Hi Boys,
I have really been enjoying the last two months without wind, as I am no longer a Wind Widow
.
Hmmm any ideas on what I can get my fella to do around the house next

funniest comment for months
How many male chauvinists does it take to wash the dishes......... none its a womens job. God I hope my wife doesn't see this.
You could get him to sit down with you and watch windsurfing instructional videos with you and go over the finer points of learning to windsurf so when summer comes you'll be ready to hit the wind and water with him.
Dism it takes a special kind of women to windsurf.If she's worried about her hair getting messed up or breaking a nail you've got no hope.
How ever if she's an out doory type then you may have a chance.The hardest part is getting them to the level of plaining.Once anyone reaches that point in windsurfing they are hooked.Encourage them.But don't let them give up.Oh yes there will be tears and tantrums .Thats why it's better to get a friend or a professional intructor to teach the GF/wife.Thats rule number one.
You're a brave, brave woman Dizzy coming here to ask a question like that.
It's funny, my wife prefers to be a windsurfing widow rather than having me grumpy and hanging around due to lack of wind. Must say something about our relationship.

suggesting a wettie has been rejected I think (apparently they aren't trendy or something).
She's probably aware of your rubber fetish dism, and as you're a macho windsurfer she probably doesn't want to overstimulate you.
If the wind DONT BLOW , then perhaps a caring wife might ???? (if he mows the lawn)

Thats the thing my GF windsurfs too ...so double the gear.Although we do get away with one set of sails due to our wieght difference.She is not so into the techi side of things.Wouldn't have a clue.But she does get rather flattered when one of the pro's asks her what size sail she's using
Her mission at the moment is to get a duck jybe.
It is hard to get her out in the winter fronts.She had a big walk at crazy"s last year lolMore of a summer sailor i guess but thats ok..
When she was learning there where lots of tears and "i'm not doing this stupid f@$$@ing sport anymore" But then an hour later she was back out there..with encouragment of course.
Male or female i guess it just takes an "i won't let this beat me " attitude to learn it...
Dizzy does windsurf...planing, wobble gibing, caught my first baby wave on the inside of Lano last summer
P.S. Fitz66 -Who said you could leave the BBQ!?! Get back there & bring me a beer on the way
Me missus stopped windsurfing after having kids.
The family compromise was good: got an old 27' sailboat, that I drag a board onto. Sail for couple of hours, she participates, we drop anchor. Me mongrel and I go windsurfing, she reads a book and drinks wine. I come back, she's toast, I sail back home. (Interestingly, she does the kitchen in the boat!!)
Wind too strong and I go windsurfing all alone.
The expense is a few days of the year where I have to do boat maintenance and the value of a sailboat that should keep up. Everybody wins, and I get to choose my windsurfing spots, some of which I couldn't drive to.
Other than that, just not convinced that anyone should wanna get the missus windsurfing...
