FUN day. ME, Joe, and Alissa out at first and about 5 kites and 3 jet skies. I had to ditch my gear to keep from getting run over once. The Jet ski came within 3 feet of me in the waves. He was going striaght out and I am not sure if he even saw me his head was turned the other way talking to the girl on the back. I did not see him through my sail. I do not think the driver understood what a windsurfer can and cannot do. Took the fin to my calf and that realy hurt. Did not let it ruin my day. Had a great time. Wind just kept building. I should have came in and rigged down but just stayed on the 5.3 over powered. 4 more windsurfers came out late. Not as many swimmers and all the surfers were up close to the jetty. Maybe our summer wind has started!!!!!!!
