I don't know jruffus, but I've seen him out there in February ripping, going at it like it was August. He's sponsored by Ka sails and is definitely not a kook nor a kiter.

You are taking risks and braving elements that most men would shun and find uncomfortable. In fact most participants in your sport would think you crazy. As long as you know that, you certainly can find a readership here that finds your reports interesting. However, I wouldn't encourage anyone to do what you are doing. Nevertheless, I didn't like it when a guy asked me if I knew what I was doing over a year ago when I rigged a 6.0 while all the others had sails sized less than 4.0. The thing was, I couldn't be sailing in the conditions with any sail. I was just out there to feel the spray and wind in my face.

ha ha yeah i guess. I started sailing when i was 10, and am now 31...so after 21 years, it seems like if its not some rediculous seshion like that, it seems i am sitting on my couch otu there, but it takes something out of the norm to get the juices flowing.

I am like a crack hoar, and now just need it to be bigger and winder and all that just to get the buzz. just like any drug i guess, you do too much of it, you need that much more to be high. then eventually the bottom drops out,,,and i am not sure what that will be. either i burn out, or i die

not such a good thing really-
