Everybody wang chung today – except me. I don’t know what hurts more, the tattoo I got yesterday or not being able to be on the water today. Several years ago, I had lasik eye surgery and I went windsurfing the next day – at Cannon! Am I older and wiser or am I older wussy-err?

What does the tatoo say " Do not mix with water"

I think it's safe to say everybody wang chunged Friday at the Wack... well maybe not cuz I'll prolly get my butt kicked now for saying that! It was pretty nice tho, I just use the rub on tatoos!

I only got about 90 minutes yesterday at Waconia, but it ruled. Who can say enough good things about 25-30+ WSW at that lake. I got a chance to bust out the old 'roo 12m and have a blast. Something about the time limitation made it all the more precious. THanks Nate for the board rescue. I must be doing something wrong, 'cuz I'm like, 0-3 on that recently. Is it the huge life vest I'm wearing? Also, I've decided to wear a helmet more, as I hit the water with my head yesterday so hard that it ached, and I was wearing a helmet. Can you believe fall winds, with 75-80 temps out? I would be curious to hear from the veteran windsurfers out there how common that is.

For the first time I started really enjoying toe-side riding. Mostly it's been a chore that I force myself to do, but yesterday it became fun, with knees bent I was carving up and down them rollers, and I could hear a faint whisper of Dick Dale as I pretended to be a real surfer. Next will be the launch from toe-side.

It was so wrong, to be leaving the lake as it was crescendoing to a mind-bending wall of wind in the upper twenties to 30+ Later NWS charts revealed it blowing strong until 7 or 8 pm.
