Tuesday was two for two.

Double session, double crash, double relaunch and double..

Here is the Master showing his skills.

Yep, it looked like a standard windsurfing day until we hit the water when we schlogged to find nothing.  Then plan B worked to perfection.  I pumped up the kite.  While in process Bob flagged me to notice the wind resurging.  I bagged the kite and jumped on the 5.0 82L cooling in the shade for a very good lasting session.

I was with Mike and Garrett and it was quite a show ;-)

Jumps, laydown jibes and surf.

A good day  and my easier kite trick on the knees 

Palo Alto came alive and everyone got a work out either OP and /or over volume.

The word from the day before was strong flood so even Peter rigged 5.2   I was on 5.5 and dusted off my old race board to face the flood as I did not want to end in Alviso.  Boy what a ride did I get on the Mike’s Lab zooming upwind catching everyone.  I have to give it to Steve, he was the toughest to pass and was pointing very high on a much smaller fin.  There is no chance that I could board an airliner with my 16” dagger

Pat and Diane were filming another episode of “The ducky”, Tim was doing donuts and I had a miserable time to finish jibing the unleashed beast (M Slab).

Because of the time constraint and crowded dock I elected to beach myself to rerig the 5.5.  Never put so much download before.

Coming out of the swamp, I had a tough time to fight to shore break...YES the SHORE BREAK at Palo Alto:  wind, chop, flood, mud and vegetation.

I think my 82 Liters with 5.0 would have worked and I would have enjoyed the numerous ramps but I would have covered half the mileage.
