How to Judge windsurfer speed/angle in the waves
To kiters who have windsurfed I need more help. I know we have covered this before...
But yesterday I was struggling again to judge the angle and speed of the windsurfers relative to the wave lineup. They sit their like stuffed ducks, you have to pass them with your consistent speed, you crank upwind, get on the wave, then presto there's a wind surfer behind you (well in this case kind of, it was a 50/50 call really).
I was already on the wave, well and truly trimming down the line (hence was upwind initially of him), he started in the whitewash of of an already broken wave, then he scooted across the wave, bottomed turned and started shouted obscenities at me. Like you Fn dickhead, open ya Fn eyes ya moron, that kind of thing.
I am really struggling with the fact that they do have such inconsistent speed (this is a function of windsurfing and the technology I know that), and the whole lets go to south africa before I tack in. It is like they expect you to also sail to the horizon, when you don't need to?
I respect the differences and came in and spoke to a kiter who used to windsurf for years to get some advice. Just wondering if anyone else can shed some light on this as next time someone talks to me like that it will be on like donkey Kong.

boring
you are all boring. where is the seabreeze of old? The fight club style beating up innocent enthusiastic noobs? Is there too much wind or something? too many protaginists gone... the spruce goose, sans, boyo etc. there is no humour now, just information about kiting.
BRING BACK THE BIFF
anyone want to PM nude photos to eachother?
