No just ignorant, but wikipedia has cleared up the confusion.
The Gnu is another name for wilderbeast, and this is what it says about aarvarks


However, the aardvark is not closely related to the pig; rather, it is the sole recent representative of the obscure mammalian order Tubulidentata, in which it is usually considered to form a single variable species of the genus Orycteropus, coextensive with the family Orycteropodidae. Nor is the aardvark closely related to the South American anteater, despite sharing some characteristics and a superficial resemblance.[3] The closest living relatives of the aardvark are the elephant shrews, along with the sirenians, hyraxes, tenrecs, and elephants.

i have to nominate king of the point or that gerro crew i used to catch a bus up to gerro every weekend and me girlfeiend (ex) sometimes used to get take away and go down the beech even if we didnt eat we used to sit there and talk and watch the windsurfers after she finished work

also lancelin back in the day we used to ride in the dunes unfortunatly injury broken bones and onsite ampuataion from rollovers placed an end to that, everyone lost the edge
i remember that carpark being full of windsurfers where the barbque area is next to the first pub on the way in was packed everyone slept on the grass


some of these people provided more than windsurfing they provided a relaxing getaway of entertaiment for many people who would`nt go in the water .almost like a retreat reflection

a beech a place to go where the world of problems could be left behind

they have provided entertaiment for generations of younger people like myself

u have to understand that your sport is verry much a spectator sport aswel and generations who have been down the beeches (mabe to clear there mind talk whatever) have sat there on the beech watching and have been rewarded with what life and nature can offer
it has cleared many heads
thakyou windsurfers !!!

Sorry Buster....but my upbringing makes me have to do this!

Beech

Beech


Beech (****us) is a genus of ten species of deciduous trees in the family ****aceae, native to temperate Europe and North America.

Beach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Beach (disambiguation).

beach is a geological landform along the shoreline of a body of water. It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobble. The particles of which the beach is composed can sometimes instead have biological origins, such as shell fragments or coralline algae fragments.

Beaches often occur along coastal areas, where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments.

he might be the best no doubt but really the one who started it all and introed new ideas to windsurfing radically that everyone took notice even when Australia's such a huge place...Robby N. is an idol but a yank so that rules him out
