Jessie sailing after the preliminaries. The second part of this video shows Jessie making a self-invented jibe; next I'd like to have him perfect a proper pivot jibe. | Chris had no prior experience but did great. This footage was shot by Chris' mom Holly using my Nikon superzoom. Thanks! |
Jessie had an intro lesson here last year. This year he was accompanied by his wife Holly and their two sons, Chris and Isaac.

Phil and Sara had never windsurfed before, but Sara had sailing experience. After the on-land instruction and some basic practice in the shallows, Sara caught on quickly and took off for the middle of the lake. I put the GoPro camera on Phil's boom and recorded what you can see below. It was again pretty windy, so I took out my 7.0 rather than the 8.5. I couldn't get planing, but the chop, the inconsistent wind, and natural clumsiness dropped me in the water a bunch of times.
I first saw Mike H. wing-foiling on the lake in November (when it was still liquid), and then he came back in January to do it on the snowy, frozen surface. In this post I windsurfed with my new 8.5 m^2 sail along with Mike on his wing-foiling rig.
