Hi Jim,
This is James Dunbar, my wife and I did a small boat coaching session with you a few months ago on Easter weekend. You taught us how to surf, read waves, and generally paddle better in bigger water. That coaching really paid off last weekend -- I just did a 20-mile race in Massachusetts called the Blackburn Challenge where I was neck-and-neck with another paddler for 19 of those miles. I was only able to pull it out in the last mile by catching a series of big bumps that he couldn't, which allowed me to snag 1st place. I don't think I would have been able to pull that off without the time we spent with you. Getting first at this race has been my goal since the start of our paddling season, so just wanted to say big thanks for helping make that a reality for me.
Thanks,
James
