So that was all 4.7 on the 92.  But as it so often does in the Cape, it was about to get really windy.

    This next set from the late sesh come courtesy of Yohann and Margo.  The shots go far to describe the velvety ultra groomed feel of an evening sesh at the jetty as it goes offshore and get’s even smoother.  I was back on the 4.7/ 92 and I really do love that combination.  Especially when it’s tricky on the inside. 

    And then a couple days later, yet another score at the Rogue jetty.  5.3 on the 92 with Tigi snapping some tasty morsels from my first sesh before she had to take off.   Much gratitude is due.  

    So that’s Jeff Albright on the red Banzai.  And I’m thinking I’m gonna have to start following him around when we get to sail together because the dude seems to have a knack for seeing the good waves coming.  And at the jetty for the late sesh this day, well, he was so consistently picking off the tastiest waves that it got me thinking that I either need to work harder on that aspect of my game or just start shadowing Jeff’s every move.

     And what a pleasure to sail with him out there, though I do regret blowing a chance to try that 95 quad he’s got in back of his Sprinter.   

    My apologies that I haven’t been shooting much myself, but it’s been all about the sailing and projects for me lately.  Especially after all that poetry about how cruel the Winter had been,.  So now I’m just hoping it’ll lay down long enough to let me rest, heal, catch up on work and tweak the fins.  Maybe even sneak up to the Gorge for some sail repairs and check in with the crew.   With my respect and gratitude for all the gifts and to all the photographers and sponsors that help make all this possible.

   And this last offering from May 10th comes to us thanks to a special guest photographer.  Trina looking like she might enjoy shooting what was a really fun 4.7 sesh in the Cape.  So I set her up with camera and told her to shoot all she wanted.  Maybe that was a bit of a mistake since I ended up having to go through nearly one thousand photos to bring you these.   But all good, especially since for someone who doesn’t really know windsurfing, or much about my camera either for that matter, she scored us some nice moments.  

    Much gratitude out to Nancy Pruitt for being there to shoot this ultra fun shralpfest at the Cape 4/30.  She’s been working on her photography large and it shows.  Some serious study and the gear upgrades are elevating her game to pro level results.    


    And while I’m far from providing pro level action in front of her lens, it feels so good to at least feel as if I’m on my way to getting back into form.  As my confidence really took a beating the last couple seasons.   

And while I survived on a 4.2 for awhile, the swell condition deteriorated noticeably with all the tide and wind and it started feeling like get hurt weather.  So rather than go get my 3.5, I rigged some lunch and held out for a really sweet late session at the jetty.
