back in the 60's n 70's - the biggest buzz was from Hawaii and it was not windsurfing

Drag racing another proficient sailor who is on much much newer, speed oriented gear, and overtaking them, and still heading further upwind.

And sailing on the ****tiest, coldest, bumpiest day of winter in 25kts+ , when everyone else is huddled around the fire, and having an absolute ball.

when i see kiters jump over me, they go so big its kinda scary but exciting at the same time

Dude likes big dicks.

Heading up to the lip and slashing the lip as hard as I can.


Or doing a far, low jump nice and floaty and overpowered, and then landing nose first at full speed - that's always a buzz. (catapult alert!)But generally just windsurfing is a buzz for me After trying many sports I still regarding windsurfing as my #1. It encompasses everything you could ever want. And unlike other sports, you still love it as long as you're planing, even if the waves suck. Whereas other sports, often when you get better, you find conditions need to be more perfect in order to get that good day.

There's so much about this sport that charges me up; nailing the exit of a gybe, watching someone else nail a sweet gybe, getting a PB on GPSTC, sailing with mates on a summer's sea breeze, getting a new 'toy', surviving a tail-walk/near-catapult, the chattering of a board in flat water at top speed and seeing new-comers to our sport.

That sums it up for me too!

Nicely put.

I think the biggest buzz is having sponsorship from the greatest sail manufacturer with a great range of awesome sails. So thanks to Ben Severne and the team for making great gear!!!

(How was that, am I there yet, fellas?)

The sound of "twissssssssssssshhhhhhhh" while the air plugs are being pulled on the kites because the wind has become too strong for them, leaving it all to us windsurfers....................... I love that sound.
