On the Edge

Windsurfing is about being on the edge.
At the coast; on the surface of the sea; balancing on the board; hanging on to the sail; edgeways on to the wind; life or death without precautions against wind, tide and the freezing cold water at this time of year.
Not much sign of the ongoing Conservative Party primary election in Gosport, though I was keen to get to the beach at Lee-on-the-Solent. The radio announced it was too rough for the Isle of Wight hovercraft. So not having been out since July, I was in trepidation.
In the event the wind died down a bit, so it was rather a relaxing day.

  1. sorry but again your making these small but rather foolish mistakes you say "windsurfing its about being on THE edge" but common sense would tell you that if you are on the edge of a windsurfing board you would fall of it about being ON edge thanks
