Study of Surfer Fitness

Of course, windsurfing is quite different, but still interesting, especially the part about peak heart rate after riding the wave.

Ohmygod, I went to see the new Woody Allen movie tonight and the characters were in an apartment in Rome and there in the background was, I kid you not, my "yellow" board.  Exactly.

I thought it would be only fair to show this one above, this is combo USPS/DHL shipping
to get my new state of the art weed fin, but unlike my latest sail/mast that took 1.5 day to get from China to Miami, this time it took almost a month, I would've bet it would be other way around, considering German reputation for precision and order... One more example that you can't make superficial judgment calls...
Fin looks good though, and I hope to give it a test against Biscayne Bay weeds later this week.
