Aden at Windpower

Aden had his first windsurfing lesson at Windpower today. Kevin did a great job with him and Mary also helped Aden a lot at the end of the lesson.

US Nationals Friday update

We did four course races in A Fleet and Kona today. Formula fleet did 3 course races later in the day as the wind built to ~ 10-15 mph. I had opportunities to get bullets today, but Mark Boersma did a fantastic job closing out races, pulling past me in the last moments of R2 and R4 today (R6 and R8 overall). I need to impove on closing out races if I'm going to get any more bullets at this event ;) Bu it is great having strong competition. Andy Gratton sailed very fast today, usually the first around the windwark mark and also right in the mix in each race today.


Since Formula didn't start racing until after A Fleet was done, I quickly switched over to Formula gear to race with them. I didn't manage to switch fast enough to make their first start, but I did each of the next two races (R6 an R7 for them). I finished after Ron Kern and ahead of Guy Miller in each. It was fun racing Formula again since it has been several years since I have done an official race in that class. I was on my Starboard HWR, Severne Reflex2 11.0, and Finworks 70LT (thanks Dave Lassila - it is still working great!).


Tomorrow's forecast is for 20-30+ so more slalom is planned. Maybe some course racing if conditions don't meet the forecast.

Registration day at Nationals

We got to Worthington this afternoon. Got gear out of the trailer, helped with RC stuff, and setup camp. Camping across the beach in a friendly neighbors side yard.

Wind should be in the teens tomorrow - good for course racing. 20-30 mph winds forecast for day2 (thurs) so should be a fun start to the event.
