This year I'm trying my hand at the newsletter for the San Diego Windsurfing Association
and for my first newsletter I thought I would write a windsurfing poem

Fun in the Sun

 Flags start to fly, we look to the west
Ripples on the water, waves start to crest
The hustle begins; it’s time for the test
Outhaul, downhaul, lets rig our rig best

 We wade to our knees, some to our waist
Tilt our mast to the wind; find a puff to our taste
We pull and we step, for this moment we raced
Feet in straps, hook in, time to make haste

 We fly on the wind, like an eagle does soar
We tack and jibe, we always want more
Playing this way all day, we smile galore
It’s the fun in the sun we’ve been searching for
