Had some racing during the Neptune Festival here in Va Beach. Quite interesting going out into the surf.

Only 1 disaster and that was a snapped mast.

Enjoy.

Did he flip in the surf and break the mast that way?

He was almost out and the last breaker caught him. Flipped him over backwards and snapped the mast. He has another but still it's a bummer.

Funny that he was the newest boat there. The surf didn't look too bad.

Now that's some surf!

That looks like fun! I hope I don't kill Gordo's 16 this weekend in the Dana Point surf.......Doheny used to be famous for its huge wave, before the jetty was built.
