i know this sounds a weirdo subject..but gotta tell you am pissed at myself sometimes for being such a jerk when the wind's up and i have made plans for the day after a long list of errands and work..yesterday was baaad..it was wifey's day off and i was scrambling around to get all the gear in place to load onto car not missing anything..then suddenly she wants me to accompany her for a "quick lunch"..kapow! my mind just blew off and told her to GO ahead and i will follow in 5mins(actually 15). cuz am busy with a lot of anger "why at this very @#$%@ moment!" my blood pressure was rising and when i joined her for lunch couldn't get to even look at her cuz i was lookin' outside and the trees were swaying bad and she was at a snails pace eating..my guts were pumping to tell here mentally eat a bit faster..! when she was done finally!!i just split the place and when i was done at the spot it just dawned on me that wtf did i just do..i felt good after the session and grinning so i called her and invited her to a movie and dinner..and just tried to make up for it by being softy with her..pheew at least it turned out a nice date....i just wish they understand why i become an fat arse once in a red sun...
Hey JP, never get angry with ya wifey, a good wind widow is hard to find, keep em happy mate 
Many a time I've nearly choked on my lunch, only to find when I get to the beach it's not that flash after all 
that's the worse part bob, many a times i end up on the loosing end with a grumpy wife and a pissed-off me only to find out it wasn't as windy as i thought it was...but now since the spot is close to the airport, i call the tower and ask for windspeed with gusts and direction so a 98% chance of good choice of board and sail...as you said never a dull moment...

am with you benny, i told wifey before tyin' the knot never ever try to stop me if am goin' sailing from 6am till 6pm (in a nice way). as for wifey told her you could do anything from 6pm till 6am..no problem! but there's this smirk still on her face and i guess just trying to hide that feeling...
or dig your grave quicker by trying one of these jokes;
How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it!
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine
will probably never be able to support you.
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them
to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me..."
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough
to build up the required pressure.
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told.
I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.
Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes
a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.
Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.
In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.
yer right on the last one! am kinda like mr. mom but with more responsibilities and i need a break i always think than none other...self centered? nope just need a wind fix...period...
Easy Nebs, told mine to give up work 15 years ago, chase her around spa in morning, go sailing in arvo, everyones happy 
Thems is funny HC, but I'm not gonna tell her those, I'll get lonely in da spa 
Hey haircut,
I just read your jokes and was wondering if your wife owns a shovel!
I thought I would fire a few jokes straight back at you...on behalf of all the windsurfing widows!!!!!!!
Why do me become smarter during sex?
(because they are plugged into a genius)
Why does it take 1 million sperm to fertilise one egg?
(they don't stop to ask directions)
Why do men snore when they lie on their backs?
(because their balls fall over their butt-hole and they vapour lock)
Why did god make men before women?
(you need a rough draft before you make a final copy)
What does it mean when a man is in your bed gasping for breath and calling your name?
(you didn't hold the pillow down long enough)
BCD's wife (who by the way doesn't mind how often he sails!!!)
Priorities JP !
Ask yourself, if you had to make a choice, which one would you rather lose....sailing, or your wife?
Simple, find the right balance - but the scales need to be tipped in her favour.
My heart goes out to both of you.
hi jo and rest ya i'll take your advice and them jokes are sure funny but when it's time to go i gotta go sorry...i repent afterwards and give her a good hug and the usual "so what do you wanna do am all ears", what a shabby line though
mr. no one just a comment true for your opinion but if you have another who can sail with you bloody fun...too bad i tried teaching wifey how to we always ended up arguing..i think that's the cardinal rule never teach wifey? true jo(surfinchick)? cheers
when the wind is blowing and the trees are swaying..........lunch is a tortured and unpleasant happening due to me looking at said trees.
my partner knows better after a couple of decades. bless her!
it's just an unexplainable addiction.
pheeewee you got me as your wingman greenleader! surfinchick got me thinking twice
but even in haste and a lousy rigged sail and wrong fin still is heavenly...now here comes the kiting i got one that can get me cruisin' in 8-12kts and it got worst..wifey's cool though as long as we attend really important social obligations then ok as long as the stuff is on the rack and ready to go in case i could get out of the gatherings...
I read all these post, and thought, I cant be the only one who's wife likes the fact I actually can go windsurfing regardless most days.
Then I read them again and so far yep I must be
Although right now wineman is pissing himself laughing cos he will be onto this like a flash and tell me he knows why and the price tag to boot
My wife understands, it's her friends that don't. They still don't understand why we turn up for a lunch in two cars. I'll head straight to the beach after the main course. I'll have stuffed up my first gybe while they're still gnattering over coffee...

Great posts - what a laugh
Yeah Mineral, got you pegged. Only just read it as I was out on the water til late yesterday
But.....did not answer phone (wifes work number) on Tues as I was rigging.
Got back in car (out of wind[}:)])..."just down at the Hardware"
It's just that thing...gotta do it

It's a hard one, windsurfing is like a drug and when the wind is up you just have to go. Having said that you have to keep the wife happy, because if not you will not be sailing at all.
I said to my wife I don't do lunches, it doesn't always work that way but I try.
I suppose the best thing is to get yr missus into w/surfing. I'm trying to teach mine, but she is scared of the rig hitting her, she doesn't like the water (cos it's cold), she's scared of sharks and she doesn't like it when it's windy ("it blows my hair everywhere"). 
Nah ya wrong mineral, mines happy too, she knows I'm a lazy b*stard, and windsurfing's the only way to keep me fit for jiggy jig
I can't afford a flash sowing machine mate

and, nu but made some flash as pretty pitchas to sew on
Calculatn, they must be the most spenciv pitchas ever
I'm with Mark here. Just go and sail. You're not going to lose anything you wouldn't lose anyway.
Is this the advice of a happy person?... no.
I think the wimmin should be gratefull that we are addicted to the sport,and come home with a smile on our faces(most of the time)unlike a lot of golfers and bowlers etc, who come home from an arvo of sport half carked! All of my ex wives understood the addiction ..for a while anyway!
