Just thought I'd post this here as I know you guys would appreciate it, also I feel it deserves its own post.

After years of trying on and off to beat Mr Graeme Fuller on his long board tonight it finally happened, the stars aligned and he lost.

I remember him saying about 3 years ago "if you ever beat me on a board, I'll eat it". I think today mr Fuller is the day to eat said board. 

Not the windsurfing type but you can eat it on this discussion board.

Feel free to comment and mock :-). 

I'm sure he'll either keep quiet or blame it on his age or something along those lines but still......

I WON  Big smile

So are you saying, just for the record, that he's a Loser, L.O.S.E.R, L O O O SER?


Yep, we know ;-)

Well the boy done good, he actually did better in the first race where he came close to getting a third, he needs to brush up his downwind pumping and gybing skills, but all in all for the relatively short time he's been at it, he's actually done very well.

I might even have to get back into training, lose all this dinghy softness I've caught....

Windsurfing's the real world, got to encourage youngsters..

All I do is set the bar, take the piss if they can't jump it, but you have to acknowledge it when they do..

It's your turn now..

That's not a race, it's a muppet dash out to a buoy and back, no upwind, no downwind, no tacking, one gybe...

A lottery as to wether you get knocked off in the melee to clear the beach..

Having said that I did do it once and proved the total superiority of the longboard over boards with just fins, but honestly it's a victory not even worth the taking, I couldn't do it to even you....

Perfect for a windsurfer then... or perhaps even a kite board!  Smile

exactly... if you're going to race boards, then don't bother pretending they're dinghies using dinghy courses and dinghy rules.... do this:
