I had a 'blow-out' in the rear end of my wetsuit the other day
....so I...
...wore boardies over them!![]()
...I'm feelin' shame!![]()
Feel free to share...if you dare!
I was about 20 minutes drive from home when I realised I forgot to put my eye contacts in. Instead of driving back, I bought some green tape from the Peterborough shop and taped my glasses to my head. Not a good look but it worked really well.
Few winters ago, was coming full-speed onto the beach at Narrabeen when I decided to try a dumb move.
Fell on the upside board, right on the skeg which went across the upper thigh. Blood all over, lotsa stiches, and brand new full wetsuit all torn around the back side.
Damn the then-GF was aggressively unimpressed...
Lucky the doc that stiched me up was a she. It added to the experience.
I was walking so tight for a while, could have opened a bottle o'Coke with me backside...
Sorta did the same.
Took off on wave, got hit by back wash, landed arse first on nose of board. Tore my sluggo's and boardies, new big hole in bum and spent 2 hours in Manly Emergency getting 8 stitches inserted in arse cheek whilst giving all the staff a good giggle. ![]()
I was too embarrassed to go back so got my old man to take em out with scissors. ![]()
Funny that, I ended up too in Manly that time (from Narrabeen). Seems doing surfers' arseholes is a specialty.
Rigged up a sail only to have the mast fly out the top - no mast head pin thing on the webbing.. Apparently it had fallen out somewhere.
I found two screwdrivers in the car, stuck one in front of the webbing, one behind, and went sailing.
Stribo.. you ought to try a can of coke that's been sitting in the car for an hour and a half sailing session. Hot sh!t..
The sugar hits your bloodstream so fast it'll make your head spin.
HI my name is TC, and I'm an alcoholic....
Not really, but the worst thing I've done is gone out during a regatta, i was really late, heading out for 3 heats, Forgot watch, gloves, booots and water bottles. it was at SIR's last year, found a random coach boat (turned out to be michael blackburn coaching sarah blanck) and asked if he could help me out...That was embarrasing...Probably more embarassing was a cople months ago, out for a windsurf, marque over the water infront of the sailing club, marque is packed, most people watching me out on the board, came in for a carve gybe (still learning) decided..."I'm gunna nail this one".. Planted the foot across stopped the board dead in it's tracks, got catapulted bad, everybody laughed, too ashamed to go back in to the beach, so I went far out and kept going untill the sun was down, and stealthed it back in.![]()
This kid goes to confession.
"Father, since last time we spoke, I confess I wa...d a total of 9 times and a half."
Priest says: "what do you mean, 9 1/2 times???".
Kid goes: "bah, forget it, it's 10 now !"
usually on a windy day you don't hear things clearly but at chest deep water with buddies i decided to take off after a quick breather, but did they ever hear one loud fart![]()
got hammered by a shorbreak and stood up and my boardies had dissaperard. lucky i had me cool bonds undies on =D

i sail with a guy who wears boardies over his wetsuit(saw him try 2 sow them up with 20 pound fishing line to )but i wont mention names
There are some crackers there, nice to get a good belly laugh after work.
I saw an embarrassing one when I was sailing at the train once. There was a particularly hot babe that used to sail with us in a bikini (a rare and much coveted animal amongst windsurfers). Anyway she made a jibe on the beach but couldn't see downwind due to the suns reflection off the water.
From where I was standing I could see one of the other sailors head bob up just in front of her path and she ran straight over it. I was sure he would come up again with a fin gouge for sure and when I looked at him I couldn't see any blood but he had a weird smile plastered all over his face, which seemed very odd to me until I followed his stare to see the very concerned female sailor coming back to see if he was ok and noticed her bikini top had come right off.
We both decided after that the sight was well worth losing a head over.
