Sounds more like a venereal disease clinic acronym to me...

Kitesurfers surely- why take the piss out of folks who actually do windsurf? You'd probably struggle anyway- they're on the water when dinghyists are in the bar and vice versa- it's a complementary symbiosis so often over looked in the attempting to troll bait.

I've had more time on the water ever this year having toys to play with at both ends of the wind spectrum- so much so that the planned 'new bike' is now just not needed.

LOL LOL

The main responsibility of sailors is to take the piss out of people using SUPs, windsurfers and jetskis ...

That is down to the parents being "risk paranoid"

There seems to be a medical term for every thing now that isn't average.

Most of the kids where I grew up learnt about risk in a very practical way. We were left to our own devices for much of the school hols, on our own as a gang. This did on occasion lead to some of kids getting injured, broken legs, arms and wotnot. But generally kids tended to bounce. Some kids just never seemed to learn though, always getting hurt or not taking risks because they were just plain clumsy.
