And so, that about does it.

This forum was created 20+ years ago for people to have fun, helpful discussions and make friends. It was created to create discussion. An overflow for people who loved Watersports, to discuss occasional light banter non-watersports questions.

Unfortunately, it's now just creating fights .. the absolute opposite of what was intended.

And so, it's time to say goodbye to Shooting the Breeze.

Like Heavy Weather, we've given the community it's own chance to sort itself out, but as is evident from posts in this topic, that's not happening, and so it shall be closed.

Unless there is some amazing turnaround, we will soon remove this from the "Forums" menu (you can still find it via the navigation hyperlinks at the top, or book mark it), and then it will be closed entirely.

Thanks.

The winner of the caption comp that is still outstanding... ?

You don't need to remind me.

I know I am outstanding.


...also... will a 2kg mast with 59% carbon make me sail faster than a 1.9kg mast that has 60% carbon.

That's just east coast surfers. It's why I gave up surfing 20 years ago and stuck to sailing.

WOW, the boss asks to play nice and the HW crew do the opposite.Definitely time to pull the plug on General Discussion.

Oh, Karen. If you don't like something, why don't you just . let it go.

Obviously we/somebody could create carbon copy of seabreeze on Facebook.
The continue discussion there.
The problem is that on FB you need befried somebody and here it looks everybody fight anybody else. You could not subscribe your enemies on FB.
Somebody should invent Hatebook and make fortune even greater the Zucker.
There are more enemies in the world and hatred every moment.
But wait. There is still room on Virtual Metaverse. There you could have even avatars actively kicking each other. Laurie could now copy paste whole SB general forum there

Too late Markie, Kamakazi wants to keep it going

Imagine there's no kiters
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Keeping all their limbs... Aha-ah...

Imagine there's no forums
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no wingdings, too
Imagine all the legends
Windsurfing in peace... You...hoo

You may say I'm a charger
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And seabreeze will be as one

Imagine free boards from Mark_Australia
I wonder if you can
No need for buy & sell
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the winners
Shredding all the world... You...hoo

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will windsurf as one

It's nearly as sad as when James James stopped his guitar lessons

Life just won't be the same without a quick scroll through the Funny Images thread every morning

Image without comments has always been the rule since it started many moons ago.
But some still thought their comments were above the rules But the mods always deleted them pretty quick
