After having recently "got back into" windsurfing after a long lay off, I recently purchased my first new board for about 15 years.

Anyway, was using the new beast on the weekend and came a cropper, causing the mast to smack the nose of the board and crack the surface.

My question is, after spending a couple of grand on a new unit, then doing something stupid (like running aground on a sandbar)
Is it OK to cry?

Thats OK - we're all gay anyway apparantly, so we can all sit down together and have a good sook.

You must have done some bad ** in a previous life to deserve that one [}:)]

me think you are going too fast!!!!

thanks guys, gave me a laugh.

PR I tried the self harm thingo, well kind of... went home and managed to kick my little toe on the bottom of the bathroom door frame
friggen near killed me ...
... took my mind off the board tho.

Nothing major, just cracked the gelcoat (is that what its called now) around the nose tip.
Put it in for repair coz I dont want any water in there.

Its just typical, i've had an old polyester board for bloody years, but never upgraded coz I only seemed to manage two or three outings a year.

But the kids are grown and I have more time, regained the urge to get out there an finally purchased a new board. Used it four times and bloody cracked it.

yeah,
some of those old timers can wield a nasty zimmer if they get angry.

Icy ports, according to my old man

large tumbler filled with crushed ice and filled with port.

NO NO NO ... sorry my mind was starting to wander, as it does when you get old.
