That wasn't fun. I broke my mast in that crap that day. They were too short and steep to be fun. You would roll down one and crash into the next. I did everything right short of turning up to capsize and still broke my mast that day.

Fun was a Michigan St. Joe regatta. Blowing 15-25 that day straight down lake Mich. We rounded A mark and could hop a wave and point straight to C and then turn back 90 degrees and hop the next wave. That was a fun day. I don't remember the year maybe around 2000.
