I'm a goal-orientated person. I like to have something to aspire to in a season
This summer I will:
1. Crack a 22kt alpha
2. Get more confident with my jumps. (I can do them, but awkwardly)
3. Do a sweet duck gybe (I have before, but lost my mojo!)
That list will seem trivial to many sailors, but if I manage them, I've become a better sailor.
So what do you want to do this season?
Wouldn't mind a 35 knts PB, I seem stuck at 33/34...
A couple of racing gybes would satisfy me also !
Good topic,
My aims this year,
master quick tacks, so close!
Jump more, no fear
Wave sail more, some fear
....try some freestyle (just bought a freestyle board so better at least give it a go!)
I'm going to try and sail at least 3 times a week.....hopefully that will make me a better sailor
Crack 30 knots.
Get comfy with gybes- on both tacks. Currently suck on either side, but make 80 percent in a wobbly kind of fashion.
Jump like Evil Knievel (without the crashing) across ocean swells and waves.
Get comfy wave sailing cross-onshore. Fine cross off, suck opening the sail on top turns.
Buy a slalom board.
Buy a dedicated wave board with heaps of fins around 90 litre.
Learn to chop hop on flat lakes.
Do some fast up-wind 360's
And most importantly have heaps of fun! So far, that bit I'm good at
Goals are definatly great to have.
Four goals for me:
-Head back to Lake George.
-Improve my alpha PB
-45knot 2sec
-Land a frontloop wave sailing
For me this summer
have 10,000 k's TOW
25 alpha
27 hour
40 ten sec av.
sail in the waves more.
Oh and fly past any young Tassies that come to my home pond .
I'm giving duckies a crack this summer. Hope to see you at Boggy this summer Shane 
Must crack 30knots 2sec by 30 March 2013 otherwise all my gear goes to inverloch windsurfing club .
No joke !
Gpstc , Ant at Connearre cremasters
Be able to consistently gybe in chop on all 3 of my boards ( yeah right) preferably with the occasional planing exit in flatter areas..Get my jumps going on both tacks with tail pulled to windward in air & hang under and nose first landings..my shoulder is telling me that ones not on track..
Stay fit enough to sail and enjoy it..Try & get out twice a week.
Enjoy the journey & don't get [}:)] when I stack it..
compete in my first windsurfing event. check!
30 knot 2 sec
planing gybe & more consistent gybing
