Grubby Quest

Yesterday was one of these days but I did manage to sneak in five grubby attempts. I was sailing around thinking I should try some. But Brian wasn't there, the sun was too bright, the clouds too cloudy, the water too brown, flat, choppy, salty... you know how it is.

Finally I decided to pull out my finger and gave one a shot. Guess what? It didn't hurt (too much), so I tried a few more. Fingers crossed for a bit more today. You just never know.  

The Powerglide

Our first ever board, bought 9 years ago. Once in a while when it's a bit light, like yesterday at Bird, I pull it out and take it for a spin. It still planes in nothing and rips the gybes. I love it.

Time for Change

Texas wave sailing season is drawing to a close and it's time to pull out the freestyle board again. It's also time to start taking it to the next level. When I learned to vulcan, I would try 50 times a day, same with spocks. I want to willy skipper, grubby and flaka but how many times have I tried any of these moves? Like 5, ever.

So I had an epiphany yesterday, the secret to learning to grubby? Try grubbys!!!

This is grubby weekend. Spocks are banned, right Brian!? At least 10 grubby attempts per session.

Now, how do you grubby again..?
