work for yourself and whenever its not windy do as much work as you can, day or night, and change as many nappies as you can so you are ready to go whenever it blows.
Take phone and computer with you so effectively theres only an hour or so on the water as down time.
People around you start to understand you are much much happier after a good sesh and will start to watch the wind and you getting tense and tell you to go now.
Also helps if you have a business angle- for me its plain hard work out there testing new sails and developing new boards for you guys; got some real mean new board designs, a third new one coming over next week; if anyone wants a go give us a yell
yesterday was smoking BTW- couldnt hold on with 4.7 at first, then dropped; few nice waves. new squash quad with futures boxes went good, new S1 4.7 rips.
dont think its on today
