Vanns 7:45am - light breeze, empty lake, empty parking. I guess I will rig the 8.0 and do a few laps before the slackers arrive ?

It did not take long for the slackers to fill up the front row.

Great turnout and fun day

I wingfoiled 4.5 at Galts, While overpowered at times I had more flights than crashes. Haizer Windfoiled 5.7 got good rides and was happy he came as well. Great day for both of us! By noon the parking lot seemed full.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

3 Days in a row of good sailing! And today was the best of the three, with Gilmer reporting 17 G31 mph at 10:50AM, and the NE wind continued to blow all day. Shorty after I arrived at 9:45AM the parking lot at our launch filled up.

It was good to see kiters, wind-foilers, windsurfers and wingers all having a good time.

Thanks Langdon! I am living proof that, if you’re stubborn and lazy long enough, you can get used to doing crazy stuff - like trying to hang on to an 8m when your buddies are flying with 5 or smaller- even with very limited skill like I have ?

PS:Or you try to quit and sell all your sh.t , nobody is interested in them, so you say ‘I guess I am stuck with this craziness that people call a sport’ ??
