Internet Links to get you through

The windsurfing internet is surprisingly large.

stableroad.com

has 20 or so viewable video's from the past, as well as interviews with personalities in windsurfing......havn't seen Rick, Jimmy, or Joe up there yet though. Lots of old Neil Pryde stuff etc......

Also, I saw Kinger's truck in town this weekend. He e mailed and said that he'd sailed the Chesapeek a couple of times in good wind but steep chop.

Let's see some more links...............

Rick put this one up back in November. Nice...........

Which is best windsurfing or kiting? Well, I don't know and I don't care. BUT I think we should all unite against the evil multihull. Watch this video and you will understand.

See you all this spring.

Oh kitesurfing has some additional risks that I didn't realize. Apparently the kites can get hooked on the landing gear of jumbo jets .... just watch the video.

The journal "Physics Today" just released an article called "The physics of sailing". One of my professors who is a sailor was raving about it. I haven't read it yet but I intend to soon. Perhaps some of you would be interested, I posted the article online at.

Guys I went to the Banff Mountain film festival this past weekend at RIT. The first night of movies had a really awesome snow kiting movie called "Entropy", here is a link for the trailer:

Speedy Z,

Did you happen to catch the mountain bike movie at the film fest? 24 Solo was the name of it. It was made by Jason Berry a former local windsurfer. It's a great movie.

Jason was a local windsurfer? Cool! Yea he was there that night. 24 hour mountain bike races are not for me.
