With the computer's sound turned down you can hear the teeth grinding as they begrudgingly hit the green thumb

Hope there's enough breeze left over for you Greenie, Robby said he'd lend you a foil if it's light

Hi Kazza, I am living the dream, for a while anyway, having a gap year to windsurf as much as possible

Looks Good.
Almost as a good as the WWA Slalom Series
I did notice a tendency for low boom heights in a few of those pics.
Is this the new trend?

Here's a nice video of Ho'okipa I came across that is pretty "raw". There is no soundtrack except the waves.

Pretty relaxing stuff on the TV. I turned the heat right up, slapped on some coconut scented sunscreen, opened a cold one, and had my wife spray me with a water bottle sprayer thing every now and then. Like i was there on the beach.

Meanwhile back at home in the real world.. They're happy because although the wind has switched off at least the rain has gone..

I agree.

As I sit in a donga near Collie, middle of winter, pouring down rain, work tomorrow at 5am.

This thread is terrible.

Not enjoying reading it at all.

Oh wow...soooooo envious. Hookipa looked nice girl size waves that day. I found having a gap year many moons ago to windsurf as much as possible absolutely satisfying but now I find I want a permanent gap year
That photo of the slalom guys rounding the buoy awesome, the angle of their boards & rigs make you feel slack when you see angles of yourself gybing.

Hope you are having a quick break Dezza before hitting it again, too many days windsurfing in Maui can smash you! a tourist day can restore
