What happens when a fanatic indulges in the obsession for an entire year? I started winging right before my 48th birthday. I spent as much time on the water as life would allow. I lost 50lbs along the way. I have built skill and endurance for hours. I cannot begin to explain how much this sport ads to my health, happiness, and well-being. Much of what I learned came from watching videos. The results were more than I would have ever imagined possible.
