Wind Surfing

The adventures continue as Jeremy and I learned how to wind surf last Sunday. What a blast! It isn't as hard as it looks. Really! Here are some pictures to show off our new skills thanks to Dan (our Stanford wind surfing club instructor).

 Step 2 (because Step 1 is just being able to stand up on the board): you must pull up the sail

 The paddle of shame... yes it's me. I got a little stuck, but I kept going and got the hang of it!

 Off Jeremy goes! He was a pro!

 Getting the hang of it! I made it half way across the lake before turning around to come back.

So we were a little sore the next day, but what an adventure! This was at Shoreline Lake. It is a small lake right off of the bay but warmer (and unfortunately salt water). All the materials were provided by Stanford wind surfing club so it was a great and fun (not to mention free) experience.
