Smooth Sailin’
Dear Bic Techno 160,
“Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do”
You are a wonderful board, and I don’t get to take you out often enough as I’d like. You do make it a tad diffcult, you only let me play with you when I’m at Coyote Point in San Mateo. How about we reach a compromise, eh? Isn’t that what relationships are about?
What? What’s that you say?! You’re going to be a bridge snob and not come over to Alameda?!
FINE!!! I see how it is! I’ll just take out the lovely Kailua 160, Twin Fin. Yeah, how about that? Hmm? It comes with better foot straps than you anyway!
So much more cushier too. Easy to plane, easy to slide into the foot straps. Look at those blue curves, oh man, and that finger hold! OH THE FINGER HOLD!! What a delight to take down to the beach and rig.
Oh but my lovely Techno, you’re so responsive, its like you can read my mind. When we went out on the 6.3 Dawg; 10-13mph winds on Monday, it was like the windsurfing gods had smiled down upon us and filled up our sail and let us bounced along the waves into the glowing sunset.
We will make this work dearest Techno. “Ease my troubles, that’s what you do”
