I've been out of the loop for quite a few years only coming back into windsurfing last year.This season in Newcastle area has been crap.[}:)]Is this something that happens every few years or should I take up knitting?

Ha, you had a good southerly season compared to us further north.
But generally yeah, seasonal flops happen. Which is why I tend to have a variety of hobbies.
COnsider the GC last spring. 6 mths straight of northerlies. Great for us, but the surfers were ready to kill themselves. Then followed by a really dud autumn for swell.
Enter the pushy, guitar and skateboard.
I get bored really easily, born bored basically.

True, which is why I came back to it as well.

I've got plenty of other interests but none really compare to hooting along on the board ( sold the motorbike - in retrospect that was probably a good move..quit while I was ahead)..

yeah, weatehr dependent sport can be a drag. Add surfing and ski-ing, and I've got 3. Not that I surf much since I banged my shoulder.
That's where the pushy and guitar come in so handy.

Yeap, bought an onshore waveboard in Feruary and still have not used it.
