Not good. https://www.eastendbeacon.com/ponquogue-bridge-closed-for-inspection-by-engineers/

The blame primarily belongs with Christian. Watching people wingfoil never hooked me. Conversations with the great instructors Dasher and Andy Brandt didn't move me past trying it once a couple years ago. That friends were picking it up was fine with me, but I wasn't drawn in. Then Christian called last week and…
