First ATB ride


I took my first ride on Laura's ATB yesterday at Jekyll and my first today on my newly reworked Earthboard with a 3.5 Rage...SS bearings and 3" slicks...really cool!! No straps yet( saved me) cause I'm constantly running off the board. Did get some cruises in a parked position...I'm really fairly comfortable on it, probably because of landsailing it with a windsurf rig for 3 years. That is it on the avatar sailing backside with a 6 meter sail. It's gonna be real fun with more beach than I had tonite. Plus, we have tourists and spring breakers that think the beach is for stuff other than sailing. I'm gonna pray for them.

you would windsurf also if you could leave four sails rigged and waiting in a shed in the dunes.
ouch.
