Snowboarding

One of Dad's better jumps
Landed it too.
Ok, so I didn't get to windsurf in February. It has been two months now since my last session, and I'm starting to get all the magazines, newsletters etc. indicating a new season is around the corner. I'm excited.

We went to the Alps a number of times, and my boys and I are snowboarding together, and my wife and daughter are skiing. The French Alps have great snow, wonderful food, and mostly sunny skies.  Some of the slopes are only 90km from the Mediterranean. I guess it would be possible to ski and windsurf in the same day!

I did a few experiments with the Shadowbox on the snowboard. It is neat, but definitely more suited to windsurfing (or at least I'm better at windsurfing so the data from that sport is more interesting.)

I've reconfigured www.baston.fr to start emailing me wind reports. My board is back from the repair shop. I'm looking forward to my next session.

Family fun
Wow, 8 person chair lifts
