Isn't it a joke that its June and everyone is frothing about 2011 gear. In all my years surfing - you upgrade when its hammered or you want a change.

Half the 2010 gear is still in the shop for 70% of the original "Retail price" and no one can sell a two year old wave board for 1/4 of the cost.

I just can't work out why the race is on for the latest gear at exhorbitant prices when the difference it makes to most of us is absolutely F**K all - except making us poorer or people feel inadequate cause they don't have the latest.

The longer I windsurf the more wanky the gear race each year becomes

Surely I am not alone in this!

Its alright I'll take my pills now and relax!!
