Freestyle does not even closely resemble whatever it is I do on a board. But I sure am glad that there are guys and girls doing it. I have friends that do. And I am thankful that they do.
Because when they do...we ALL benefit.
This is how the sport grows.
This is why the sport grows.
This is why we make leaps and bounds in gear construction, and usability.
This is fun. [Yea...remember, fun?]
Remember back 20 or 30 years ago when Windsurfing had no rules? I do. It was great.
Just go out; in anything; on anything; in any conditions.
Sail is too small...so what? Too big...so what? How about your board; your fin...so what?
just go out and have fun.
I remember theses days of waiting around for it to be windy enough.
Waiting around so we could use our small board; our small sail...guess what?
They sucked.
There are boards that can get you an a plane in 8 knots.
There are boards that get you on the water in sub-planing conditions.
There are 90 ltr boards and 5.0 sails with 4 inch finds that will plane earlier than your old 120 Ltr beast, with the 7.0 sail, and the two foot pointer.
So just get out there guys.
Have Fun.
All great moves started out as mistakes.
Don't be afraid to try anything.
And remember to laugh when you fall.
