Abundant libations to Skiron from Team Dawg, plus lots of wind wishes produced a major birthday party. Fully downhauled 4.2 for my 190# is a lot of wind!

The Grind
I asked RRD rider Sofien Sehiri to show some vulcans this Tuesday. There was very little wind, I am amazed he planed at all. (Clip that can be scrubbed frame-by-frame, with the full set of moves, is here – download and use a desktop video player).
Spring on the March!
War-at-sea gusty, sweet rolling swell rides on the outside. 4.7/84L wave. Then quite holey for my kit – I quit after persevering for 40 minutes. Bloody cold, too. This is an official kick-off, though – get your sails from your attic or the season will end too soon!

Reach for the Sky!
Seeing on WRAMS a promise of improbable winds at this time of year, I promptly took a day off. Although 30kt average did not materialize, I was able to sail my 84L wave (and tack it twice). Never mind his messed up ankle, Kevin Kan delivered quite a performance. Team Crushpad (Dave) showed Aaron a thing or two about catapults
