How'd you Score? Let us all know how you did. Please recommend any new questions/ideas!

53-72 No answers: What are you, NEW? Obviously you?ve just started windsurfing and haven?t been bitten by the bug YET! Just because you found and took this quiz shows hope. Get out there and keep learning. It only gets better. Rating - Couch Potato

41-52 No answers: Look at your hands! What? no Callouses? Get off that 12 foot board and start looking for stronger winds. Plaining is a wonderful thing. Practice your waterstarts and soon you'll be the best kid on the block. Rating - Tender foot

31-40 No answers: You've been bitten. This can be the most frustrating level for the windsurfer. There is never enough wind. More wind is all you can think about. You are not scared to fall because this is what you are best at. Once you get your equipment vacancies filled you'll find that you can sail more often and even enjoy those light wind days. Rating - stoked

18-30 No answers: You're having fun now. Windsurfing has become a way of life, but it no longer controls it. You sail when it?s good and don?t pout when it?s not. You know how to read the weather man and determine where the conditions will be best. You no longer need to ask other sailors what size they are rigging, you can tell just by looking at the white caps. Rating - Experienced Sailor

14-17 No answers: Quit your day job! Start looking for sponsors! You are ready for the next dimension of windsurfing. Competing can give you that next challenge you are looking for. Rating - Board Head

0-13 No answers: HARD CORE! It's time to move to Maui or the Gorge if you haven't already. If your not pro it?s time to consider it. The money sucks but it can be a lot of fun telling people that you windsurf for a living. Rating - Professional

No Junior I'm not annoyed. Just a little confused that a 15 year old who sails the train can say yes to the above questions? Read the questions again.... Think about them.... and answer HONESTLY. I'm not having a personal dig at you. I have been on this forum longer than you and have watched you grow into a confident windsurfer. Don't worry you dont have to justify yourself or talk yourself up to me or anyone here. Good luck in the waves
