Wow 3 months of fun in the mid-pacific sun is comming to an end.  Just one more week in Maui and then it is back to the SF Bay for a couple weeks of cliniics and shop tours.  After that I head up to the windsurfing meca of the Columbia River Gorge to defend my Title of Gorge Champ!!!  Starting with the Gorge Freestyle Frenzy July 6th and then the Return of the Gorge Games July 18-24  yeaea!!


I just started using a waterproof ipod case with water proof earphones by www.h20audio.com.  The thing rocks.  It is so much fun listening to music while I sail.  It keeps me out for much longer sessions and definitely helps take some of the fear away when trying new tricks.  I think this company is going to take off and that it should become way popular with Windsurfers.
