I was one shark and Scott Rowe was the other. I rigged my 4.2 sail and found that to be to big. I forget what Scott rigged but he came in just before I decided to rig my 3.8 sail. Scott got into his car to warm his body up, he only had a semi-drysuit so I trust he was semi-cold.

It’s around every three years or so I get to be on the water in the low 40’s wind so this fat boy likes the water conditions that wind speed brings. I did all I could to enjoy the overpowered conditions and I tried my best to stay dry for the couple hours of play.

Here are some memorable shots of me from 3.8 sail conditions on Lake Ontario.

 

See you next Gale

Sorry

I got mislead from a snapshot weather forecast on I windsurf regarding the temp.

I like the 40-50 degrees, the day off from work, and my new Kokatat warranty replacement suit.

Hope to ride tomorrow.

Joe,

My first board was Mistral also I had a Maui second board was also a Diamond Head. They both got me to where I am today. An answer to your question about Peter Britton “where is he today?” He sold the shop to Dan Scorza in the 90’s and went to work for Xerox.

I’ve seen him 3 times in the last 2 weeks I’ve come to find out he has moved just one street from me and yesterday he was out for a walk with his wife and I waved as he went by my house. He still sails from time to time. However more importantly he went to Hatteras for a long weekend with a bunch of other Rochester windsurfers last month to take kite boarding lessons.
