I took a 5-day ABK clinic there about 8 years ago; however, fortunately or unfortunately it was not windy then. (BTW, in case you were wondering, the ABK people travel around, doing clinics all around the USA and in the Caribbean. I have learned from them in NJ, NY, DE and CA, plus the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Margarita.)
(No, I didn't shoot these pics or video.) This is Andy Brandt, owner and head instructor of ABK Boardsports, the windsurfing school that has taught me all I know. He's playing around on June 9 in a very windy place in California, taking advantage of extreme conditions that probably would smack me down. Note the graph shows it was blowing about 35 mph while he was sailing. These pics are all stolen from this Vimeo video that you shouldn't miss http://vimeo.com/user16803862/review/68028521/336fa52500.

I wonder how long it took Andy to learn these cool moves? Who did he learn from, himself ? :-)
