Chris, Chris. I know you can't really help it. You and Shane are just lonely boys trying to make friends. It is quite obvious that you have slipped into a fantasy world. This is probably caused by isolation that has brought on severe depression and delusions. My advice is to seek medical help as soon as possible.
As a matriarch of lady sailors and a representative of GPSTC I feel it is my duty to try to steer you onto the right path. We don't want to lose you to the dark side. This talk of kiting in budgie smugglers really worries me.
I have jotted down some of my ideas. I hope they help
You mention discrimination laws but I see you have included no female sailors on your list.
I am impressed by your uniform ideas and pink is good for proving that you are in touch with your feminine side but I am not sure that other boys would enjoy being dressed in pink or understand your reasoning. if you insist on having a uniform I believe that all Lycra uniform would be a best. You only have to look on our roads to find wonderful options for your uniform. It won't be too expensive either as you probably already have a Lycra top.
I am not sure I understand all the talk about jellyfish.
In reality I feel there are only a couple of options open to you (forget about getting the cool kids to join you, they never will! )
1. Find some other sailers with no friends and ask then to join you
2 offer lessons to non windsurfers and sign them up as soon as you can
3 give up and join another team
4 Consider finding another sport where you will have lots of friends like football or cricket
5 get psychiatric help
Anne, thank you for your kind words and advice. We have been very lonely since we have been injured and have had to sit on the beach and watch all the other kids go out windsurfing.
We are aware that there were no women sailors included on our list, this all comes from the chip that we have on our shoulders. It all started when we decided to go to the gym to get even more buff than we already are. But the girl on the counter at the local gym said that we were not welcome at Fernwood. So we decided that if we cant join Fernwood then we were going to play their game. It does make sense though, SWAT not being allowed to join said establishment, as there would be women fainting all over the gym as the SWAT team pumped some iron... It is a stigma that the whole team is working to deal with. We are seeking professional counselling.
The problem with Lycra is that there is too much wind resistance. Over the summer the whole team has booked in to get full body lazer hair removal. It is steps like this that really set the SWAT team apart form the rest in terms of commitment to the sport. This should ensure that 2014 will be the year of SWAT!!!
