Harness Weggie!

I am seriously considering investing in a waist harness. My seat harness usually does a fine job, but that's when you are wearing a thick wet suit. With only a bathing suit and board shorts it gets to be a little bit uncomfortable after an hour or so one the water. Chafing on my thighs and what I call my 'harness weggie' does not result in the most comfortable of sails.

In other news, there's a freestyle competition in Jeri today! I actually know a few of the people signed up, so I think this will be an event to watch. Since the competition is in the middle of the windsurf day and the wind hasn't picked up yet, I think it may be an easy going day for me. The chop has been pretty rough recently, it makes it a lot harder to try new things when the only flat areas are in massive wind shadows. But I'll check out how the pros cope with the chop. I figure if they can do it, why can't I?! Oh right, most of them windsurf 365 days a year.

Yesterday the board and I got a little face on face action. Nothing big, apart from a little bit of swelling, but am 1 cm higher and the '$5000 smile' might have had some temporary readjustments. Not to worry folks; no pain, no gain!
