Happy Memorial Day

Windy Memorial day in Deleware in the greatest country God put on the Earth.
Leave the wetsuit at home boys. I sailed in board shorts today at Tower Road.
Sailed both my Gem with the 6.5 V8, and my 5.8 with the RRD.
Also worked on my pre rotation training. Hit some jumps and looked back while in flight. Its a very liberating sensation, I think because you have to be totaly dialed to look back, so its a cool feeling.


Took a spin on my race gear:

Gem of a forecast for Memorial Day!

Lewes Weather Forecast and Conditions Delaware




But there is no wind today. Enough maybe for skate sesh up at Milford High School later today. So this morning I tended to the Gear. My ride on Bob Ramsey's Hypersonic yesterday has re-energized my need for speed, so rigged the 6.5 V8 out in the front yard. I wasn't happy with the way it felt a few weeks ago so i rigged, washed, and played with the settings a little.
Boy that thing needs a lot of downhaul.

Also moved the front straps one notch in. I know you need to be on the rail as much as possible when riding slalom, but i prefer them not quite so far out.

Strong Southerlies in forecast....

Today the wind was N-NW in the mid teens, with gusts to upper teens. Mostly putted around in the baby pool today. Good practice on the transitions, did more schlogging than planing, but was still awesome to be on the water with the sun out. Rigged my 5.8 and RRD. I was patheic with the heli-tacks today. Didn't come close on a single one.



Then Bob Ramsey let me take his Starboard HyperSonic out for a spin. Scaaaaaarryyy. You don't sail that board, it sails you. If the straps where any further out on the rail, you be in the water. Once that board hops on a plane, its like a freight train locked in to the rail tracks, and just hold on. Goes up wind like nothing I've ever experienced before.





Forecast is for strong SSW wind on monday afternoon. Unfortunately, its Memorial day so the beach traffic will no doubt be very heavy. We may stay thru monday night, and drive into work tuesday morning, from Deleware.
