Disclaimer: If you are one of the lucky windsurfers that doesn't need societal conventions like Fathers Day to justify windsurfing indulgences, you are still most welcome to post.

For me, perhaps for the first time ever, there's no kit that I'm hankering for. I might cash in my Father's Day brownie points for good old time-on-water....

Actually me also :)

A bucket hat and boardies for the forthcoming season would be plenty.....

How about a weather forecast specifically for windsurfers that is actually correct. So we don't have to spend day after day standing around in freezing cold water waiting for that 35 kt forecast wind that never comes.

If its a gale warning it's generally for offshore..if it says strong wind warning for Sydney Closed waters we might be lucky and get 20-30kts at Budgy..

I bought my own FD present this week from a fellow SeaBreezer, another sail to add to the collection. Sail was dropped at EGo freight depot in Metro Sydney at 12.30 pm Wednesday and got a call from my local EGo depot at 1.05 this arvo to say it was ready to collect. That was a 1,743 km trip. You gotta be happy with that.
