First had a go on a windsurfer
out in Goa, India, in 1985. Then thought about it for a while and
started for real in 1990 after moving to Worthing. Seriously spoilt
living 2 minutes from the beach and being able to see the sea from
work. Then for some insane reason decided to move to Bristol in
1995. After all it looked like there was loads of water near by.
Then discovered you can’t sail on most of it and found the
Nomads. Miles driven for windsurfing increased dramatically.
More often than not to be found at Axbridge on a JP-Xcite 130,
but occassionally on a Mistral Syncro 104. Also still have an old
Fanatic Cat which still comes out to play sometimes.
In 2008 did a Start Windsurf Instructors course and now helps with
T15 Axbridge Animals.
After all the these years still can’t carve gybe consistently
and remain firmly fixed to the water. But hopefully you can teach
an old dog new tricks.
