Also.... Please.... Watch out for bicycles!
I ride both road and mountain bikes. Much more dangerous on the road. At intersections I always try to catch eye contact with drivers before crossing.
Re. windsurfing and balance. I used to windsurf and I remember if I had just 1 beer it would throw my balance off enough that I fell quite a lot. Skiing and snowboarding I can do half in the bag. Windsurfing not so much.
Ah, a fellow (former) windsurfer! I miss it. Still have my gear. Always meant to get back to it but seems there became too many demands on my time so it never happened. Then again it was a whole day commitment. Had to load up the Bronco and drive at least 30 to 45 minutes to get to the windsurfing beach. Then that beach got developed. Private property, no parking, basically windsurfers no longer welcome. So drive became 1 1/2 hours, if I recall correctly, to get to an accessible beach with parking.
It really was a blast, though. I like to think I could still do it fairly well, but I am not sure I remember exactly how to rig the sails. There's probably a youtube video.
Edit: Lots of windsurfing videos, and yeah, they look like they're having fun!
