Yeah that's me alright..

You've gotta love those gusty north winds at Point Ormond..at least they were usually a warm wind.

I never knew that pic was taken..Who took it?

Looks like I'm getting ready to jibe.

I wonder if this pic was on the same day?

Thanks, I really appreciate that comment.. ..but then the standard was not that high..

After all these years of windsurfing I have very few pics of myself..That's never really bothered me but as you get older it is nice to look back and remember the good old days..

Don't worry about posting windsurfing pics..It's only Brooko that won't like it..

Oh yeah..Arthur...He's still down there all the time..He's a nice guy..The snoopy has come off his sail now I think..I saw him just the other day.

He was standing on the end of the rocks on the groin taking some pics (last year I think cos I just noticed my new harness) and took this pic of me.

BTW..Re the old gear..I finally bought a new board (second hand) last year..A Fanatic Goya..Here's a pic of it taken down at the point.

Arthur came to Cocos with us last year with his mate Michael. Nice guys that were falling apart after two weeks sailing in the warm water.
We tried desparately to get Arthur to raise his boom and improve his gybing. As you can see from the photo his boom is at the bottom of the cut out and his gybe entry not so smooth. Glad to say they both improved heaps.

At least those sails you are using DJ were good ones in their day and still going strong. Who says gear doesn't last hey.
