I think I met the dumbest person in the world last week.

I was rigging up on the grass with my board next to me at Kyeemagh. A lady and her two young kids walk up and start talking to me.

"That's a nice colour, what is it?" the mother asked me.

"A windsurfer....like those", I pointed to the bay where a dozen other guys were sailing.

"Is it electric?" she asked.

"No, it has a sail....like those", again I indicated the other guys sailing.

"Then what makes it move?"

"The wind pushes on the sail....like those", again pointed to guys already sailing.

She looks at the water, thinks a while....then starts again.

"How do you get back to the beach?"

"I turn around and come back....see, just like them", I point to the water a final time.

"Oh, that's clever", she replies.

"Can we get one, can we get one!!", her 5 year old kids start yelling in unison, jumping up and down excitedly.

Arggghhhh!!!
