A Bright Spot
A Bright Spot
Last Saturday the world champion waveski rider Ian Macleod delivered to me the board he had designed and constructed for me (a four and a half hour drive down the coast of Florida). It was quite an occasion. I had to cancel my interview with my Turkish collaborators and friends, Burcu and Ugur, because of it. I discussed with Ian why waveski surfing is not a more popular sport, given its suitability for people who find regular surfing too difficult and enjoy kayaking. We had no ready explanation. Anyway, I thought my readers would like to see this magnificent work of art.

I want one (not least for its name).
I’m surprised more people don’t. It’s very enjoyable. Sadly, in Miami there are no waves worth talking about.
That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing. That’s what I like about your blog, there’s ample opportunity to learn something new. The waveski appeals to someone like me who hates the thought of going far from shore, where the big fish are. I saw a big shark in the water once here in NY. It was scary looking! It might’ve been a sand shark. But it was big! And so close, I could’ve touched it. With the waveski, it looks like sharks and jellyfish needn’t be feared (for the most part).
That is true, so long as you don’t capsize, which you will if surfing.
