Last day ?

[argonaut]

Had a brilliant run out on Sunday morning ......... at 0745 launch, was the earliest I have ever put boat in the water.
Even empty parking spaces on teh road - so didn't have to pay to park

What amazing conditions .... less than 5mph wind, bright sunshine, cloudless sky .... we had 3 Hrs of the whole bay to ourselves ............ where have all the boaters gone ?

Not sure how many days are left this year .... but had a blast

That looks like fun this old bugga could enjoy

I bought it when knee damage stopped me riding a kneeboard.
It has a very steep learning curve ... esp when no one to learn from.
Described as learning to juggle, whilst riding a unicycle downhill, blindfolded.

No strength needed ... all about core & balance.

Imagine you are on a pivot.. any movement off centre and you fall ... and the pull is constantly changing, water forces changing, wind changing.
Any movement amplified by the 40" t-bar, the 2 foils react very quickly ... skyrocket you out of the water.

Once you get it right it feels so natural, it moves as part of you.

The 3 others on the boat been trying for 3 years ... and not get up yet.

If you want to give it a go- welcome to come and have a try.

[BruceK]

Mmmm. Maybe not. Core strength you say? With my spare tyre? Maybe it'll give me back that six pack I had when the Mrs and I first met and she fancied the socks off me, .... and other garments. Dang! What am I saying? Sign me up!!

6 pack! I'm more of a Party 7 (or two)

Amazing Rick, that should be an Olympic Sport.

Such delicate movements which involve muscle memory and when the line goes slack it's knowing when to stay slack or when to pull up, wow! Great video and tutorial, thank you.

As my mate put it ... who needs a 6 pack ... when you have a barrel.

If you look at around 46 sec into the clip I posted... you can see I end up with far too much slack ..... manage to recover ... and you can here amusement form guys in the boat.

surprised by your weather. So far this year the forum and Facebook have been full of people on that west coast area having fun whilst it seems the rest of us have not. Certainly up here on the east coast its been that way. the past 3 days have been loverly but with 20-25 mph winds & Im guessing no one else has had them. roll on 2017 HA !
