RE: [WindsurferOD] Wally crusiing tips

yeah windsurfing in black leather jackets and pants and studded belts could
really catch on.
"Windsurfer one design, the Harley Davidsons of the sea" They are both slow,
can't turn, old design, pulls the chicks (big time!),heavy ,difficult to
pick up after they have been dropped (still talking about the boards and
bikes not the chicks!) and apparantly very popular with the gays. The
similarities are uncanny.
