That's New England's finest Josh Angulo pulling transorbital G's as he rounds a mark in Fuerteventura last month. In the ongoing windless hell of 2011, my callouses gone and jibing a distant memory, this image jogged a recollection of jibing in days past (I jibe EXACTLY like Josh. More or less. Press "1" for more, "2" for less, "3" for more options.) Photo courtesy PWA/John Carter...check out more on their mighty web site. Additional props to James' blog for putting this image under my nose.

Rather classic turn of phrase Mr. Puffin. *chuckle* much like being on the injury DL, same effect as no wind.
Love the photo though; as close to synchronized swimming as windsurfing gets. Or should I say the Blue Angels? Yes, that's a bit more like it.

Phil, when do you get back on the board (conditions permitting)?
