More Windsurfing

This weekend I went out windsurfing again, on BOTH days. It was pretty awesome. This time I went out with a 5.4M sail on a 112L board. The reason why this is so good is that I'm quickly learning how to use a smaller board. My water starts are getting even better, and I'm starting to get the hang of the area. It's a much different wind than at the cottage and in Maui.

I hope next time I go out I can get to a ~105L. But it might be time to take a lesson on Tacking and Jibing, cause it's really a lot different than on a 160L Shark (which I have at home in Canada).

No action shots yet, but here I am outside my car.



Look at that awesome wax on the car .

More Visitors

[I forgot to post this but here it is 3 weeks later]

This weekend Andrew came and visited all the way from Peterborough Ontario. He and Mike came down to visit me at Apple, and luck would have it that we just happened to have a beer bash this week. It was a pretty good one to come to because we had the new products out on display from WWDC a few weeks back.

Saturday, we drove back into the city to check our Fisherman's Wharf. It was the usual tour, Mike got his Coffee, I grabbed some fruit. It was good times. We did this leading up to the big event, going to see Transformers 2. Usually I wouldn't get soo pumped up to see an action movie directed by Michael Bay, (he hasn't topped "The Rock" yet). But this was Mike's first credit in an ILM movie. And what a movie to be associated with. Visually it was beyond words (hint hint go see it). All and all it was a good movie, my only complaint is that the graphics were too good, that in production they stole too much focus away from plot development. (More likely they knocked it out of the park because of the lack of a top notch script :p)
It was awesome to see it for the first time with Mike and Andrew.

I didn't take a lot of pictures but here are some
