Yikes! It’s been a pretty long time since I posted, so here’s a quick recap:
1. It was super windy.
2. It was super warm.
3. The shop was super busy.
There ya have it! Here are a bunch of random pictures from the last few weeks:

There were many, many GREAT windsurfing sessions this spring. So many, in fact, that I really started to get tired. My body was just getting beat up from overuse. About a week ago, I was on my 3.7 again and kind of barely powered in the lulls. I was getting frustrated at the lack of power, which is pretty ludicrous, because I was comfortably planing on a freaking 3.7. Who complains about that? Anyway, just in the nick of time, before I gave up for good, the sun popped out below the clouds and illuminated the whole scene in a reddish golden light. I was instantly, completely rejuvenated, by the simple presence of sunlight. Amazing! Check it:

Cool! Well, you’re all caught up now! Come on out and join us for some fun. Looks like a few days of NE winds are upon us, and we have some great new free-ride boards to try out, like the Tabou Rocket 135 and the RRD Fireride 125. Hope to see you out there!

Great pic's!
Looking forward to comparing the Fire-rides to my Rocket.
What a guy has to do to get his face in the magazine! Love the ride on the RRD. Looking forward to many more. Thanks for all you do for the windsurfers and other waterpersons.
Have a great wedding and good luck with the business.
