Let’s get to know each other….

This is me being filmed in 2011, doing my favorite thing on Lake Champlain, NY. Just dug out some videos I didn't remember having.


I've had major neck surgery 5 weeks ago and I hope to rebuild myself to go back windsurfing this coming summer. I'm only 71 after all.

Now you know me a little better.

If you ever come to Oregon, you’ll have to try the Columbia Gorge.

I've been to the Gorge on a sideway trip some 30 years ago. It was in April with easterlies (meaning wind in same direction as the current), blowing like stink (40+ knots) on the river was far from ideal. Someone proposed to lend me some old gear to go for it. Gear I don't know and an old stinky wetsuit with holes in it on such a day, didn't inspire me to take the plunge. I would have loved to ride there in summer thermals with those big rolling swells. It just never happened. Now at 71, it doesn't seem as attractive.

Bunch of friends spent their summers there, some still do. Since we've had that place in windsurfing paradise (Îles de la Madeleine), I didn't feel the need to drive all the way to the left coast.

For those who don't know what the Colombia River Gorge is for windsurfing, here's a taste of it.
