Our windsurfing lesson involved an on land windsurfer mockup. Just in case it all went bad in the loch, I got windsurfing pictures of everyone on the mockup.

Launching was less awkward than I expected. With the sail draped over the back of the board, we paddled out into the loch and then slid the daggerboard into place.

The wind was very mild, which was perfect for beginners on windsurfers. Ricky and Angus got their sails up and everything.

I think I caught this shot of Ricky with Angus in the background just after they had experienced the slowest collision ever.

When the wind kicked up, we were ready to enjoy it rather than be thrown off balance and off our boards by it. Good fun!

Ricky said it took a few tries to get this shot right.
