I have seen what may be the same family at Rio at Powerlines before, and
yes it was a pretty impressive collection of gear. This was about two
years ago, Personally I want to date the windsurfette just so I can have
access to Dad's windsurfing equipment. :) :)

Then again, you could have gone to Third and had the windline 10 yards off
the launch....
Sunday at Third was pretty strange, with the wind coming up and down pretty
substantially. Luckily I've learned to rig big in such circumstances, and
the 5.7 Northwave Race I was on handled down to 5.0 without any problem, and
most of the time I found myself pretty underpowered. I continue to be
incredibly impressed by the Northwave's range and decent power on the low
end. I never came off a plane for more than a few moments all day long,
and on a day like Sunday that is really saying something.
