Just a reminder: We've taken a poll among windsurfers and sailboarders and the consensus is: POLEBOARDING RULES!!!! Gonna strap mine on the rack & head for d'BEAR. CU/H2O JRN(I'm not really Polish)

It seemed like the wind picked up again after I left at 5. Did I miss anything?

very gusty today making it difficult to get dialed. rigged a 15, then a 12, then a 9, rode the 9 then a 12, then a 15. up and down, challenging conditions. good turn out, good fun.

white balance or something is still off on my camera so I had tweaked the pics a bit-some too much as well as zoom in ! they look better on my computer, ...Dave thanks for taking some shots. I had to explain to my wife that I did not take all of them.

Props to Dave (Ice-Man). Wow, you've really progressed! Nice pics, Kurt:
Great shot of my best bud Pete windsurfing. Fun to see the Winter and
Wahlstrom aerobatics show, and to catch up with everyone after a loooong
winter. Lotsa sessions to come...JN

Great day at the races. I learned that a 12 m waroo congeals into an ugly shape when a massive, turbulent gust rolls in (30mph + is my estimate). Overall I thought the day was too gusty to really sink my teeth into. Having said that I did ride for several hours, had a blast and was very grateful for the wind in whatever form it came. But aside from the gusts it was just a great, warm day at Ramsey and the wind folk mostly had the lake to ourselves. Great to see everybody out.
