Zeev asks...
> why do you like to windsurf???
I hate to admit it sometimes but I think for me it's mostly the
challenge that gets me going. Windsurfing is always, always
challenging. You're always competing against yourself to learn
something new or do something better. I haven't encountered any other
sport where there is so much challenge in attaining just the basic
proficiency, not to mention expertise.
Windsurfing has a good thrill to pain ratio. Water is a lot softer
than concrete. You can get a lot of speed and a lot of air without
losing a lot of blood. I like adrenaline, but I don't like fear;
there's a fine line, and for the most part windsurfing keeps me on the
right side of that line.
Water is just fun. It's fun to play in. I like getting wet. I think
that's pretty much a prerequisite for windsurfing.
Finally, I really hate to admit this one but I'm a total gadget freak.
I think most windsurfers are, especially South Bay windsurfers.
Windsurfing is an incredible outlet for technophilia. It's quite
possibly the most geek-friendly sport ever.
> and finally, would you rather have sex or sail???
Well now that would depend on the conditions wouldn't it? :)
