|
|
Hello Friends!
Wanted to get your thoughts on something. I've been a windsurfer for a good while now and I love it! But I'm not at all great at it. It inspired me to make windsurfing a part of a fantasy book of mine though, which I'm also excited for. I wanted your thoughts about if the general concept is realistic. Basically it is a combination of windsurfing and soccer with two teams needing to throw the ball in an opposing team's net on a goal dock. The wind of course would be perpendicular and the docks are occasionally adjusted according to the change in wind.
Here's a link to the rules and details about the sport (also called windboarding/Mephris in the book) if you want more details to give specific feedback: https://gmdantes.com/mephris/
Also, if anyone sounds particularly interested in helping with this, I'd love to have a fellow windsurfer read over the windsurfing section to make sure it actually makes sense and is realistic. Feel free to message me on here or privately!
Cheers,
Gabriel Dantes |

We loved it back in the 1980s, when it was officially called buoyball. Unfortunately (also fortunately), it died a peaceful death when bombproof plastic boards were replaced by more fragile hulls. |
