I am such a dork! I went out to buy my surgery textbooks and what do I do? I buy Learn Windsurfing in a Weekend. I did buy my surgery textbooks too, and I did read them today. But geez, are they soporific! I made the mistake of reading it in bed, and fell asleep for 5 hrs straight. It probably didn’t help that I was up till 5 AM last night.
Why did I buy a windsurfing textbook? Well, I tried learning windsurfing from the guys at the lake, but, and I hate to admit this, because they *are* nice guys, but windsurfers are usually loner types. They don’t usually like explaining, or even company. That’s been my experience anyway. And so learning has been mostly trial and error for me, and if a book can help me avoid pitfalls, hey! I’m all for it.
Sometime this summer, I intend to take our club gear down to a little local lake, and try my hand at it. Other than rigging it up, I don’t see how it can be much harder than waterskiing!
