When I windsurf what I think about depends on what type of windsurfing I'm doing and who I'm with, let's take a more solo approach and look at wavesailing: When sailing out, it's what swell or waves are coming in, is it safe to grovel out, is it possible to get on the plane, once planing it's looking for swell lines for wave riding and when I should turn, or if I got speed and want to jump, looking for the right steepness of a wave, hit it, try and control the aerial part, try and land to plane away..... On the way in, with a ridable piece of swell it's looking for the right point to charge down the line, looking for lips to smack, or avoid, depending on how big the waves, and or how badly I'm sailing.........And then either feeling very pleased with myself and sensing a euphoric feeling or pissed off with myself for stuffing up........... Yes to respond to you, I'm also bored!!!!!!!

If I've got a cold beer in my car fridge, that, or rum when I get home
Or just hoping Troppo doesn't land on my head.

I think about how I wish I had 5 lines attached to my waist and a Naish kite floating above my head and doing 12 foot boosts in 12 knots of breeze, instead of sitting on the beach drooling over some fat 60 year old alpha male swiss guy [}:)]

I always have a word that I say over and over in my head and sometimes I say it out loud. Its always a different word and usually a wierd word. I say the word forwards, backwards, split it up and in different accents. For example Babooshka, collywobble, dohecahedron or anussudaec. One word per session and its always a funky word I heard during the day. Other times I may have the last song I heard in the car when I rock up in the carpark. Its a very strange practice but its true and only one other person I know does this. Kelly Slater talked about how he does this in his Black And White video.

funny that roomdweller,

i often create a new song from scratch, building from a couple of todays words and ending in a full song as i ride.

as corey from narrowneck had us write on the bottom of his blank : HID'M WIV DA RID'M

corey has since moved to the solomans and married the chiefs daughter.

Haircut Ive seen you lock your car, and you had a great hiding tip, leaving the keys inside the car.

The usual thoughts going through my head are:

"You Fu***ng imbecile", every time a stuff up a gybe, so more often than not.
why is it you seem to stuff up more when you have mates around? When no one you know is around you can gybe like a champ

and

"I should have rigged bigger", for some reason I always get sucked in on the beach and rig one sail too small.

When I do get it right, the thought is a simple word "Waaaahooooo!"

I am usually sailing along wondering why I keep bothering with the river. Then I remind myself that it is close and all my mates go there. Apart from that it is 'where are the shallow bits'. Then I am usually berating myself for not getting the last gybe or tack perfect. There's not really time for much else.

I also get songs stuck in my head, maybe a few and it depends on the kind of session it is, if it's high wind/ waves, it will be something like the offspring or other song I would have heard recently that amps you up!! Then think about girls... girls, party and windsurfing are pretty much all there is in my head when i'm motivated!! When mates are sailing too, we set objectives for the sesh -> try to be better than each other -> no thinking, just doing! and when it's cruising around, it's like a chillout session for your mind...
Yes i'm bored too right now

I'm thinkin "Heres Robby Dunkerbeck an the crowds goin WILD" just before the chupata chat chatter of Vando comin up from behind. Then I'm thinkin "No! heres Anders goin fer a classy lay down".... stuff like that or thinkin about girls and singin "Down on the beaches lookin at the peaches Da doo du, Da Daa da du du". Either that or "This rigs kn tuggy. Is this mast too stiff or do I need more down haul?". or "JESUS, nearly killed m'self then", or "One more go at a push tack an then I'm Really goin home", or "wonder what it'd be like to windsurf all the way to New Zealand?" or "Do penguins dream of flying and do whales dream of running with the wolves?" or "Why CANT you divide by zero if you want to?" and always "Hold the board flat you dork"...all that n more
