Hawaiian showers…

If you've been there, you know what I am talking about         

It’s not a secret, Fredstem likes to flirt.

 

Here he is flirting with the mud...

                              
 

 

Love fest at Third

The usual kite dance started with a Southwest ‘twist',

some ‘hit the floor', and then lost their partner (board) . Steve took some height to survey the situation, spotted the disunited couple, bought some Karma points retrieving the lost board . Then fighting the flood with style, helped with his latest Cabrinha, ,

he, after a kite‘Chassé-croisé ballet'
delivered the board to Fred doing the ‘Swing' by himself.

I can't say it was love at first sight but they did embrace.

                           

 

 

Another day out of the office…

 

 

From the tarmac to the air,

lots of take off , cruising

and even fighting for pole position

A close look at the ‘race' bridal of the Genetrix Hydra V3f

And finally some ukulele tones from Mike to mellow down.

First windsurfing day for 2008

Jerry   said "Clearing winds Sunday, load your gear"!   I did  and went early to enjoy the end of the ebb and avoid the long mud walk 

The 330 direction made it weird at first but when it clocked a bit I was fun to go down the swells again.

Here is a smile from a happy camper who came to give me company in the channel, I never saw him !!

 I had followed Steve 5.2, 94L down the ramp and he planed right out shooting for Oakland.  On 73L,  I pumped like mad leaving a lot of energy in my trail, _did you know windsurfing is a cardio exercise_, and was heading straight for the bridge

Fortunately, the wind cranked up and I made it up with room to spare.

 

 

 

It was so windy that…..

The tanker was going on a plane

 

Of course the usual suspects where around

Time change

Just in time for the longer days a nice windy Saturday at 3rd Ave.

Not having my personal paparazzi I can't show you my ‘signature' turn, you'll have to take my word for it. But I have a usual suspect in my modest lens, the Master himself sucking flies
