I will be at Old Fed after lunch on Saturday desperately working on waterstarting so that one day I can sail at VP without worrying if the session is going to a one way trip to Aqualand
Because we love you and Old Federal is a pissy place to windsurf.
I really like Sam Ross's version. Imprint his body position in your mind. Low with extended arms. Don't be in a rush to stand up.

I plan to sail at Van Pugh Saturday afternoon. Warm wind in the forecast!!!

Van Pugh, after lunch. Have to thank my colleague for the videos. Actually learned a couple things after all these years.
Best hint: when you fall, do it in shallow water at a nice resort in Spain, Greece or Red Sea and not 55 degree Lanier...
I'm going to Old Federal after lunch but may end up at Van Pugh depending on the amount of wind.

May your water be smooth and your winds be swift.
It must've been pretty good… I stayed out for four hours

I had a good time. I really appreciated Chris P. helping me try to waterstart. Sailed from about 1:30 to closing time

Funny guy. Shame his health caught up with him.

Chris is really getting it nailed. Chris and I rigged smaller 6.5 and 6.0 and had a blast in the flatter water all the way across.
I stayed OUT for 4 hours... not UP
