I've started really getting into it this summer, and realizing it's fuckin RAD.

anyone else ever try it?

I kinda do?
I've done it a bunch and I'm actually not too bad at it I can tack and keep on going for a decent amount of time. One problem I have though is every time I tack I tack a bit further so before I know it I'm half a k down the beach and I have to drag the board and sail back to where I started haha

And to the guy who said you can't do much watch this, obviously not saying I can do this but my dad's friend has some neat stories:

it takes a good 10 times being out there, and probably some good lessons to really have the hang of it. i've been doing it for several years, but this summer I just said fuck it, i'm going to really get into this, and have found out that once you know what you're doing, you progress stupid quick.

so just keep trying if you can. once you get down how to really wail with the wind, you can have such a blast..
