Mood: pray for wind

[*] posted on 16-1-2012 at 11:25 AM


I get to fly almost every day that there is wind and the tides cooperate. I drive by the beach in the morning, lunch and at three after work. If the wind is up I make something happen. Not always the best direction but who cares (other than my wife, she thinks I'm obsessed)

I have only been flying since last July and I would say I get about 3 to 4 sessions/month. The only thing holding me back is that I work a lot cuz I can just step out my door to fly. And when I get my buggy there are some nicely groomed fields just minutes away. I suspect I will travel to the beach (8 hours) once/year, Lake Alvord (4 hours) once or twice/year and of course NABX (12 hours) every year.

Whenever I can....the wind here almost always comes with rain. It's been an extremely mild Winter this year and it has been dead calm for much of it. We didn't have a windy day for over a month! It's getting better now I just need to get my ass out there!

Mood: chilled....but ready to SAIL!

[*] posted on 17-1-2012 at 08:40 AM


i voted but, question the "multiple" times , as i session at a daily rate and do doubles all the time. not sure daily and multiple are a separate class.

for example on the ATB at low at 1pm stop/break at say 3/4, then get on the water til sunset ..is that one 6 hour session or 2 3hour sessions ??? this is common, but like last friday we did 9am water session til 11am, and then back on the water at 4pm that is not so common but definitely 2 sessions( and a midnight run at low would make #3.)

and how to (physically) make it through multiples ...HOT TUB!

BOB i humbly submit as better class category the "HOT TUB required" to encompass daily/multiple as one rather than two separate because without a hot tub time machine your bones won't allow it!
