I always thought it was related to the 'teabagging' that goes on in american prison showers shortly after somebody drops the soap

Now for a more exciting subject- why do they call windsurfers 'pole dancers'. This seemingly sexy term induces a vison of lissome young ladies contorting themselves gracefully and effortlessly on the Golden pole, and seems a far cry from the reality of the balding, paunchy, curmudgeonly and sadly grumpy middle aged men that my own windsurfing generation has become, as evidenced by the attitudes displayed in the reples to this post towards their brethren on the 'dark side'.


Hmm... Pole dancing must describe my windsurfing generation - plenty of lissome young ladies gracefully contorting. And happy ones too!

Are the balding, paunchy, grumpy middle aged men you describe the ones in the front row buying over-priced beer so they can keep drooling over the lissome young ladies?

Kato wheres his visor down cause it gives him that extra 5 knots of speed. He looks alot like dark fader with that dark visor down, but hey its 2009 so any thing goes thease days.

i think they call them tea baggers because in kiting you sway the kite in and out of the power zone to get your power and this kind of looks like dipping a tea bag i suppose??? but i agree a much better name for them would be dopes on ropes



?????? any resembelence ???????

I really think this guy i met down at rye invented the name. now every one calls em tea bags. i think the name traveled across the water from australia to maui and cross the states too.

i could be wrong. does any one know where the name came from?


I live on the east coast of the states and haven't heard it yet. However, I start using it stat. It's probably common on the west coast where most of our beach parlance comes from.
