Good/bad story, thanks for sharing. :-) I had a bit of a bad experience during the race as well but the after party was more than rewarding. It was my first downwind race and I chose a twin tip board and regretted it later on in the race. I had a tip get caught in a wave and lost my board to the Gulf after a 40 min search and 250 yard body drag into shore. Other than that it was an amazing experience that I plan on doing year after year. So many great people, riders, volunteers, organizers and sponsors that made this race something to remember. Thanks to Wind Stalkers for pulling it off after a months on end holding pattern. Hope we see more people turn out next year.
