God damn you, I'd love to be able to afford to do that. I've been windsurfing a few times and it's one of the most fun things I've ever done, but the sailboards themselves are so damn expensive, it's nothing but a pipe dream for me at this stage
No joke, they are expensive! Keep in mind, used gear - best gear. After 3 years, it works just fine, but it costs a quarter as much. I'm riding a used board now I bought for 100 USD, and it's ace. I hear pipe dreams are more expensive, especially the crack kind.

I've heard kids get in the way of the sport. On a related note, I plan on keeping it wrapped for a while. That being said, don't lose hope! A lot of my heroes have kids, and they find a way to get out on the water and keep ripping. Some of them are even French -

Honesty deserves honesty: this could be the most heartwarming thing I've read in a while.
Thanks for all the comments. I haven't tried any more doubles since that Saturday. That last crash messed me up something fierce. To quote the guy following me -

Doctor's visit incoming. Fingers crossed, wood knocked, rabbit foot firmly grasped. That reads sexually. I'm sure the appointment will be less provocative.
