All the money in the world hey...
Well I'd be buying the chicks in WindWarrior and the Grinch's avatar for a start...
then get them a lesson or two in how to rig my brand spanking JP Bro Edition 79 Rad Wave with matching Pryde Alpha/Combat combo's
Already got the schmick 100% carbon wave masts and booms so that could be money spent on teaching the avatar chicks the fine art of beer chilling and belly dancing (at the same time)

it's nice to dream.
full quiver of Naish Boxers and Sessions.
10 100% carbon naish fire sticks,
streamline extension and bases.
3 Neilpryde X9 Booms,
Custom boards, from quatro and richard greene, one pure hard core wave board with heaps of rocker that has a sole purpose of turning on a wave, a new schoolish wave board kind of like the 05 70L starboard acid. but custom, some bull**** freestyle board to mess with on flat days, and another hard core wave board but with less rocker for faster more drawn out turns, A couple of those twin fin and thruster boards to frig with.
Fins i don't know..all of them so i can find out what works best with the board. the drake fins seem pretty good.
and pryde harness. 3d waist pro.

and then i'd stick it in a F250 with a driver so that he can follow me as i drive my bugatti veyron to the beach. or a big arse chopper that way i could go explore and get to the very best most remote spots.. also a big arse 150ft yatch, sail powered. so i could sail to mauritius and cabo verde, and reunion and everwhere in between. oh yeah..
or maybe a different yatch. i don't know that much about boats. maybe a 75ft would be better but i bigger boat handles bigger seas right??

Greg Normans boat (well ex Greg Norman)" Aussie Rules" cos we don’t want it too big.
All me mates to go play with, cos no good playing on ya own.
Severn and Ezzy sail kits to go around, cos I like the way these guys run and set up their business.
Everybody gets a a couple of boards of choice, so we all get a play and compare.
Reckon the rest of the suppliers would be throwing bits at us cos of the profile we would set. "WINDSURFING FOR THE AVERAGE DRONGO" no gun sailors
And free tickets for mates who want to go home, n come back when they want.
Permanent bookings at "all" the wind spots world wide.
The rest we can make it up as we go
Oh forgot, couple of lackeys to rig, de-rig, and clean gear, we cant be bothered with that stuff, too busy just playing full time.

Also forgot "chinook everything" cos they Kicked in on this forum a while back to help sort out some gear One of the few that was keen to help

A full quiver of Tabou Manta's for slalom/speed 49, 59, 67, 74 & 80. Red Gaastra Vapor rigs for each- 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.6 & 10 each having mast/boom/base.

Fanatic Freewaves 77 to 104 with Blue Gaastra Poison's 6.2, 5.3, 4.7 & 4.0 Mast/boom/base for each obviously.

A full set of Elite Select Fins.

Oneill wetties.

A Starboard GO 185 for fishing, mucking around in the light stuff and for the kids.

Plus a couple of kids rigs.

All to go into a Black Merc LWB Vito and a 50 foot catamaran parked at my waterside house.

I think that should do me, you can have too much gear and choice.

Grinch, with a quiver like that, you would get to the beach and then spend the next two hours trying to work out which sail to rig and board to ride!

Spoilt for choice, always confuses me. I find it hard enough with three boards and four sails.

Once you have the range of gear to cover most wind ranges, get the van set up perfectly so that you can spend weekends and holidays travelling up and down the coast...sailing, camping, eating and drinking beer with great friends.

Ahhh...I love summer.

A pit crew that knows how to rig and fine tune my brand new gear ON DEMAND !!!!!

when i get home from work and arrive at my beach house they should know what sail to rig for the winds present and i should not have to carry all that shiny brand new gear to the beach !

As much as i would like to have 10 sails and 5 boards and all that. I think thats just to much choice and you would spend so much time deciding what to rig and what board to use, and not actually get out on the water quick enough.

I think 4 or 5 sails is perfect ranging from 4.5 to about 7.5 (any more than a 7.5 and you shouldnt be sailing). And then say three boards, 75L, 100L, and a 115L. All top of the range 2008 gear ovcourse and i would also like a pit crew to rig all my gear for me (seems i'm virtually like that for my brother and my dad already).

Well, I have a well used KA Koncept6.6, just taken delivery of a CarbonartSP44 and am waiting on delivery on a Time Machine fin. My dream is to be able to sail the kit at something like its maximum potential.

The above scenario wouldn't be a problem, coz you would have sent your rig wench down an hour earlier to rig all your sails and have the boards prepped ready for you.

Then when the wind lobs, you arrive fresh and ready, to grab whichever combination you feel like. If it doesn't feel right come in and mix and match till it does.

Then when the wind dies, or the sun goes down, come in an grab the frostily cold beer that the rig wench has waiting for you, down that while she unrigs all your gear, hop back into the limo and head home, or out to dinner, or too the pub or maybe all three.
