Memorable bigsurf moment:

Seeing Jarlath getting creamed right in front of me by an over mast high set breaking onto shallow reef at a very stormy windsurfing event in Roundstone, Galway, in the 90`s. His rig was destroyed, and the rescue boat driver took a chance in going in to get him. Brilliant work! Needless to say, I got outta there!

Funny windsurfing moment:

Racing in the south of England a few years back. Finally got my act together on the 6th race and pushed for position. Rounded the top mark in maybe 10th position, looked back to see the rest of the fleet behind me. Found out afterwards, I sailed the wrong course and they all followed me. Whoops!
