It is with sad regret that Graeme Morris lost his battle with Cancer recently. He will be sorely missed by the Storm-Riders community. Commiserations to his family.
Thankyou for your thoughts, Dad loved being a part of your guys culture.
I am pleased that a trophy has been assigned as part of your seasons efforts and thankyou all for your support.
In his word “sail hard and give them nothing”
I agree, But in order to understand a bit more of windsurfing, you need to know that is like a surfboard but it is powered by the wind. The rig is connected to the board by a free rotating flexible joint or U joint, unlike a sailboat, a windsurfer is steered by the tilting and rotating of the mast and sail as well as tilting and carving the board. Take note that while trying windsurfing the ideal planning conditions for most recreational sailors is 15-25 knots, good luck! But why isn’t hard to go surfing?
