Are there any other windsurfers on the forum ?
If so, where do you sail ?
What level are you at ?
What equipment do you have ?
Where have you been on your wind surfing holidays ?
In order to get things started here are my answers to the above questions :-
1. I normally sail at a place called Tankerton, which is near Whitstable in Kent.
(See the attached picture.)
2. I am at RYA level 4 (except that I can't carve gybe yet)
3. I have a Starboard Go(180l), a Starboard Carve 151(151l) and an F2 Ride 282(115l).
I have Tushingham and Ken Black sails ranging from 5.2 up to 10.0 m2.
4. I have just returned from a holiday to Kefalos on the greek island of Kos.
I have also been to Moon Beach, Dahab (x2) and Hurghada in Egypt, Bitez in Turkey, Vassiliki on the greek island of Lefkas, Finikounda (x2) on the greek Peloponese Peninsula, Leucate in France and Tarifa (x2) in Spain.

Wherever there is sport, I am sure to follow. I merely wish to promote the act of answering your questions with regards to Windsurfing by as many forum members as possible.Originally Posted by Bigger Andy
I'm particularly interesting to know what Andy McGreggor, Mikey, DanderousCurves, and Heidi have to say on the matter.
I'd also like to add to my Colleage "Bigger Andy's" List of questions...:-
- How does DavidB think Windsurfing competitions should be judged?
- Is Gus band from any beaches where Windsurfing is partaken in?
- Have independants been handed you flyers when you've been Windsurfing?
- Is the Tramp a Beginner at Windsurfing?
- Does Geordeed believe that West Coast Windsurfing is far superior to all others?
- Do Aussie Windsurfers prioritise Big Waves over timing with the tide?
- Are there lots of luveys always telling each other what wonderful Windsurfers they are?

I used to be a windsurfer. I started on a Windsurfer (tm) with a teak boom in about 1982 and kept it up until about 1994. I've still got 4 boards and about 20 sails which cost me thousands but are now worth nothing so I can't bear to part with them. I could carve gybe, but not very well in big waves, I could jump, but rarely sail away from the landing
But windsurfing takes a whole day and is very selfish when you're a dad with young kids - so I gave it up. Since then I've got into yachting: which is a bit like windsurfing with a kitchen
See...... It's a good job I asked!
Will, I think that you will find that the question was originally asked by me (the thread starter) !Originally Posted by Will
Whilst you definately deserve the credit for bringing up the topic........
I thankyouOriginally Posted by Will
I tried it for a week in St Andrews. Ended up having a lot of fun and getting about a million bruises all down my shins.Originally Posted by Bigger Andy
Chris, making mental note to buy a second hand Laser in good nick.
Forgive me for not asking :-Originally Posted by Will
- Does ChrisA always wear an All-Black wetsuit when he is windsurfing?
My nan used to have a caravan in Seasalter, which is near Whitstable!Originally Posted by Bigger Andy
What I really want to know is, how may men have tried it but couldn't get it up? Time for a poll?

Me ... but I keep on trying ... I know I'm crap ... even when experts try telling me otherwise ...Originally Posted by Lory
Getting it up is easy, keeping up for a few hours is the hardest bitOriginally Posted by Lory
One of my claims to fame was keeping it up and keeping it dry, saved the bother of hosing it down before rolling it up and putting it back in the bag
That sounds as though you must have been in the sport from the beginningOriginally Posted by Andy McGregor
- in the era before clamp-on booms, harnesses and footstraps ! Respect !
Things have come on a bit since then !
