Practiced push tacks: http://www.roynbartholdi.com/windsurf/tac_haas.htm in my living room while watching the Peter Hart video. Successfully completed them from both port and starboard (fell a couple of times, though.) Have never tried it on the water, but very much look forward to it. Gorge trip is less than 2 weeks away. Was the official photographer today for Team S&M on the Urban Assault Race. http://www.urbanassaultrace.com Lots o' fun! Post race beer: New Belgium Sunshine Wheat and New Belgium Loft (provided free of charge after the race!)
