It's summer. So while I've been windsurfing, it has been mostly thermals at Hecksher. And mostly big sails: 6.5 and up. But it has been windsurfing. And so while some of you might not think it's "worth it" to rig a 7.0, and a 120 ltr board, I am fine with it. Ironically, the few times I've been out on Segue, it's been during a late day back door cold front. You know the kind...where it's so gusty you would never be able to choose a sail size. One minute it's a soft 10 knot breeze; the next it's gusting to 35: yea that kind. Here are some pics our ace camera man Gary Cohen took of me one of those sails. Oh yea I busted a winch too, but we'll talk about that another day.
