Desperate plea for help...


Anybody in the Gold Coast area, I'm in need of a ride to wherever windsurfing is happening. I'll happily pay for all the petrol...even junk food as well!


Anyway, I'm generally available to sail all weekend and a couple of days during the week, depending on my work schedule. I'll be in Australia for the next couple of months at least. So go on, be a pal - text me (Andrew) on 0416 471 572

Well, If I wear my seat harness at all times, they can't interfere with my bottom...that's the real danger with kiters, right??

For the love of God, somebody, just make a little detour and pick me up!!! And my board and just 1 or 2 teensy-weensy sails!! Think of the little children starving in Africa!

If your really that desparate why dont you ring up and get a taxi?

I did it once before i got my licence. Called up asked to get a wagon as I had luggage. Taxi turned up the driver said " you goin to international or domestic terminal mate" i said "neither just take me and my board to the beach!" Easssssy

How about getting back afterwards? And where did you put your extra sail, empty sailbag, etc, while you were in the water? Clothes, phone, etc? A taxi would be an absolute last resort I guess. I'll have faith in the willingness of the Gold Coast windsurfers to look out for one of their own...

That's the spirit! That's more like it!

I'm geting ready to slash my wrists watching the trees thrashing in the wind outside my window...

Wait, did you say WA? That's...a little bit of a drive away...

Thanks anyway, bro!! Apparently WA windsurfers know how to treat a visitor!!
