Ok boys
You've been supping around hanging effluent on anybody who doesn't do what you do (wavesail) saying that we're all a bunch of Gaylords.
Fair enough, I reckon, I can handle the criticism, but can you guys??
You've talked the talk but can you walk the walk
I post a challenge to our northern Queen and Princess of SUP.
I'm pretty certain we should be able to provide a few members from the Faggy Daggy Mandurah mob to take on the SUPermen.
Here it is girls take us on if you dare
You guys Nominate a surf break in the metro area on a day which we can get leave pass's and not sunday for Greeny so it will have to be a sat.
Stage 1
We'll turn up with our wave gear and go wave riding with you to show we can.
Stage 2
Some of us may bring up some go faster gear, which if we can ride it out there, the open water masters (you lot) should be able to breeze riding
Stage 3
You come down to Hardies with your kit and try to crack a 31 knots
Stage 4
Then I'll put you on my Speed kit, it's good for 39 knots and because you guys are the all conquering watermen and flat waters for pussies you should be able to piss in 31knots
So there you go lads, time to put your money where your mouth is
good challenge, maybe you could put in place some sort of scoring systm to see who comes out on top, flat water dragsters or the wave pigs!
It would be like the inter-code football comps they used too have. What do you reckon?
Tricky bit would be coming up with a good scoring system between the 2 disciplines.
OK scoring:
A "Success" in the waves would be one of the following:
1) Forward loop (sail away)
2) Back loop (sail away)
3) 3 cutbacks on the one wave
A "Success" on flat water would be one of the following:
1) Beat 31 knots on the GPS dial
2) Beat 28 knots nautical mile
3) Beat a 22 knot Alpha
The team with the most "successes" (percentage of team members who achieved it) wins.
Sound fair?
Sherlock Elmo, can u show me all the posts where i have hung sh!t on anyone or called them gay?
thanks for talkin me up, man ![]()
I dont windsurf to be competative but if it makes you feel better you would beat me at everything.
Give the sup a try, you might like it![]()

How can you tell the difference between a wavesailor and a speedsailor after one of their sessions?
You can't they've both got smiles on their faces![]()
I'd be up for it ..... dont know about the forward and back loops![]()
but the rest sounds ok.
Cracked 30.(something) on wave kit the other day ... and it was nowhere near 30knt winds.
i'm up for it Scarbs big day light winds not into a comp thing though
just a prize to see if you can get out the back![]()
Stribo I stayed quiet cos I love wavesailing and it is waaay better then speed.
I didn't want to add to the arguments cos I love you all, and didn't want to make you all feel inadequate: I did 36kn on the river in 1992.
Furry muff.
BUT it WAS bumpy, honest.
No but seriously I always thought going back n forth was boring but recently I took out a Carve123 (not a speed board I know) in a bit of wind and it was fun.
Given enough $$$ I would probably buy some "middle of the wind range" speed gear I reckon.
I would like to try the GPS when on wave gear too as it feels fast sometimes and I'd be interested to know how slow it really is ![]()
Looks like Ive upset the puppet
Is this for real? Sorry Elmo
Seriously![]()
Im also the non competitive type. Just like Mark said I love wavesailing and its better than speed.
Im up for a wave sesh together anytime! Scabs sounds the go! Lets tear that place apart! Im sure you cant wait to smack some lips. But then again you are a booger![]()

But as for the speed thing I wouldnt want to waist your time. I couldnt think of anything more boring than going fast
Imagine all the waves breaking without me on them
I dont know if I could go through with it. I couldnt do it sorry. My balls are smaller than yours![]()
Decrep I don't think it was quite that bad? I can only see his mucking around with Jordo in the Quatro thread about 2hrs before your post and there is winks all thru it.... unless it has been edited. maybe i missed another one
