What other uses of Windsurfing gear can we come up with to assist our brother?
Mast: He's a professional film-maker/photographer, so he'll have no problem justifying a top end carbon mast; or even 3 of them to suit the beguilling array of conditions that we love in Victoria:
Solution: Camera mounts/tripod. Why, he could even write them off against his tax as a work expense! Actually, given my own recent experiences with the lottery of submitting a tax return in Oz - which effectively means obtaining a refund for broadband costs associated with spending too long on Seabreeze - this might just fly...
Harness lines: Mick to missus, looking guilty:
''You know what dear, I just couldn't shut the boot of the car. Bloody lock on those X-trails. Used to be made in Japan - all imported from Thailand now, sweets. I didn't want any of your quilt making gear flying out the back, and all the hardware shops were shut, what with it being 10am on a Sunday on the way to Inverloch, and the nearest convenient store was SHQ. I was literally forced, yes forced darling, to buy these top end carbon filament harness lines to temporarily tie the door down. No need to thank me now - a cup of tea and a nice slice of cake is thanks enough...''
Seems like a good deal to me
