Had mine today, sailing (by myself), wife and kids playing on the beach, light wind with a bit of roll. Landed a couple of small jumps, and planed on....carved into the beach (digging my fin into the sand), but upon carrying gear out, walked up to the good lady, and had to ask "Did you see me do those couple of jumps out there?", in which she replied (without taking her eyes away from the rugrats), "oh yeah?!?".

Now anyone that knows my wife, knows you have to dig deep to get any sort of 'warm-blooded' response at the best of times...(she's not mean, or anything, she just generally doesn't get excited easily...you know what I mean!).

So, I pushed a bit further...."Nah, how'd I look???" (getting a bit aggitated after jumping a bit higher than I've ever jumped, and with onlookers!!!)

"what do you want me to say?", she said as she dragged her eyes away from the kids slowly and looked at me.....wait for it....

...."you looked like a windsurfer", she shrugged. First I thought, "great, thanks for nothing!" then it dawned on me.......I looked like a windsurfer!

I LOOKED LIKE A WINDSURFER!!



I'll take that!!!
I'm now at peace with my soul.

I'm not going to tell you what she really meant by that was that you looked like the father of small children abandoned on the sand-blown beach with their mother while you indulged in a selfish hedonistic pursuit, then seeking admiration from those you have abandoned. No, no, take what she said as a compliment
