i did that in turks and caicos. Apparantly you need a license. WE told the guy we knew how to do it. We got stuck out in the ocean somehwere till we figured out how to use one of them things. There friggin awesome. We almost got our heads knocked off by the sail when it whipped back when we turned it around.

IS that u in the pic. Friggin awesome.

^^ yeah i saw the video. U can see you started off slow then picked up speed rather quickly, thought you was going to hit land , you came pretty close.

Hawt stuff!

Cool stuff, looks like you're having a blast. I never got into sailing myself, I prefer power. But being out on the water is awesome no matter how you get there. We're actually about to pick up the first boat of our own within a few days, a new Sea Ray 26 footer. I can't wait to get out on the water - we're lucky enough to be minutes away from the Chesapeake Bay.

Its fun, try it sometime if you have a chance.

We use to have a Larson 195 with a aftermarket prop, it was fun but sailing is fun in a much different / rewarding way
