Oh man I couldn’t believe it!  Finally after like four weeks of no wind we finally got some!  When we got to Hookipa it was actually really lame but there was no way I wasn’t going out!  The waves were small and the wind was shifty but, hey, I needed a day to learn how to do everything again!  Its cool because sometimes if you take a few days off and come back you’ll be on fire.  Probably because your muscles regenerate or something.  Today was not the case.  I launched and instantly said “this must not be my gear”.  Man I was flailing around on the wave like a fricken chicken, hey that rimes.  Anyways, I was really doing bad and I just couldn’t figure it out.  So then I consulted the all knowing consul, my pops.  He and I figured out that I was being a little too, ok Dad very, hyperactive on the wave, probably from doing so much stand-up.  So I calmed everything down, took a deep breath, and swallowed the water that comes with taking deep breaths while traveling at high speeds on the water.  Then the rest of the sesh was great!  Airs, hacks, floaters, and minimal flailing.  I was finally back to normal with only a little scare getting there.  Now I can’t wait for better conditions...
