I had the pleasure to introduce Nick Stuart (Naish USA) to 3rd Avenue last Friday. It was really fun to spend time with him on and off the water.

I spent part of the week end visiting my very good friends Phil & Nat in Nantes (west of France). Besides the pleasure of sharing quality time with both of them and their lovely kids, I had the privilege to sail Phil's catamaran. It was really fun and quite exciting to do something different.
I also fortunately ended up the day by an unexpected session using his 12m (against all the locals forecast). The wind was light and onshore but what a pleasure to ride in France and to tease the locals...

If you know me well enough, try to find the 3 errors in this picture...

Last week, the wind has been quite light and funky at 3rd Avenue... Here is a short video of last Friday sesh on my 2009 Cult 12, trying to pull some tricks on my weakest side with a very light wind on the inside. Thanks to Dimi for the vids.

Crashing is part of the learning process... and I am paying my dues quite often!
