Happy Mothers Day!

We had some fun Sunday morning making this iphone 'Trailer' with the kids. It's a bit cheesy but what the heck.

Another great windsurfing weekend with good friends including a 4.0 Bay session, 4.8 dawn session in scary onshore waves and some Bird Island frivolities thrown in too.

Spring Sprang

For a brief couple of weekends, then it got a bit cold, it rained and the wind disappeared.

But let me tell you about one session in Corpus bay. It was TOO MUCH FUN! Fully powered on 4.4, with nice steep ramps. I went for a couple of backies but after over-rotating onto my back I decided I was actually trying pushies instead. Psyched!! PUSHIES!! I guess if we had days like that all the time, they wouldn't be so special.

Then the week after we got a fun sesh at Port A with over a dozen people on the water. Small waves but nice 4.4 wind. Enes and Olivier were going for Takas and Julie got one of Oliviers attempts on tape:

Those guys rip. She also captured me boosting an endo. Watch it with sound, it's funny. :-)

Oh and during one of the many windless moments, I ordered another board. It's like we were made for each other, I was just in denial for the last few years. Fingers crossed my KT83 will arrive before the late season cold front that we all deserve.

I have a windsurfing blog! Blame the lack of: media, adventure, wind, waves...

Two weeks back I eeked out a fun 5.2 sesh at South Packery and my wonderful wife took some video. Cheeky little top turn:

This hurt like heck:

Then last week the best Boca Chica forecast ever started to take shape. 30mph NNW wind, 10 ft waves and 50F temperatures. Friday afternoon, Enes concurred, Julie and the kids packed their weekend bags and we were committed to the 400 mile trek south.

What a forecast! Boca Chica is just under (SE of) Brownsville

We rolled up at the beach to lashing rain, 39F temperatures and offshore WNW winds. Disaster! Deciding to give it a shot anyway we kitted up, donning every available form of neoprene clothing. Getting in the water the cold permeated every extremity. I have never felt so cold.

If only O'Neil made these in neoprene!!!

We ended up sailing back and forth in the knee high shorebreak. Enes:

Was it worth it? Course it was!! :-)
