Post by Quetzalcoatl »

Yeah: I changed plans..I sailed out of Pepin Wisconsin for the West winds and West WAVES!

Well, It wasn't nuking wind and waves, but it was steady wind...steady 10 mph, just fine with a 10.8 LOft O2 sail and forumula board.

I was planning 100% of the time!!

I learned something: I wanted to ride done the face of those huge"two ft." high waves..but I kept speeding past them. Then I thought, If I stall or slow down a bit

then I can catch them. And that's what I did! When I saw a wave....then I'd slow down and wait for the wave to come to me...and then take it! And roller costar down the face and

speed off the wave!!

Ok, this is a simple story but where is yours? You got soemthin better to share?
