(A little rap-inspired lyrical thing here...)
Been a long time, I shouldna left you
without a wet rhyme to step to
Think of how many weak blows you slept through
Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you
Been thinkin' of this, you keep repeating you miss
The rhymes from the Wet Willy solo-ist
As you sit by the internet, hand on the mouse soon
as you hear it, pump up the volume
Dance with the speaker til you hear it blow
Then, plug in the mastfoot, cause here it go
It's a 4 letter word, when it's heard it control
Your body to sail, you got it, BLOW!
(Peace to Eric B & Rakim)
Rain, rain, rain....got about a week of decent conditions last week, but it's back to the rainy season now...
Also:
New career,
finally got a couple of good boards,
...and I got married!!
Other than that, same ol' same ol'
Just for the record, I'm still in Singapore, the new boards are an 08/09 Fanatic Falcon Slalom 145 and an 08 Starboard Futura 122. The wife's name is Angela.
It's amazing what you can accomplish by giving up Seabreeze for a few months! You all know what I'm talking about!

Guys, I think I've actually found the best job for a windsurfer. Don't tell the whole world; this is too good to let out. I am now, officially, a DJ again (a hobby/job I started in 1988 but stopped about 7 years ago).
Picture this: as a DJ, you can wake up anytime you want, spend your afternoons either at the beach windsurfing/sleeping, or at home downloading music, burning CDs etc, (this can also be done at the beach with mobile internet), then when you arrive at "work" late in the evening, the first thing you do is grab a beer! And the beer is free! Then, after a tiring 4-hour shift (at $50 or more an hour) of playing CDs and drinking beer, you stagger to a taxi, and go home to bed!
Luckily most DJs don't have to work this hard every night, so there are 3-4 evenings a week to be spent with the wife, eating out or staying home.
I was making more money in my old job but I was pretty fed up with the 9 to 5 grind. (Even though I usually finished work at lunchtime.)
Whaddya think? Not bad, eh?
nice. do you factor the 4 hours of free beer into your pay equation ? Thats gotta be at least 16 pots at say 3 bucks a pot (yes thats cheap)..$50 !!! extra tax free a night.
Don't worry WT, old buddy old pal, we actually just had a small ceremony but there will be a proper wedding party at the beach in Jan or Feb, date TBA. All Seabreezers welcome - but you will need to drink a lot of beer to make it worth the plane ticket..
lets see now. Airfare to singapore about $1000 return? now if pots are $3 (yes thats cheap) I would have to drink 333 pots to break even. Any more than that is pure profit.....sounds promising..........will there be bourban ?
We are talking about Singapore here Techno. So you have to have your passport in order if you want to go and the government doesn't put up with any dodgy behaviour over in Singapore.
Good to hear an update from you Wet Willy. We have missed you.
I think WinTechno has been "moderated" again...
Hey WT, don't listen to what they say. Come to Singapore!
Bring us some drugs! Bring us some guns! Brighten the place up with some grafitti!
And please feel free to smoke on the subway! People will love you for it!
