Another Round of Wind
Now that the "season" has started, Florida has become a darn good place for windsurfing again. Tuesday had about 20 knots sideshore at the Fort Pierce South Jetty, perfect for a 5.5 msq sail and my 83 liter waveboard. As usual, I was the only windsurfer amongst a bunch of kiters. I really don't feel the need to kite in strong winds like this, because I think windsurfing on small gear is plenty fun and challenging. I need to learn some new moves, though, to spice up the GoPro videos, if nothing else.

As Robby said, after having mastered kiteboarding, "nothing can quite match a good windsurfing day". But don't let the kiters know!
ReplyDeleteGood winds over there.
Neat video! I bow to your skills! Good choice of music too.
