Back in the old days there weren't any instructions or you tube videos,you just had to kind of try and figure it out for yourself.
In most windsurfing deaths a lifejacket wouldn't make a difference ,but it is wise to wear one anyway.
Helium inflated shorts were soon outlawed in freestyle competition as it was considered an unfair advantage...methane inflated shorts are still quite common.
After keel hauling was banned, strapping to the sail without sunscreen was the preferred method of torture
That looks like some photo shop to me, someone holding up the rig on the other side and then placed on a lake back round picture. Pretty creative. Looks like there are some lines holding him up as well.

The Lord:
"Well son, I don't know how to tell you this, but there is just something about you, that really pisses me off."

PFD police resort to shooting. "Flagrant flouting of the law will not be tolerated" said Waterways spokesman.
Well it's been a week and for actually delivering a legitimate LOL moment, Decrepit takes the win.
Nice work Mike.
Next time I should read the instructions but I think I'm pretty close in getting this windsurfing thing.
