had my second session friday at a lake over in mountainview. wind was pretty light - probably 12-15kts. my goal for the day was to be able to get to my feet and taxi in each direction. goal was met. it was tricky when the wind backed off. had a hard time maintaining traction against the wing and would fall. there were a few guys out who had 6+m wings (i was on a 5) and who really had the light wind thing dialed. i guess i need a 6
i ordered an ebike on saturday so i can shuttle my gear way upwind to give myself more time practicing and less time doing the walk back to the launch spot (i don't really like calling it the walk of shame - there's no shame when learning something new. it should be called the walk of exploration and discovery, like in the tonic mag videos)
also, must add that wingers are much more welcoming to noobs than surfers haha. windsurfers are dicks tho haha.
