Скачать или смотреть Sort-of Downwind, Mississippi River at Memphis, March 28, 2020

Why do I call this a "sort-of" downwind? Because the wind (15-20 miles per hour against the river's current) wasn't quite enough by itself to generate true downwind conditions. But a big upstream-moving barge rig had just passed through, and as a result there were surfable waves scattered all over the river, but there wasn't a clear downwind pattern to them.

Make no mistake: I was NOT styling it out there. This video includes only the halfway respectable runs I caught; in between I was doing a lot of flailing around. One reality I'm coming to terms with is that I'm really not stable enough in my V12 to be as aggressive as I need to be. I think anytime there's a south wind I need to break out the V10 Sport.
