I'm back! First day windsurfing in a long time. It is just like riding a bike. Not a beautiful ride, but I had a few good jibes and a good day ripping. I practiced chop-hopping. I only got inches, probably didn't clear the fin most of the time, but I am psyched because I felt very balanced, not like I usually do when jumping. So, I'm anxious to get on the bay again and try it with bigger waves. Mitchell got out for awhile, too. All the older boys went, though the other three just hung on the beach. It was a lot of fun.
