Went a couple more times for evening sessions this weekend. I am getting better! I learned one thing for sure and that is my practice lake is too narrow. If I get the board up and running one trip (reach?) across takes about 5 seconds. I barely get the "yee" out of my "yeeeoohh!" before I am crashing into the next bank.

Still spent 75% of my time struggling. I think the sails I have are too big for my skill set and the afternoon marine winds.

The winds were strong in the evenings 10-15 mph and when I did have it going I had to lean back hard and that big old board was really moving. Quite a rush.
