I agree all truly loving partners are expert lovers.

The saddest reality for windsurfing overall is not my claim to being a windsurfing expert, but the fact that I actually am the most expert windsurfer in my county & several nearby counties. There are too few.

Windsurfing still needs to build a training system or something that entices more beginners into the sport & also keeps beginners plus improvers in the sport.

Maybe we are part of a vanishing breed and scene. For many years, I've often sailed by myself, but I've been happy with that.

Most folks on the coast graduate and aspire to being wave sailors. If you are simply into just sailing about, you're a bit out of the scene. I have to admit though to sailing at less frequented venues. In a way, it's cool to have a secret spot and score. I guess that's a bit about my old surfing past coming through.
