What influenced you to start windsurfing? 

My wife. When we met I thought I knew how to windsurf, but the shortest board I had been on was 12’. She took me to the Gorge and put me on her rig and I promptly sunk up to my knees.

A little about you:

I am two days into learning how to windsurf with a foil. I am once again going through the learning curve of the sport. Yet I just want to go again, the thrill of flying all over again. Windsurfing is addictive. I hope to get good enough to actually try a race on a foil.
