OK, OK, I've got to interject.
NUMBER ONE rule for water sports. If you can't swim back from there, DON'T
GO!!
     You will probably all be amazed at how far you can swim if you need to.
The far side of the channel is only @3 miles to the launch (ok, maybe more
depending on trig). Swimming this distance is mainly a psychological problem.
If you still have your board it's a peace of cake. Oh yeah, I'm also not a
big fan of bailing in mid air.
     Windsurfing is not the safest sport in the world, it is however
extremely fun. If the risk outweighs the reward.........

:D
