Funny how freestyle doesn't have a big following in WA, I guess we're blessed by too much wind and waves for anyone to bother
But seeing the euros come here and dance their boards like ballet, I respect that more than speed sailing by a LONG way.
If I go the river to practice some freestyle stuff on my waveboard, I usually keep pace with the guys on race gear, or often outpace them. Makes it hard to respect that kind of sailing and I fail to see the attraction in it
Oh gawd am I reading the kite forum now? Are we dissing 'wakestyle' or 'unstrapped' because it's not 'core' enough?
Ferchrissakes we're all different, how about we respect each others differences and enjoy the fact that there's enough of us to support an industry. That same industry allows me to wander off to the shop and pick up a uni joint, and it doesn't matter whether I'm going to use it for speed, flatwater, or freestyle.
I respect the mobbers who regularly sail 5 knots quicker than I can (in the same conditions) and I also respect the wavesailors who slash and burn far better than I ever have.
After all, it's the stoke that's important, not how others view us. Get it any way you can
Well I'm way better at one than the other and get one done a lot more than the other.... so really I am just theorising
Hmmmm.
Haircut

Shoulder.....

Haircut
was arrested by traffic cops
and busted his shoulder???
(Yes I'm old enough to rememebr Chips but only just )
OK. Imagine an icypole. It has 2 parts- body, and stick. Now imagine a human body and a section of mast inserted at the bottom. Human popsicle.
That could, in theory, happen to somebody who revealed secret wave spots to the world
Of course I would never condone such action
With a look of pure unadulterated innocence on his face, He asks....
I thought you wanted all the flat water sailors to go wave sailing???
It's the ultimate expression in the sport (or so I've been informed).
I think overall there is more flat water sailors in Aust than there are Wavies so the more known wave spots the faster the conversion.
Europe has waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more flat water sailors, imagine how great wave sailing could be in WA if we can get more of them over here, at least triple the numbers.
Jesus was nailed to a cross for asking people to be nice to each other.
If becoming an Elmo Popsicle is the greatest sacrifice I can make in my role as a Born Again WavePig then it's a small price to pay.
Re mast sellection
In the 20(odd) years I've been in sales, I've had my freckle reemed out that many time by professionals who were pissed of with me I've lost count of the rebushing's.
Forget the RDM, I doubt a SDM will touch the sides
It is OK furry friend I have answered your PM
I knew it would not be long before relli came into this
