Thanks for all the replies!
Thanks for the advice everyone. I will plan on checking out the cookout and picking everyone's brains. I did go out this afternoon. The afternoons seem to pick up about 5:30 at Picnic Island. I managed to bring a "lamo" friend to help me launch. I got to practice about an hour but wind wasn't quite enough until I got out and packed up- then of course it was howling. Oh well there's always tomorrow. It blows right on shore where I launch and it is rather problematic for me to ride very long before I have to trudge out by foot. The dreaded walk of shame---. Not doing too bad for only going out 3 times after lesson. I managed a good 200 yards going to the right which feels totally awkward as I have always skiied, surfed, etc. with left food forward. I hope to get some practice in before the 28th.
