Cross-Training

Wow! Pat, you talked so fast! Or maybe it was just the editing... Anyway, you guys shredded some gnar on that video.

Yes, Pat, that was an apparent brilliant explanation. Still can't restate all the explanations, but loved how you combined the theory with the practice video. Definitely food for thought with a burst of lightheartedness. Thanks.

For those more technically inclined:

VMG is the component of your velocity vector that points directly to your destination.

Other Terms Used:
Shredding the GNAR- To shred (go through) the GNAR (something Gnarly)

Other uses:
"I shredded the Gnar on that test!": I got a high score on my test.
"I shredded the Gnar on that sandwich!": I quickly consumed my sandwich.
"I shredded the Gnar on the dance floor": I performed many challenging moves on the dance floor.

OOOOOOOOOOO sailgroove rulez. Do you guys work out of a barn.

Some terms I used:
VMG- Velocity Made Good. Basically you are balancing going fast and taking the shortest distance over water to your next mark. Balancing these two will insure that you get to your next point in the shortest time possible, and have the greatest VMG.

When you are sailing sometimes your VMG will require you to sail a longer distance (over water), but you will be going faster, and therefore your VMG will be greater, and it will take you less time to get to your next point.
