Is there a trick to carrying the board when there's a bit of wind, so I don't look like a complete dork with any muscle?

Let your man carry it for you?

Has your board got a handle?

Kirsten, it might seem obvious but you have to carry the board in the line of the wind - downwind position.  It's not easy but what are you doing going out in real windy conditions anyhow?  Shocked Dude's right, get a nice strong guy to do it for you - got any pics to post  Huh  Wink

Forget it, impossible not to look as though you're struggling  Sad With such a great sport there has to be a drawback and that's it - isn't it?   Cool

Kirsten, I have taken to carrying my board on my head.  Then it doesn't get blown around by the wind - did you try that?
