Can there be a better balance of the forces of nature?
The wind, the water, the sun and the rain.
There is nothing like it. Alone on the water with your instincts and your board. I cannot imagine life without Windsurfing.
How is it anyone can be out in galeforce winds in a torrential downpour and still be smiling, where as normal people dodge a rain drop like a bullet.
The amazing catapaults and the ever amounting piles of broken equipment from being overpowered. I love the winter fronts. Mother nature demands respect for what she is capable of.
I know you know what I mean - as only a windsurfer knows the feeling.
From the first plane, first gybe, first jump to the last. The constant challenge that you can never master.
You dont have to tell people, its just too hard to describe. The only way to know is by being there. That feeling you get inside that lasts forever. The FREEDOM.
Im glad it's not an organised affair such as a football game or going motorbike riding. The wind pops up out of nowhere and everything else becomes unimportant. Plans are cancelled, excuses made, just to get out get out there. I feel sick
when it blows and your stuck at work or somewhere else, when all you want to do is be free on the water.
I know that every major decision I make in my life will have one consideration in common, The ability to rig up when the conditions prevail.
Please never take windsurfing away from me and I will be forever grateful. I know I dont have to convince you. There is nothing else that comes close.
Windsurfer For Life
