Love it! Some blistering speed runs, a chop hop, a beautiful duck gybe and a 360, mission acomplished in my opinion. i hope I'm there when I'm 70! Great stuff!
I'm 58, have had two bypass operationsand still hope to learn to jibe. Up to now I can thunder along planing in harnees. Too late? Hope not. Any suggestions for the ideal spot to achieve my dream in 2 weeks? All suggestions gratefully received...right on the beach + guaranteed wind and reasonably flat water.
@novadrian Hey man, I'm also 58, and just getting back into windsurfing locally in the SW of England. I might get over to Poole harbour one day, apparently it's often really flat there. But a lot colder than Portugal!
Few years ago, in Jericoacoara, I knew a 82 year windsurfer. He cant support being without his daily dosis of 1 hour sailing, no matter the waves DESPITE THE KNOTS ! ( within the regular limits , obviously). Everybody had a lot of respect to him , and to his family. If you go to Jeri, ask about him.
I was out in Club Dahab with this guy last easter. He was telling us how he got his first carve gybe a few months before. Ledge! Growing old disgracefully
Awesome! He is pushing his limits. He is not afraid to get wet. Try new stuff. Most guys don't do this. (At any age) This is why most guys suck. Swallow your pride. Get wet and get wet often. Awesome!
Wow! rock on...hope I am still able to do it at 70, thumbs up for this one.
