The song for today is " the same Auld Lang Syne":
Hello again. It seems that the thing to do this time of year on windsurfing-related blogs is to list windsurfing-related New Year's resolutions, so here goes:
1. arrange life to allow for MUCH more windsurfing time
2. continue working on planing jibes
3. work on achieving higher maximum velocities on sail-powered, water-borne craft
4. probably number 3 could come before number 2
5. sail more
6. attempt more planing jibes correction, make planing jibes. As the great philosopher Yoda once stated: "Do, or not do. There is no try"
7. sail later into the fall, and earlier in the spring to allow for use of Puffin-supplied (well, acquired from Puffin at any rate) 85l board.
8. be more outgoing at the beach and ask for more help and advice
9. sail in waves - I did it once in 09 at Crab and had a blast. I know they weren't huge waves and the wind wasn't that strong, but it was too much fun. Perhaps the best part was that one of the lifeguards that saw me is a student at the school that I teach at and told all his friends (most of whom are my students this year) that I am a "really good" (sic) windsurfer. good times as previously chronicled.
10. get the WHOLE fin to clear the water when making "jumps".
