Re: gear tips?


Wow Ellen, no one would ever guess you were that old. I guess the
windsurfing keeps you young.
I'll bet your husband buys you gear, huh ;*). I always find it a little
comical when young guys talk about
how they'll never have old ways. The only way that happens if they die
young, and goodness knows
all my classmates expected me to do so.

While I haven't given up learning, I do find that for my body to learn new
motions takes just about
10 X what it took when I was 20. Fortunately, I still seem to be able to
take in new nophysical input
at about the same rate as I did when I was 20. So I compensate with
analysis, it ain't great, but it's
better than rotting on the couch (which I'm doing right now). ;*)

Anyway, it's great to be alive, and able to enjoy such a dynamic sport no
matter how you do it.
I'll continue until I can't, and then continue a little longer.

sure due to age fog.

Well. let's just say that I've been windsurfing since 1980, and have
been through quite a bit of it all myself, and I'm a tad older than
