That reminded me of my first time windsurfing.
My dad and I got windsurfers and went to use them for the first time. We had never done it before and seemed to have no issue. That was until we decided to head back to shore where we started. All we did so far was go across the pond from one side to the other - it was when we went to turn around that we realized we had no idea how to steer <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
We ended up breaking down the windsurfer and paddled our way back. Took a land lesson once and after that had no problems ever again.
I look back and laugh on it now, but it was not fun paddling back - it was a pain, but at least it was a small pond.
