You role out your most used 5m sail and get a surprise at the colour of it.
Yes it has been THAT long!
I seriously thought I had a red 5m. I had to triple check because it was fluro green

OMG Greeny

With the **** season we had and all......I still had 16 sessions in Jan and 17 sessions in Feb, Early morning easterlies! Y I dont just rely on wave sailing, been skunked to many times in 27years!!!!!!!!

You know its been a while when...... actually its neva more than a coupla days

When its more than 4 or 5 days I get "caged tiger syndrome" Start pacing, snarling at everyone near me, lashing out at anyone that gets too close

So Hardie what gear are you using on those marginal days to get into the water every couple of days?

I have been given the green light from the Cheese and Kisses to get myself a Kona 11'5 for next season. I am thinking that this will get me plenty more TOW this way.

Well part of the reason for my absence on the water was because I busted my foot and broke a toe a day after boxing day. Put me on crutches for a number of weeks and off work for two months! I had no hope. Even struggled to balance on my SUP

But hey Poppy Bob as a matter of fact yes I will have a few spare rooms for you. Im building a house in Margs

You get your helmet out of your work van and it's been used to store tech screws in!

Your windsurfing mates send you a text advising of a SW change and session later in the day. You (I) had to check who the text was from. Thanks Red.
