Well it isn’t really a wind sport, but it seems like an adventure worthy of a blog post!
After getting back from our great trip to Bonaire, the ski hill was still open and was promoting their Retro Pond Skim. I’ve never done a pond skim, but decided to give it a try.
I was pretty nervous the night before, debating whether to ski or snowboard across the 100 foot pond. What was certain was that I’d be wearing the crazy unicorn outfit I’d received a few years ago at a work party.
In the morning I headed to registration where I was pleased to hear that NO people get hurt doing this. Jen and Katie came over and cheered me on as I went across.

I made it all the way to the green carpet on the far side! But then I started sliding backwards very slowly into the water. Luckily one of the rescue crew gave me a hand and I slowly plodded up the ramp and then down the snow on the other side!
Yeah, at 59 years old, another item off my bucket list!
