Wind surfing at Wuruma Dam


Well that was the idea but without the proper gear Roy decided to have a go none the less.

He made up a sail from remnants in hs van a mast and spar from tent poles then used his canoe for a board. The end reult was hilarious for those fortunate to see his efforts and it was recorded on my camera and Sandra's iPad. 

I must admit that Roy got A for effort in my book and I am sure that with the proper equipment would have made a good wind surfer. I couldn't have stood up in the canoe and retained balance I was flat our just sitting in it without falling overboard.  John

Who says boys get wiser as we get older. Lots of fun. I'm sure with a bit of practice Roy will get it going.
