Hello:

It has been a while since I have been here and I miss(ed) it man !!
While you folks down under are having fun on the water ...
we here in the Northern Hemisphere are inundated with snow, freezing rains, etc ...

This year, we have had an unusually warm winter !!
Non, NOT warm enough to melt the ice
BUT it did keep the snow levels down !!
I have managed 13 sessions on the ice n snow this year,
which is more than in ANY of the previous years ...

Here's a little clip to give you a taste !!

Very cool. Always wanted to try snowboarding with a sail. We don't get snow or an off season tho.

My "off" season I build boards as it's cooler for the resin

Off season for wave sailing is foiling
Off season for foiling is wave sailing.

Life is good.

In the video I don't see any harness lines. Must be some pretty bad consequences if you were catapulted.

Been barely any wind here, spent the last two months scuba diving instead.

I think it's vent plug time.
or,
are stiff or flexy fins faster ?

Hmm, in ice I'm thinking stiff fins are better

Needs more downhaul ,,,,no seriously!
Interesting your riding on skis not blades like ice boats use, but you appear to slow up leaving the ice and hitting the snow?
