Intro

The anonymous windsurfing blog is something I have been thinking about for a while, the reasons for anonymity will probably become clear with time. I am sure people who know me or recognise my kit and locations will probably work out who am (if they were that interested!), all I ask is not to tell my boss! .

My life has been consumed by windsurfing, I met my wife through windsurfing, I met the majority of my long term friends through windsurfing, where I live is influenced by windsurfing. I have adapted my career around windsurfing. I start to twitch as soon as the wind gets above about 12knots (it used to be 20-  25 but I am maturing and have seen the enjoyment that can be had from larger kit !!). I still day dream about windsurfing, I read and re-read everything I can find – which to be honest is getting a little limited these days.

I have windsurfed for nearly 30 years, this does not make me an expert, in fact far from it, my goals these days are to enjoy my sailing . I have gone through periods of immense frustration with the sport and had physical knock backs but have come to just enjoy what is a fantastic challenging pastime

I can think of so many funny and life changing things that have come out of my passion for windsurfing, I started to compile a list of the dumb thing I had done over the years and the list is impressive, what is even more impressive is that I think the magnitude of dumb action have undertaken pales into insignificance by comparison with some of my windsurfing mates.

One of  the things I struggle with is finding information on the gear that is around, I have now managed to sail a bit of gear and experimented and hopefully my opinion and experience may add a little more info to the pool of limited windsurfing knowledge that exists.  Like everything in windsurfing its not necessarily right . Back in the 90’s you could read up numerous reviews and get a really good picture of what a board might do before you bought it

I am not sponsored in any way and any opinions expressed are my own , as to the historical references I will deny all knowledge of anything ever.
