10 questions.
Been first to turn up at a spot, then wait for someone else to go out because it looks a bit scary.
Wear wetsuit and booties when it's 35 deg.
Wear a life jacket / helmet / sunblock / gloves / sunnies / gps all at the same time
Use an uphaul line, just in case the wind drops and you wont make it back in for Home and Away.
Rig up on grassed areas only, with a handy toielet/shower block near by.
Use a board with way too many extra ltrs in case the wind drops
Don't try a new gybe/tack when you are out the back in case you fall in and get gobbled by jaws or even worse stung by a jellyfish. Speaking of which - have you ever had to piss on yourself because you have been stung by a jellyfish?
Gybed before the faster windsurfer catching you up, passes you by and leaves you for dead.
Tried to show off, to the oncoming windsurfer on the opposite tack by doing a 25cm chop hop then catapulting receiving a broken nose and going through your sail. (whoops this could mean that you are hardcore.)
