Wouldn't you know it, I had Friday off, Strat had Friday off, Surfy had Friday (afternoon) off, Paul and Woodette always seem to have Friday off (what's with that anyways!?) and the wind was blowing like stink, so we spent the whole day at Sandy Beach ripping on Wabigoon Lake.
The wind was blowing 15-20 knots all day with gusts to 25 knots mid day, so it was a challenging, yet fun day with lumpy water conditions! We were swapping gear with each other, jibing, jumping, crashing, laughing, you name it, we did it on Friday! I had my smooth-as-butter-riding Mistral Woody Screamer out for a full on test and wow, what a board! This baby goes like snot, rides like you're on air and jibes sweet! I'm stoked about my Woody!!

Body is aching today after yesterday's 5 hrs on the water, but you should see the smile on my face....
