When you don't care about the car racing anymore but you're happy to watch Jessica Yates talk about it for about 3 hours.

When you think you're old


Nah, no one thinks they are old, we are all 20 at heart. Body though is another story.

When the hardest part of your 3hr windsurf session is getting your wetsuit/booties on/off.

I was talking to someone recently and they mentioned a 60 year old car.. I thought cripes that's old! Then I realised it's the same age as me..

Heck, my first car was a 61 year old model. Well, 61 years today, a 1959 Triumph TR-3. No, I bought it used and drove it until I got rear-ended while driving to physics class.

When you don't care about spending $3k on a new board or over $1,000 on a new sail because you know your sailing days are numbered

When you buy "Netball Tape", Glucosamine, Magnesium, Quinnine, Meloxicam and Panadol Osteo in bulk. Own a spare knee brace, use a 3' step ladder to get your board on and off the car and still use a sail with; "Made under licence from Hoyle Schweitzer and Windsurfer International" printed on it. No $(-)1T. Sad but true.

When two windsurfs on the reef in one day and therefore four return trips down the cliff make you wish the council would put a geriatric lift in.

After a bump and jump session, followed by a speed session in 25 kts, you can't sleep despite being completely knackered.

Bad news revisiting a session as you try to go to sleep..PS- I know what you mean about trying to sleep as you get older..

When I discovered taking 5 grams creatine mono phosphate before sessions really boosted my strength, and taking it afterwards kept me from getting sore, and the next day when I was sore after an epic session taking it again and the soreness going away! When I was young and got sore I suffered through it!
