A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

I had a one hour window to sail.  It wasn't windy enough when I got to K Road, so I had to bag it, even though the forecast was for building winds, and the waves looked so nice.  As is my habit I asked Jeff to fill me in later on what I missed, so as to increase my jealousy.  Here's the report:

4.7 frontside DTL 2-3 bottom/top-turn rides on 4-6' waves, that's all you missed 🙂  Full powered at first, rode the 77L, then lulls (and a swim in the rinse zone) had me grabbing the 100L. At first, Scott & Frank were dragging their heels ("it's only 36F, I was expecting 40!" … "aw man, the sun just disappeared behind those clouds!" … "brrr, it's really cold!"), but once suited up and wave sailing, everyone was all smiles and plenty warm. Only thing holding us back from sailing another hour was our maxed out forearms. 

The flu kept Christian out of the ocean, but not from a bayside session. You'll have to get the report from him, though I do hope he's asleep and healing his weary self at this point.

 What else can I say but "oh man!"  Great for them though!
