Just to follow-up on another post I started, had the best compliment, and worst insult today...

After receiving the compliment....and pretty pumped about it, kissed the wife and kids goodbye as they hopped back in the car from the beach, told them I'd be home in an hour or so, (just had to have "one more run"), as anyone that knows me understands..."one more cast", "one more minute" (when on seabreeze).

Anyway was about to walk back out into the surf when an old guy (fisherman), wandered up to me and asked, "Hey mate, looks like you're having fun out there, but why do you wear the GIRDLE?!?" (harness, obviously), and followed it up with, "and shouldn't it be around your gut, not up around your armpits?!?"

My last run wasn't as enjoyable as it should've been.....totally deflated!

word to your mother....

don't worry just a stupid fisho. Just like all the standard questions like:

is it cold? (middle of winter on the bay - of course its f*ckin cold!)
aren't you scared of sharks? (well no cause you guys had fished them all out...)

he wouldn't be too happy if you were a kiter and slammed the kite on his head, he should be lucky.

One day I was at Crazy Waves on the most insane day ever... maxed out on 4.0 for ages (anyone who has seen me will know it is bl00dy windy when I'm on 4.0 ). Half mast coming both directions in classic Crazy Waves style.... double mast plus jumps were the order of the day. Faaark yeah

Wearing a steamer in all black, with my black Gath helmet on. Started to rain hard so I put my tinted (black!) visor down. Came in for a break and some old geezer on the beach:

"You look like a spaceman. You young people... mutter mutter..." as he walked away.

he thought I was out there just trying to look cool / good / whatever..... felt like grabbing him by the throat and saying "mate this sh6T can seriously injure you if it goes wrong......it is not lawn bowls"

so so deflated hahaha

and the next line is..........?

So Sailhack, what was the compliment? Nice cleavage?

You should've stayed at work

Word to you mother

Boardies rashie and a waist harness don't look stupid, it's when your wareing the gath helmet (including Visor) seat harness, life jacket gloves and booties, all over a steamer in mid summer is when you look stupid. or same helmet seat harness and budgee smugglers...
You may laugh but i've seen both more than once, but more often than not holding a bar attached to a kite..

It's about 2-3weeks away from boardies/rashie season here(can't wait), could possibly be in them now (I'd have to HTFU, though!)

I must admit though, I did have the wetty, harness & gath(no visor) on, (sailing by myself and not familiar with waves......my excuse!)
