Re: Where and when are you surfing tomorrow Friday?
I'm planning to go to Lake Byllesby just outside of Cannon Falls. You can see a map of it in the 'lakes' section of this website. ETA...noon. East end of the lake, must drive past the campground to get to the launch if you have never been there before.

Re: What color is your helmet?
Thanks for the clarification Quetzalcoatl. I was envisioning wind loving folk out on the water just struggling to keep their heads up due to neck muscles slightly more robust than a slinky. Most of my mast hits have come from above while clearing the sail in generous winds. Love hearing the "ti...
