This guy windsurfs

Damn - there are some people out there who are much more athletic than me.

Your neighbour sounds super cool. We should all be so lucky ;-) Keep on enjoying the rig - I've got more gear than I know what to do with.

Re: tracking down used gear, the issue you are bumping into is that pretty much the only people who still windsurf in Victoria are the diehards. This means that ...

+1 for Seawing. Used it for various surfboard purchases over the years.

My first trip to Nitnat, I flatted twice on the P rated stock tires my Silverado came with. I was exactly half way along the dirt road on the way in. Hitched back with some loggers who in turn got a flat in their crew-truck. After I finally got my vehicle back to Youbou, I confessed my ignorance of ...

Touché.

After you have mastered those fundamentals young grasshopper, only then, are you ready to start windsurfing.

We need a golden something else for the largest walk of shame which I believe went to GDawg today... :lol:

Shame? Heck no. You guys with your safe just-past-the-point-kick-out ought to be ashamed. You could still get at least one more hit on that wave, maybe even two, if you're willing to swim ...
