Adrian, can't believe you said that.

Here is the steak you asked for, medium rare?

I'm all for dropping the gloves on the ice, beach, rugby pitch, or parking lot if someone walks up to me and has a problem they need fixed... but just for the record.. winddude was the first to utter threats to rip up my gear and then post personal attacks online hiding behind a puter!!

'...keep them out of my way on land and in the water. Next time there lines across a parking lot, I think I'm going to do a burnout'

'I guess after flying kiddie kites when you're learning in 5 knots makes anything seem windy'

couple others about where I'm getting my stats from and how I interpret wind speeds sure whatever criticize them I don't care... Maybe you didn't see my lines out no worries my bad I'm in the way... I'm pretty reasonable and am simply trying to fix my gear after a wind drop drove me further and further downwind before the point of no return causing a run for the beach in a wind shadow.

winddude please... I like how you turned around my personal message to you that was simply a joke that you proposed!

'pasta, only if you show me a video of you looping a windsurfer before you leave lv'

hope we can meet face to face and discuss this like gentlemen but from the way you've been acting after your shitty session I hope no body gets hurt!

I thought yacht owners were dicks but it seems 10x fold for windsurfers some times

Let's keep it positive! We can all play together nicely. It's really all about respecting nature and our fellow wind community.

I'm with Frank & SB, we have had very great windsports relationships, let's not F@#& it up, we are very unique in that sense from what I see elsewhere

And yeah for the record, it was kinda cool to see Marty fly over top but....I wasn't too fond of the idea either and said so afterwards for everyone to note: it was a first like Larry's breakwater deal but please don't try that again

Yes, Kus is correct, pic looks cool but anything could go wrong. It's all about the safety. I've had a few kites over top of me, gave me a shiver down my spine after the fact.

Didn't know it was your gear, no one should leave lines across a parking lot, if it was Robby Naish I still would have said something.

I'll try to remember to bring some cachaça to the next JR day and we can share some drinks after.
