Thought I'd get this list underway. Zero knots here at the moment and not looking at all promising.
1. Buy new windsurfing gear.
2. Practice rigging new windsurfing gear.
3.......
polish ya fin.
(just spent 2 hours removing a board bag zip to get a new one stitched in)

I hope it's not my one I sold you S :)
No, I don't think those zips fail, another bag I've had for about 10 years, much smaller teeth and alloy slider.

But while I'm getting the zipper fixed I'm going to get the fin slot in the bag I got from you lengthened so I don't have to take the fin out to get the zip to do up.
5. Rig a mast and boom and go out in your front yard and practice whatever you want to do on the water.
6. The wind's rarely zero. If you have 6 kts Go out and learn some light wind freestyle and or teach someone to sail.

it was zero, but nice suggestions
Recently have been thinking about taking up kitesurfing when the wind is in the 5-12 knot range. The kitesurfing race boards are wide with bigger fins i think. Watched two guys at Melville plane continuously with not a white cap in sight. They getting going way earlier than a windsurfer in my opinion.

you need to get your self some free formula gear. its so cheap and get you going fast in 6-12 knots. 10m sail and a 100cm wide board. the old gear is good and cheap

9. Get your life (and lists) in some sort of order so that you can actually see what you're doing!!
eg- know when you're list is up to 101 things.
11. Spend time convincing your better half they are more important/special than windsurfing
Catch up on all the things you didn't do at home because it was great weather for windsurfing.
Alternately, rest up so you can take full advantage of the next windy day!
14. Go for a blat in the hills on the bike (motor or W/O motor, take your pick).

Rig your sail in the back yard and practise your forward looping technique!
would need a backyard for that, maybe a little breeze and i can go to the beach and practice. . . . need to find a nice beachfront house with a big front yard . . .
