fear not, fellow sailors. I've got a simple idea. After general discussion ceases, we'll just start a new funny images thread in kitesurfing general.

That is truly ingenious idea
Kiters will smash themselves to pieces.
In a week or two this group on SB will be closed too
What a saving on Laurie server.
Nobody looks there anyway ...or even suspect that such group exist at all...

you could start with 9/11 demolition- success guarantied, than a bit about Covid , and the war must be too ...

Flat Earth will be last on your list
before Lauri patience run off again
and shut you down

Then you are all free to go winging instead of kiting!



Altought Funny Images in Kitesurfing section suits perfectly







Look it must be a lot of wind up there ! Mum ! Daddy is flying high !

Be a shame to see the general discussion disappear. Pretty poor response from the posters with thousands of replies who use GD the most, mocking the platform that gives them a chance to express their ideas. Hope admin keeps it active, can't blame them for being sick of the horse****

I hope you aren't talking about me? People seem to get bothered by my post count for some reason. I like the platform. Hopefully you are talking about the ones that seem to want it closed.

But it sort of makes me angry the people that use the GD group, and then are happy it is closing. How does that make sense? If you don't want it, don't look at it, and in some cases, if you don't like it why are you posting in it? That makes no sense at all.

Then there's the ones that don't post in it at all (one guy with one post in all his history?) and are seemingly appalled by the discussions. Probably the ones that complain to the mods about it. Are they not able to not click on threads and not read them? Sometimes this puzzles me why people like this don't use something but are not smart enough to not read it...

Hello world

Its kozzie here

Just wanted to say thanks for all the years especially thanks to laurie and anyone else behind the scene who has been helping seabreeze kick along.

Ive never reported anyone but have had i dont know maybe a few accounts banned i think enough where people have assumed i was someone i wasnt. **** sometimes i read some posts and think **** me did i type that half comprehendable drunken tirade with zero punctuation? This giant wall of tex of merlot hued verbal diarrhea that smells like rollmops and ogorki but yet somehow swims like a chicken with a stone ductaped to one foot. Anyways ive been by and large very inactive since 2017 ao if you think youve been talking to me it was just some other wanchor its a bit hard to talk **** on a computer when you live in a car and dont have a computer. Even tho i dont use this forum anymore i still think its a real shame to just start removeing chunks of it and im aware i can be banned for ban evasion by admitting i was kozzie which was banned sometime back for saying **** or tits or some nonsense too much like honestly i pour concrete for a living its a miracle every second word isnt ****n tonguepunch or something anyways lozzar thanks again for the good times but i hope you realise this gentrification this posting a council sign at the beach entrance saying this and that will not be tolerated isnt a solution. If the problem is people crying about other people then what you really want to do is build a circle and arena and if 2 muppets have a problem let them have it out in the circle and if we can watch then even better. The problem isnt that your being used to referree the problem is that they want a referee first the thumbs then heavy now this. What do people do at football games and sitting at home watching the game do thats in common?! They all bag the bloody reff its just humanity at work and you cant change it to easily. Ice hockey solves this. Let them take the gloves off. Ive mentiones this before and ill mention it again laurie on paraglidingforum.com they HAVE to use full real names hat sorts the dickheads out straight up ive been a member there for over a decase and i have barelt any posts on it at all but i use it all the time for research. I know im a dickhead and i know its a valueable resource so i button up and do the 2 ears 2 eyes one mouth deal and shut up and observe and learn.

So i propose if you want to talk **** about **** then create a new section where real world ID is requires and displayed when you post. I can probably dox everyone on here already anyways honestly. So in this new world order if you cant handle the heat then stay out of the Bitchen!

Im pretty sure im the only ukrainian on here so im cashing in my current social credit scores on this one if ya remove this post then your as bad as putin huyu

The "eww look at your post count" dig is just stupid. Everyone on a forum should just read and not post? The place would be empty.

The narcissistic and censorious know no limits. "I don't like it so it has to stop because I am unable to just not comment or not read it". Let it go, or just grow up.

Pearl-clutchers who used to write to the broadcasting standards authority because there was a booby on the telly and it all has to stop. I'm literally shaking. Unacceptable.

It depends...some people are so polarized, they can't even consider any sort of accord on anything, regardless of their equal contribution to the exacerbation of previous arguements.

Well, pfffft, I think one thing we can all agree on is that it is "arguments".

"Argue" with an e is the verb but the e gets dropped in the noun "argument".

Just sayin'.



oh yeah, forgot again, sorry ..... has anyone got any advice on rigging a 10.5m2 sail for wave sailing in 45 knots

Are you are pulling the string.?
But you are in lucky now.
By a chance I still have 12.5m2 sail that i never used.

Can be yours for small fee.
Something like 1 coin will do and mast is free.
BTW I mean bitcoin of course.

It is actually perfect for wave sailing but you need to choose your terrain wisely.

Due to the high of the mast 5.6 meter your wave should be at least twice as toll.
Not many places like that in Aussie.
Are you Tassie?
for example that one is too low for you...go higher

And don't worry about wind...you are protected by the height of the wave

I hope...

but I never wave sailed
According to science wave should serve as shelter from the wind


experiments conducted on the beach
confirmed that
any obstacle protect you from the wind.

( and sand getting into your sandwiches)

Maybe the closure of GD has been sparked by Carantoc's impending Starlink service.

Probably easier to close it down than filter it at warp speed.

Presumably copyright on all the posts on Seabreeze belongs to Laurie.
So we can look forward to a coffee table book on the wit and wisdom of Macroscien and Carantoc.

Place clew side of sail towards wind, preferably with tip of sail windward. This is generally best practice for size and conditions you explained.

Surely this all started with the catch and release of the fish forum and digital's dolphin recipes. before, like a former Neighbours character, he moved to New Zealand where there's no means of contact with erinsborough.
