36, still a full head of hair and less than 1% grey.

Windsurfed on and off around 7 years in NSW. That probably adds up to one or two years in WA windsurfing years.

The 18 year old honey who lives up the hill said I would "pass for 45", or maybe that was "piss poor old guy". Not sure. Batteries flat in the hearing aid.

<10% (99% beard)

12 years

Resuts so far are only approx, thanks to some dubious responses;
Average age about 44/45
30% grey haired/balding
12% kidding themselves that if its really short its not grey.

Overall attitude about 16.5 years of age.

Keep em coming, where are you bubs, and bring some mates.

I am just an ageing psychopath who tried his hardest to keep trying hard....I miss having the time and the energy to travel and lug all of the stuff and shoot the s**t with the legends at Jacques till all hours, the spa parties at Josh's, the Marsh, the Van Der Toorn, the tobes...I just miss the times that defined the way we viewed the world based on our own and the experiences of like minded others. Windsurfers are some pretty talented people and I get so annoyed that the old farts that ran the sport when it was popular did nothing but take and in turn s**t in their own nests. I mountain bike now but it is coma inducing compared to the rush of bearing away and working that fine line between lift and airborne.....

Colloidial minerals works for me too.
1- buy coloidial minerals.
2-recover silver from minerals.
3-sell silver.
4-buy Viagra.
5-Hair goes grey but if you are still alive you couldnt care less.
