below- a 3.3 day Hatteras, late 90's It was so windy that week I had to rent that 3.3 sail and the 8.4 glass Fox board. I literally didn�t own gear small enough to sail in those conditions. photo Lauralee

Below - LI Sound 02-03 season This is most likely CIB. Most of my sailing nowadays takes place with a full wetsuit. We just don�t get a lot of wind around here during the summer.

The thing about windsurfing, is that when it is windy enough to windsurf� you want to windsurf. Not take pictures. Early on in my relationship with my wife, she was quite content to stand around waiting to snap photos of my windsurfing. More recently, she would rather just windsurf herself. Though she has been known on occasion to contently sit inside the van for 3 hour clips, while I sail my brains out in 30 degree air and water temperatures. Most of the photos are from a few years back. Phil�s site H2OMEN.com has more recent photos, as does Steve�s and Ely�s.
