2014 Sailworks Retro 6.5, 1985 Hi-Tech 9' Carbon Slalom, Wind: 20 knots
Back on the water with tentative steps after a week of being hobbled with shin splints. Some shin pain still but a good rest after each single back and forth run was enough to allow a future run. I think I'm now on the healing side of this latest medical issue.
Felt good to be back on the water! The Hi-Tech isn't fast compared to present slalom gear but it is a comfortable ride when your legs hurt  . Actually had one of my better jibes of the year today. Unfortunately, swung a little wide and KA72 decided I missed the exit gate... Don't care. It felt GREAT  . Good enough to get me back out on the water to try again.
Still lots of floating seaweed in the water. Will definitely be bringing a batch of weed/speed fins back from Oregon in the Fall.
