Re: The reason why I took up winsurfing was......

Re: Quetzalcoatl speaks:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I guess you don't understand my humor Eric regarding self pleasuring. Personally, I'm a chronic offender. Anyway, the jist of my comment was "what the hell man, it's your day off and the wind has already been blowing/nuking for 3+ hours, where ya been!" When I read your posts about limited...

Re: Where and when are you surfing tomorrow Friday?

I'm planning to go to Lake Byllesby just outside of Cannon Falls. You can see a map of it in the 'lakes' section of this website. ETA...noon. East end of the lake, must drive past the campground to get to the launch if you have never been there before.

Re: What color is your helmet?

Thanks for the clarification Quetzalcoatl. I was envisioning wind loving folk out on the water just struggling to keep their heads up due to neck muscles slightly more robust than a slinky. Most of my mast hits have come from above while clearing the sail in generous winds. Love hearing the "ti...

Re: What color is your helmet?

"You can never predict when a "Rogue" gust of wind might throw your head into
the mast." Umm...I'm going to say this has never ever happened and never ever will. Please rephrase what you meant to get across to your viewers.
