Glad we helped and you all got them back. What about the youngn who lost his red board he just received that day, did he get his back.? Apparently he was out near wind marker when he came adrift
By the looks of it, these bloody things are the most elusive items ever when you loose them. Some sad looks yesterday afternoon

Two things to not say at Pinnaroo whish were in your post:

(1) don't sing the song "rescue me" (... wasn't that in Priscilla Queen of the Desert?)

(2) don't say "feel the luurrvvvve"

Reminds me of the old joke about what to not say at a gay bar
(1) Can I push in your stool? (errrrk)
(2) Well bugger me...

wouldn't say those at Pinaroo either.

Leech, gota feel sorry for them, only learning, bit like me.
They sometimes get under your skin trawling across the run when they come adrift and cant re-launch

I wondered what all those scratches on the side of my board was, I thought it was me bumping the brick wall in shed, each time I stowed the board

Good work ppl. This is what we like to see...

There is so much wind starvation and suffing in the world, especially in the windurfing community, so it is good to see us helping each other out.

Oh, that's right, cos The Poo has a "reputation".

I refuse to use the toilet block after dark.

Funny story, I used to lead a youth group on Friday nights. One week we had a "Spotlight night" (hide and seek with torches, basically) in the dunes at Pinnaroo point. We'd only been there half an hour when the boys in blue showed up. Seeing the red & blue lights, another (male) leader and I went to see what was going on. As we emerged from the beach the cops were pretty hostile with us. Asking a lot of questions. After i explained that we were running a youth group they told us a passer-by had seen all the lights flashing in the dunes and, assuming it was "the usuals", called the police. They were cool but suggested it might not be the best place for young teenagers on a Friday night!

I would never have known

Im thinkin real life TV drama,

"Minerals Mullaloo rescue"
You wont beleive your eyes when as Mr Mino as we like to call him describes a rescue.

Reporter-
So Mineral have you had to rescue someone reciently?

Mino-
Yeh well, (Thick bogan aussie surfer slag) there was this Euro, it was blowin 70 knots at least and while I was out the back pullin meself on me 61 ltr monster wave rider JP special, I noticed this Euro being dragged from what I can gather was Maddagasker he had this worried look on his sunburnt face and asked in broken Germainia for bratwurst snagger as he was very as hungry.

Reporter -
From Maddakasker eh?

Mino -
Dah?

Mino -
Anyway I peeled off this 3 mast high monster and headed straight fer him, as I closed in I whipped out me leatherman, ripped past and sliced his lines, gybed back and on the way out hit the lip of the monster wave, pulled a tripple backy and landed on the face of the same wave and proceeded to head towards Mr Im nearly dead now euro.

Reporter -
Whats a tripple backie?

Mino -
Check my new movie being release at the end of this summer called "Youll never never know until you break a bloody toe".

Reporter -
Ok.

Mino -

So I scope the poor Euro now nearly dead about 22 kms from shore, I fang up to him and as I pass him doing 96 knots using both hands as my rig is in perfect sync with body I reach down and grab him by the waist harness and start to performe CPR.

Reporter -
I though he was nearly dead.

Mino -
So what if I like to kiss men But I had to make sure he was alive, especially for my 007 beach shot as I run up the beach with Mr euro in tow.

Reporter -
So, did he survive??

Mino -
Did I break my toe being silly??? Of course

Reporter -
You da Red Barron of rescues friend

We that concludes another real life rescue by Mr Minera1, what a champ!

Hahahha hope ya liked it Mino dude

Sorry Puggs, glad your healing well though :)

Had to use poor Minos experience to enhance my feeble attempt at humor.

Respect

Cheers GT

GT awww geee shucks, ya bloody boof.
You must have been bloody board this afternoon to put all that up
Missed your calling, you should have been a script writer
But LMHO reading it.
So where's all the squashed air going to be this weekend

Pugs, hope your healing well. Bloody toes going, aren't real flash. Tried a pair of boots I used last year,just in case as I don't have a toe nail on it anymore half a run and I came back and chucked them up the beach. Felt like somebody was bending toes all wrong.
