Adylett Blasting
Got out Saturday at Adylett NC, at Billy Mckindreys place. It was Nuking all day, which meant i got the chance to sail on my newly acquired f2 ride 277 board, and 5.0 sail. This was my first real sesh on a 100l board, and i pretty much sailed all day. I had trouble jibing the board because I am not used to such a narrow board. I only ended up hitting 3 jibes the entire day, but thats better than none. I did get my water starting down pretty good though, considering i went in the water almost every single time i jibed. I also got a chance to work on my jumps, I don't think i got anymore than 3 feet of air, but I did learn to land them with out spinning out. When i jump, i used to spin out everytime, but after saturday I was able to learn to land the board down wind which prevented the spin out. I am still going to spin out some probably, but i am learning. I understand now why everyone likes sailing smaller stuff so much better the board was so much more controlable than my 130l board. I am looking forward to getting some more practice on it so i can hit my jibes, i'm working up to being able to sail in the big bay swell on the windy days.

Welcome back... I wondered if you had given up on the blog. Just happened to check it today. Now your back on my list.
I thought my wind and work curse was bad... I'll take it over the destroyed gear curse anyday.
lol, ya im back. I worked hard over the summer and didn't have the time to windsurf or the energy to write blogs. I've noticed a lot of people forgot about me because i haven't written in a long time. Oh well. Thanks for checking back
Okay well a few more years have gone by and now I'm curious...will you be posting in 2011? More important to windsurf than to blog about it, but doing both is not a bad way to spend some time!
