On the water at last!

Three weeks on the island and not one day logged on the water. Today was the day - could not let another one pass without getting out there. What did I move here for anyway? Not to sit on the sidelines.

The guys at Neil Pryde let me demo some gear (JP Free Wave 109; Alpha 5.4 - for those who care about the technical details) and SB and I went to the spot near Camp One.

For my first day, things felt dialed in fairy quickly and I found the zone in no time at all. Jibes were non existent, but hey... it's the first day.

Conditions were not over-powering; just right for me - 5.4 sail kept me nicely powered.

More to come...

It feels good when you earn your food.
