Grumpf, You legend. 

 

You may be right on the Asbo front, but lets face it how wrong can you be about windsurfing!!  Its not even a sport!

Well yes and no, turns out I know the guy that heads up the test team
quite well from years ago, but in reality I am sworn to secrecy about the
details, but it was nice for me to have my own opinion reinforced by
Professionals.

Read the mag review when it comes out, I shall buy a copy of it and
parade it at my club, they all thought I'd lost the plot as well, taking a
chance on an unknown.

I might be reminding y'all from time to time.

I bet you'd really like me to post loads of big pics of us sailing it again
wouldn't you?

I hate to put a wee pin prick in your mighty bubble but flick through any old
copies of Y&Y you might have lying around and find a negative boat review.
Go on, I dare you!

I don't recall anyone saying it wasn't a good boat, quite the contrary in my case, though a higher aspect kite with a lower tack (less wobbly pole) was clearly in order, to judge from your photos.

But we're still left with the problem of finding out how you were able to sail it so slowly.

Don't laugh

It just encourages him.

He knows he's on borrowed time.

We know where that muddy creek with the occasional dust devil swirl of
breeze blows used MacDonald boxes into the foetid water where he (and
I use the term loosely) 'sails' in between banjo playing sessions.

One day when all the paint has dried, the excitement of watching the club
grass grow has exhausted us, we'll saunter over there and administer the
official Hythe butt kicking.. (They worship Dumb and Dumberer over
there I hear)

You're more than welcome to bring your Asbo to the Medway Regatta and
the Medway marathon. In fact please do because I can't wait to see what this
"Hythe butt kicking" will actually amount to.
Whilst you'll stroll up confidently, butt kicking in tow. I expect you'll limply
fall at the first hurdle, dumbfounded as to why you're drifting steadily
backwards. We'll come past, calling to you, "stop hanging off the boom and
use the rope attached to it!!"
