Each to there own,

Been windsurfing for about 14 yrs, kiteing for about 3. I'd much rather kite now, the only reason that I windsurf is because I work at a lake and get the chance to go a lot. I get more of a rush from boosting with a kite than doing forward loops on a windsurfer.

As long as your out there having fun , that's all that counts.

Must be an arse carrying those poles around though

you could always ge the girls to dance round them on the beach

Not used a GPS yet but I used to enter speed competitions in the RAF at West Kirby. We used the BWA timing gear (laser gates with the reflectors on stands in the water) The course was set down the wall at 100m which gave you a some room to gybe at the run off.

I clocked my best run in 1996 (the last time I was there) using a Mistral Electron and a NP VX Ltd 5.8 in winds gusting 40 kts and managed 43.6 mph which is 37.9 knts. It felt fast but the flat water made it deceptively easy, you just prayed that you didn't spin out near the gates
