RHS Jr Varsity Windskate Team

Randy and I went to Roswell High School today for a little Windskating.

I sped up the video a bit to make it watchable, though Randy’s parts are closer to reality Smile

Re: RHS Jr Varsity Windskate Team

A fun day for sure. Thanks for finding the jibe I made. We could have gone faster if we didn't have to watch out for the cars coming in to see the varsity wrestling meet. Apparently, school can be done virtually, but wresting is in person. Anyway, we both stayed dry so I guess we failed to "man up."

Randy, how does the inflatable sail work for windsurfing?

Better than you would think. It's not a performance sail, but it is easy and fun. If it looks like a subplaning it's the sail I normally use. Sail tricks, duck jibes, heli-tacks, duck tacks, sail 360's, and the like are really easy. You can uphaul it with one finger. It's as quick as anything in light wind. Like everything else in windsurfing if depends on who is sailing and where. Some guys can plane with it, others can foil. Probably not me. Lol

Thanks - something to think about. The sail seems to be intermediate step between wing surfing and windsurfing without the problem of holding the wind over your head. Love the scenes of warm tropical water.
