lotofool,
The intent of an April Fool's joke is generally to fool another. Since everyone knows you're a fool already you haven't fooled anyone you fool


[hard not to read this in the voice of Mr T]

BTW - what's "convereted"?

I get the feeling lotowind considers himself clever and funny, but every post I've seen paints him as a bit simple. I bet even kiteys can't stand him, which might explain why he's over here all the time.

Lesson 5
Remember that windsurfers are very serious and busy people. Never approach one unless you are properly prepared.

Lesson 6.
Sharing is very important for windsurfing community. You should feel honored if one of the windsurfers express willingness of sharing your girlfriend.
That gesture not only could speed up you acceptance but also we may consider " CONVERETING" of your girlfriend to proper water sport.

Pity you but that doesn't work the other way. So anytime you will see you this need to change a tack and sail other direction

Lesson 7.
Windsurfers are very practical people. You may be asked to upgrade your car if appear to be inadequate to carry your master windsurfer gears.
We could definitely offer free advice on the range of vans that fit our requirements.
On occasion when two or more windsurfers allow you to carry their equipment in your car , may not be room left for your gear and you will be asked to utilize your kites for a moments.

Don't be too harsh on lotofwind.

He hasn't had much luck lately on the business front.

He recently started his own tourist bus company, but has had some issues with branding.

Lesson 8.

As for practical lesson on the water , obviously no serious windsurfer could afford to waste a time on tenderfoot like you when wind is blowing.

But we could send a dvd or link to Youtube , that you could watch a half standard instructor price ( say$200/h) till you master all our tricks on water.





if you order private lessons our instructor will keep aye on you all the time

You may feel your gender would exclude you from this type of windsurf lesson, but fortunately Julian (an ex-kiter who also was convereted) offers them to the newly convereted - glove free!

If you do succeed in becoming a windsurfer having come through the convereted route, you have to wear one of these so you can still talk out of your ass.

Lesson 9
All advanced windsurfing courses for " convereted" kiters finish with an exam.

You will be asked to text and send complete Sea Breeze topic while windsurfing with your iPhone.
Including selfie photo of course.






Upon initiation to windsurfing community you must cut your kite with scissors and consume the lot including lines.
Ketchup allowed.

Lotofwind, I'm interested in your gear. What's the size of your board? And the kite?

Just to explain, I'm buying it for my son who works on a gas platform, so it's complicated...

You send me $140 to cover the postage, then I'll send a courier to pick it up and dispatch it for Nigeria, then he'll send you the money for the gear....providing it's not leaking

Still thinking ? Don't
Here is as a warning picture of another kilter that just sold cheap his kite, throw away his boardies
but didn't passed advanced course for "convereted"



Now he can only watch his mates having fun, with nostalgia
