Now that's what I call windsurfing. Awesome job Ryan and Jen and wicked pictures.
It baffles me how to get out.

It went through my head that I was going to do the walk of shame from Cox bay at best and at worst end up on the rocks, but I made it out to the side and did two or three tacks and made it back to the beach where we launched...
