My wife and 3yo are away for the week and somehow I mange to come home early which I don't usually do.
I walk into the boss's office today around 3pm and say "right, I'm going home early to go windsurfing - I'm sick off just looking at the wind and waves out the window".
I get home, tip toe gingerly around the new (second hand) 4.7 ice I just brought (lying unrolled on the lounge room floor) and go rig up my 6.7 Hellcat, grab my 101l FSW and head out in a gusty 15-20 knots - I should do this every day.
i'll show my wife this one.
it will make me not look as bad.... 
signed the jealous one.
How about a competition with a prize (Laurie?) for the best story of getting off work and past the Mrs, to go windsurfing ????
When you argue over gear with the wife and daughter - not because they don't want you to buy new gear, but because all three of you want to use the newest sail!
When money is no object when it comes to equipment (much of which you don't even need), but every other purchase is deferred until you can really afford it, or until prices come down....
When you're stoked, because you just got a new board, a new sail, and a new fin!
In 100 litre, 120 litre, and 140 litre; 6.5m, 7.5m, and 8.5m; 34cm, 36cm, and 38cm...
when you get stuck on a sand bank in the middle of the bay with no wind and the police boat comes out in the middle of the pouring rain to ckeck if your OK
^^^^^^
ture story we almost got stuck and plobed on 5 konts
dont want to fall in with no uphaul and no wind
You convinced your better half that a weekend away would be "just lovely"...you subtly pack your gear for a run up the coast and by the time the wagon is loaded up, there's bugger all room for anything else. The worse bit....for a split second you consider using the passenger seat to fit more sails in!
When you show your friends you have internet access on your phone and the only web link is the BOM forecast and observations...
"you know you're into windsurfing when.....i told my lad that football and soccer suck and basket ball is better simply because it's played at night and i wont miss any windy days being stuck at the footy.
you have to wear your wetsuit to the Perth Cup because you just had to go sailing (hey, it was windy!) and you were having so much fun you lost track of time and when you got home the house was locked up and your husband had gone to the cup without you...
and it was worth it!!!!
when the boss tells you to get the hell out of the house and fo sailing as your bottom lip is dragging on the ground while doing 'domestic duties'
but if it distresses me to go out and have a quiet sail that negates the reason to
when you start wearing your shorts around your nipples and whinge about what the kiters are wearing
sorry,couldnt help myself.
I will get back in my box now
doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, if the trees start thrashing, then you can't concentrate on the task at hand
The the missus says the dredded word "BRUNCH"
and you know its gunna be windy and you find it had to commit to reli gatherings just in case the wind comes in.[}:)]
Spend a week in WA (taking harness - just in case), no wind, & after several days wife asks if there there are any 'scenic spots' that are not connected with windsurfing
