After the first successful run using the Gorrillapod as a boom mount, I've since hit up four other East End windsurfing spots, draining the battery each time!
First up, Honkadelica: The Last Session of the Year at Sebonac Inlet in Southampton, Dec 30, 2008 (see also accompying Flickr photoset). This day was off the hook, with 30-40+ mph winds (some gusts over 50-60!), sunny & 37 deg, survival sailing 3.2 to 3.7 sq m with liquid smoke on the water!!:
Our first session of the New Year was underpowered winter wave sailing at Ponquogue, Jan 2, 2009, which I subtitled "How far would you schlog and walk for a wave? ...in the middle of winter?" Unfortunately, the camera was pointed a bit high, and missed most of the wave ride:
After 4.7 in the morning the next day at Iron Pier Beach in Northville, Riverhead, NY, the wind back off at noon, which led some to stray: Some Days Somebody Has To Be The Wind Sacrifice...
Finally, some Northfork Windsurfing, starting 4.7 off the jetty rocks at Mattituck Inlet, and ending with some high-powered 4.2 blasting back at Iron Pier Beach, Jan 8, 2009. I got a couple half-backloop crashes out of it too!
What a blast! Battery is recharged, and ready for the next session (let it be waves!)....
