I love windsurfing. It is just the most fantastic, challenging, exhilarating sport. Love it.

The windy season has definitely come to an end here in Coffs Harbour. Been crap lately. But Looking back over the 12 months since I started learning I am quite proud of the progress I have made. I have also dragged my brother and step sons into the fold as well and we have all gone from relative beginners to planing, foot straps, water starts etc (almost in the case of Mr 14 year old).

I have gone from Uphauling and falling in repeatedly on my funster 145 to blasting in the harness and footstraps on 130 Lt RS6. I have learned to water start. I have been forced to sail in waves and swell and to ignore dark shapes in water; Thanks to PhilSWR :)

I have learned how to hang on for dear life in crazy wind and survive near out of control disaster and laugh about it later. I have tried to hang on for dear life in crazy wind and catapulted and laughed about it later :)

I love that I have found a passion and something that drives me to exercise, to test my self against the elements, and improve.
