skate sailing?
Anyone rigged a skate board with a windsurfing rig? Can you buy these anywhere or kits?

Cheers advanced.

Speedsail boards
I had a look at some old photos of a french SPEEDSAIL ,and having some wheels and too much time last week,I couldnt help myself. Thanks to all the warnings about health risks from the windsurfers, I will try my hardest to be careful.
meanwhile, I did it. I got in a few hours each night and built a board.


2m long, 12"wheels. board is laminated with a top plank of19mm Tas oak with a maranti beam underneath. this was planed in the middle to give back a bit of spring. steering seems to work,probably a bit soft. we trialed it in the street with an Aerotech trainer 2.5. I suspect this may become the regular sail. Keeping in mind this is my first attempt at windsurfing since 1980 I was proud of managing 50m upwind and uphill.@ walking speed. Boom was too low ,being set up for my daughter( who did wear a helmet).

I do believe I have a fair bit of learning to do


Please note , lack of boardies over work trousers

what to do in this windless summer
As i sit here bored s**tless i wonder what else is there to amuse me in my spare time when there is no wind, i ride mountain bikes but that sucks in the rain, which it is doing alot at the moment or it's way too hot, the surf sucks here in summer so surfing is very infrequent, playing playstation is getting a bit boring, there are no windsurfing games to play, guitar yet satisfying for the 30 minutes before bordom sets in and it don't give me the rush i need, i've got heaps of hobbies like airbrushing, painting all the usual ones.

Seabreeze is entertaining for a little while but it's too eazy to click on that litttle graphs icon up there to the left, but as usual no wind, frastrated now and bored..

So the question is " what do you guys do to avoid the bored and frastrated times when your not on the water?"
