hey i just got back from a regatta...and my ass is killing me
for today i sailed a sunfish, and yesterday i was on a laser...the laser is sooo much more comfortable for hiking
for my sunfish, what do you guys think about wearing bike shorts as hiking shorts? my baggys should work for hiking, shouldn't they? they are hella padded.

First summer regatta tommorow! Let me guess, you were in salt water. Hate that stuff. Yeah spandex (biking shorts) helps a lot, but hiking pants are the best. Cant wait for the 420 regattas this week, so excited!

salt water is better wind, i like it better when i am in boats that dont capsize much like 420s. but i like sailing lasers on fresh water cus then i dont mind falling in, downwind i tend to lean harder and i dunno, its just warmer and more inviting. next regatta i am going too is salt water, cold water. oh well.

hey, buy some sailing angles shorts. I sail like everyday and they keep your ass from getting sore and wet. Definately worth the money.

29ers are liek a smaller version of the 49er. that olympic class boat. they are sooooo fast. its insane. i weigh 160 amd in 8 knots i am fully out on the trapeze. soo fast. huge spinaker. its like skateboarding. in high wind it would be sooooo scary. i would shit myself. oh man. also in a regatta starts would be soooo scary. ah i wanted to go practice todya but i am going to my cabin fort the week and wakeboarding foolios.

420s capsizing too much? Hmmm sounds like someone needs to learn how to sail...j/k but I rarley tip over in a 420. Probally like 2 times a year on accident. Its all about good boathandling and that almost eliminates the problem!
