When we first talked about going to Quebec, I was really excited to hear how popular windsurfing is here. Well we finally made it out onto the water last weekend for a wickedly hot day with just the right amount of wind. This is a "Starboard", a super fattie with lots of float and balance. It's a little underpowered by this 3.9 meter sail but it's great for beginners. Hopefully we'll take it out this weekend with a 4 or 5 meter sail. I missed a few spots on my back with the sunscreen and got a little toasty - my first time this trip. I sure have to be careful. The UV rating yesterday was 9. The highest possible UV rating is 10.
