PSA for Van Pugh Windsurfers

The cement ramp near the waters edge is really slick.

This is not to be confused with;
Slick
Kinda slick
Rather slick
"Yeah I know, it was slick last year also"

This IS the kind of slick that will have you on your back or hip before you can say "Oh Shi..

I was being careful and I still landed on back and forearm

I will bring a stiff brush or broom next time and try and make it better

Seriously, Super slick

I saw a couple people lose it there a few weeks ago.
Seems like it’s slickest right where the water laps the concrete.

Did you hurt anything other than your pride?

Mainly just pride.

It is slick about 12"-18" or so above the waterline.
I have slipped every year but usually maintain enough traction that my legs do not fly out from underneath me. This time it might as well have been ice.

As I was bringing the board out of the water a good friend reached to keep my sail from touching the rocks and he also fell victim to the slime.

It would be easy to break a wrist or elbow. Luckily, I did neither.

Or worse, your foil wing.
