens if it gets caught in gear, in the wash.  
Jeff fullOn perhaps my very first day windsurfing I put my downhaul tool (which was attached to a loop of line) around my neck.  I was immediately advised not to do that.  Jeff is much better than a never ever windsurfed type, but waves is waves.  In any event, he sure looks good!

    Well, it seems like a lot of fashion trends come from NYC. (Some come from MI – http://miwindsurfing.com/forum/topics/fanging-it)
    Expect by next season we’ll see Neil Pryde windsurfing scarfs.

    ha for me it was more function than fashion. Hat was toasty warm, and the scarf portion didn’t get in my way, though you make a fair safety point. Thanks to Ponquogue “surf momma” Paula for the hat, btw.
    Brian, I like the mouthguard fang trend coming out of MI. I had one a few years ago that was supposed to increase oxygen. It has since found its way to the bottom of Tiana Bay. Need to get a new one. Replacing teeth is expensive!
