Galt's report: Sailed from about 2:00-4:30 with Al and Patrick. I was on a 6.5 and had several planning runs with quite a bit of slogging in between, typical Galts on NW. Al was on a 6.0 and Patrick on a 7.5. My 9.0 would probabaly been a better choice.
The demo day was well worth the trip. The wind was up and sailing fresh new model boards and rigs all day was a great perk too. My sail/board of choice for the day was a Sailworks Retro 6.5 on the Go 139. I tried many different boards from the Starboard line and the Go had a nice fun factor for my intermediate/novice sailing skill level. The F-type required some more dialing in on my technique than time and energy levels allowed for. I also sailed the Rio, which seemed like a really good entry-level or family board.
Hi Gene, I thought you would be at the demo today.
I'll be at VP after 1 pm.

I'll be at Galt's today, in case any of the Allatoona crowd was thinking about coming out. Be there about 1:30-2:00.
