Nebian has moved and is now riding Ezzy (soooo WA - next he'll be Serverne and SSD)
Racism & kiteism is so last week.
All people should be pre-judged based on the equipment they sail...
Tushingham = You exclusively sail Scarborough shorebreak and/or have just moved out from the UK.
SSD / Delta = You support the local guy but on holiday you travel north or south respectively
North = You wear socks and sandels or have been influenced by someone wearing socks and sandels (guilty)
Pryde = You work in Oil & Gas
HotSails = You've met Jordo
Simmer = You read international reviews and go out of your way to import what you want.
3 Sails and 3 different brands = Your a tight arse who seaks out bargains (guilty)
Hybrid = You were born on Sydney's North Shore and you'll happily die there.
Starboard Acid = You visit Lancelin 3 years agos, loved the fashionable red and still wear leather puma sneakers.
umm pryde = no 1, all the rest follow. (used them since 1980) i still like all the other brands for their input or copying.
quatro = haiku cannery best place to see the worlds shapers in action upcountry from hookipa, it's da hub!
Pryde= your a victom to fasion, and like the attention the pretty colours get you and just like to look like a pro.
Quatro= You know how to sail and demand good boards.
Sailworks= You want gear thats bombproof and works, but don't care about the latest fasion.
Gaastra= dunno haven't seen a new one on the water for 10 years..
JP= if JP rips on them so will i, but usually don't.
Starboard= you live in W.A or only sail on the flat stuff.
Bombora = Because you purchased it new in the 1980's and your waiting for Tri fins to come back in fashion
Pryde = cool dude.
Gaastra = cool, a bit underground.
Ezzy = Little bit different kind of people.
Hotsails = cool, a bit old school kind of person.
North = cool, clever people.
KA = unhappy, not very nice, always angry, unkind to Stewie.
Pryde - You like safe choices, have more money than sense (and you always wear Levi jeans and Reebok sneakers and Crocodlie shirts?)
Ezzy - Too cool for school, and you acknowledge that you sail hard and wipe out a lot
Hot Sails - You're radical yet oldschool at heart, and wish to God you lived on Maui
Starboard - Ditto for Pryde; afraid to try something different
JP - either you are a good wavesailor or you wanna be one (nothing wrong with that!)
Maui Sails - You just like anything with the word "Maui" in it
Sailworks - Looks are everything to you. Performance? What's that?
Old, old, old boards, usually bought for less than $100 - you are just like me
3 Sails and 3 different brands = you break a lot of sh1t and don't want to pay the prices that the stores ask so you source the cheapest of the brands you like
I sail Ezzy now, don't sail hard and wipe out or live in WA, though maybe I am a little bit different.
I have been on KA but I am not unhappy or angry (although maybe I would be if I still sailed them![]()

)
I have also been NP, I try to be %100 Aussie but I have never sailed Severne, I didn't think any sails were made here.
Sails anything you can get your hands on to stay in the waves . Not concerned with brand names or fashion. All gear is expendible = Soul sailer
Oh except for J.P. and N.P. Wouldn't be seen dead on that stuff![]()
JP and NP.
You are a gear whore
Edit: Also wouldnt buy JP/NP (Unless it was ridiculously cheap and second hand)
how come ezzy had got this hardcore image ![]()

Mrs Miller "Windy.....David Ezzy is on the phone for you."
Windy groans "not again!! tell him ive taken up kiting"
SSD / Delta = You support the local guy but on holiday you travel north or south respectively

2 pryde, 2 north, 1 naish. I get gas, I wear sandels and socks(not at the same time), whats the Naish trait ?????? floral board shorts ??????![]()
Maui Sails: Time to go back to the grand master designer.... Sick of using imitations....
Did you see even KP bought a Maui sails Boom.........
In my quiver....
Kinetic, SSD, Severne & KA. ![]()
Never really thought about it, but I guess that means I support the Oz product. OK most of it is made O/S, but the design and R&D comes from Oz.
And generally speaking it's good value for money. ![]()
Mineral, I'm fairly tall and tend to rig all my sails at the of top the boom cut-out. Hadn't particulary noticed if the Severne sails I have rig differently.
I did read in another thread a post by Ben Severne saying that the trend was for longer harness lines and hence he was designing sails with higher cut-outs. What year are yours?
