It was super inspiring to see him out there practicing Vulcans and then making one. Funnily I had my best Vulcan tries almost always directly after seeing a good try from Mark. I think a big part of learning new school freestyle is having others out sailing and practicing with you - it psychs you up, shows you how it is done, and that the crashes are not as bad as they look.
Here is a picture Peter took of Mark during takeoff:
Wow, thank you Nina!! Both you and Peter were a big source of inspiration for me that day! I pushed myself way harder than usual. I agree, we all feed off each other's energy and need to encourage other. It is way more fun tha way too! You will get your vulcan much quicker than I did as you are more fundementally sound in your sailing. Next time, I am going to follow you and watch you duck the sail. I hope you get a good session in today. I am stuck working this weekend :(
