Chris,
I'm with you

DJ makes time for anyone that is interested in sup.
His posts are informative, witty, often corny, never malicious, entertaining and honest. That's why I read them.
I've known DJ for 25 years, back from the halcyon days of windsurfing and he was same back then. So generous with his time, always helping crew learn the ropes, giving people the shirt off his back [ well not literally, but he did giveaway loads of his used windsurf gear].
Yep, the Sup world is a better place because of DJ!
