				craziness all those windsurfers. my wife counted 34 on the water at one point. somebody must have un-cancelled that sport. 
 
 
they all strayed downwind of me. i think the key is to pull a kook manuever on the beach and and put some fear in them. 
 
 
extra friendly surfers this time as well. nice when all god's children can play without incident.

				The coast was epic this weekend and we'll post some footage from the New Wind Camp soon including landboarding and wave riding.  I think Onad captured footage of Lenten and the SS crew testing the new LINK.  Patience..it may take a day or two to edit and post.     
 
 
PS - The water was ubelievably warm and it was sunny both days.

				i thought i was the only brown/yellow fuel on the beach yesterday, but maybe there were others?  
 
 
saw a few people riding the LINK at kite spit saturday.  That is a sweet looking kite!  i was slogging with my 9m some of the time, but the gusts were Monster

Hard to tell until you ride it.  
 
I counted 3 links out at Ship wrecks yesterday.
 
To me it appears to be a fuel with it's tips cut off.

				| That's a good point.  i was preoccupied with not getting yarded but the people riding it looked like they were enjoying themselves.  in all honesty what i saw could've been a friggin machine and i wouldn't know the difference.  but i thought it was shaped like a waroo and it said 'link'.  anyway, it had cool colors

				| The Link's construction looks pretty beefy (struts to leading edge, etc.) though.  That isn't in anyway saying that the current Fuel's aren't.  The new Link's just look nuts!
