Why Opposite End Windsurfing?

Long Island, NY
I really,really like to windsurf. It is my favorite thing to do, except for teaching kids about physics, that is. The only problem is that I am not so great at windsurfing, at least right now. Several people in my area have created windsurfing blogs, but they are really, really good at windsurfing (and not too shabby at blogging). So, I've decided to give a perspective from the opposite end of the windsurfing skill spectrum, hence the name Opposite End Windsurfing for my blog. In it, I will share the experiences of someone who is trying to become a really good windsurfer.

1st Windsurfing Video

So, here it is, my first, unedited (sorry) windsurf video made with the HD Hero cam.
It was a real light air day last Sunday (8/22/10) and it was my first time on the Pacer in about a  year.
I just used the Prisma 7.5 as I didn't know if I could handle the Pacer 9.5 at this point. I am now sure that I can. I found out the Prisma has a broken bottom batten which is why you see all the wrinkles in the bottom part of the sail.

I know, I know, some tacks and jibes aren't too good. Sorry, I will work on that.

Well, hope you like it, even if it is kind of long and boring.

    89 successful tacks and jibes and both directions - nice work Joe Satriani!
