M.R. spot a ramp down just wind from you, not out in front, hit that one instead,,,,,,,,,, POP!

Mastbender,

Done that many times and it's lots of fun. I call that "Bunny Hopping". One time I was doing that and landed wrong and almost catapulted. The board landed on the rail instead of landing flat.

1 - Pretty much what has been said already except the double Asian massage.

2 - More PB's

3 - Less time looking at my GPS during sailing.

As Cammd proposes, to get more kids into windsurfing, they are the future of this awesome sport.

And for myself, to continue spending as much time on the water as possible, and to re-learn freestyle maneuvers without tearing off my distal biceps tendon.

Y'know Richard Nixon saw Deep Throat 4 times before he got it down Pat.....I digress....

go up wind higher & faster, go down wind deeper & faster, so I can start a second lap on a race course before the first guy does two!!!

To remove the "thinking/over analysing" aspect of windsurfing and replace it with the actual "doing" part

Yup... After a 16 year break I've had two lessons in a month and hope, by the end of the year, to have reached the relatively low standards I left behind all those years ago.... or even have developed beyond them. This is the year of actually windsurfing, rather than saying I am going to get back into Windsurfing.....

Leave work early on a Wednesday (only day I don't have to pick up the kids) and sail mid week.

Buy a hyrdofoil.

Drink more pinot noir.

Break something going too fast (preferably not a bone, but OK if it has to be that).

Enjoy more TOW with mates.

Tell more bull** stories about how high I jumped.

Drink more single malt.

Meet that lady by the pool.

Sail more places.

Break 30kts.

Sail Inverloch more.

stop fooling myself into thinking it's worth driving 2.5 hours every time I want to go windsurfing!

And get more days on the water.
