Ok we have had a meeting and We the people of Margaret river are implementing a new policy. If you drop in on someone then you owe 1 carton of beer to be presented after your session. Each offence = 1 carton. If a local drops in on a visitor then the visitor is to pay 1 carton, consider it local tax. If you are a pro sailor then It is one carton from each sponsor per offence.

I know your number and I will not hesitate to name and shame if I see you do it again.


Mate, in this day and age she probably know krav maga or maui thai and will put you out in under 5 seconds. I would just keep your knickers from knotting and stay cool

Then go home, log onto SB, so you can dox and then snipe at them from behind a computer screen in front of the entire online windsurf community.

That's not very chilled.

Hello all,
This is the girl with the G sailnumber.
I know about this post as people started telling me.
The only thing I can say is that I didn't mean to drop in on anyone and if it has happened it was not on purpose, I'm still learning. Anyway I'm open to criticism and you are very welcome to come and speak to me in person, on the beach. But publishing it online involving more people into the problem than necessary is not really fair I'd say.
So if you see me just come up to me and tell me!





This happened a while ago so I have gotten over it but looks like it's a thread with many views and opinions.
For starters Erdbeeren, thanks for the apology and no hard feelings.
For those that know me, I'm a pretty relaxed and chilled out bloke. I'm not one to voice my opinion in public especially with violence and yelling. I'd rather just shake my head in disbelief and get on with it.
But this particular day it was smallish, inconsistent and crowded. So for me I personally sail out the back and be the last person to turn around. Then as Im sailing in, others are also doing the same and lining up behind me.
This allows us to pick a swell and ride it in until it breaks. All good yeah?
But along comes the short tacker. There's a few waves in a set and you've just pushed everyone back. So I've had to slow down, let my wave go and now I'm stuck in between waves because the person behind me is on his wave. This is frustrating the first time because you've spent the time in sailing out the back, turn around and sail back in. You start to wonder why when a person does it the second time? And by the third time it gets pretty old. See the point?
Now if you are still following my rant you can now try and picture a big day at Margs. This is a pretty epic situation to be in as you are in limbo, come off the plain and have no where to go because someone has short tacked in front of you. Therefore the need for rules.
Anywho the only reason I had mentioned you in particular Erdbeeren is because you did it to me 3 times and you had sail numbers on. Like I said, you weren't the only one doing it. I had gone in and gone home by the time you came in.
Thanks for reading everyone. Be cool.
Greeny


I'm thinking love is in the air. Can I feel a bit of windromance happening here
I think you two should meet up for a chat and maybe dinner.
