Me too. Early at Shearwater. Hopefully there will be some cruiser wakes from the boat show to jump. Or could just stand around for 4 hours......

'Twas good.

Broken:
- 5.7 (Mast through top of mast sleeve)
- Then downhaul line (hmm, too much downhaul?)
- Then bootie.

Rmember your old Kaos? it is no more.

Gybe, flipped rig and "Pop!". Took me a bit to figure out what happened to all the downhaul. Mast now sticking out top of mast sleeve.

Luckily ordered some new gear just last week : )

i think you'll enjoy the upgrade none the less. that old kaos didn't have the draft of the newer models.

it was good for higher winds though.

Actually yesterday was the first time I've felt like I could just sail non-stop all day. Gybe after gybe, got into a really nice, relaxed rythm. So glad I rigged up and waited.

Finally feel like I'm getting somewhere

Wow, hc nice photos. Yes ep, you look like a champ! Man, I'm so jealous; have a bad eye infection. Windsurfing highly prohibited :(

Glad that all of you had so much fun. I'll join you next time again.

not only a great sailor and photographer but a generous one as well.

for the record its not possible to take a hand off the boom to grab the rail when jumping while unhooked with any expectation of a positive outcome.
