BUGGER

Question: What do you do when you are working at a windsurfing resort and there is a constant 18 knots with flat water?

Answer: Ask the boss if i can rig up his 7.2 Neilpride RS5 race sail with a 100% X9 Carbon Mast and take out his custom carbon slalom board to see if i can break the speed record at the resort.
Obvious really isn't it.

Question: How do you tell the boss you snapped his 9oo euro mast in half while rigging it.

Answer: Really quickly and 5 minutes before he is about to leave on holiday for a couple of days....

The big man took it quite well considering. I thought he was going to make me his whipping boy for the remainder of my time here but his only response was ''dude thats a 900 euro mast'' which i replied ''was a 900 euro mast''.

Enough said.

Haha I can't believe you managed to break it after all that talk of how much it was worth! Oops. At least you're still alive to tell the tale. Hows Lanzarote without your girls to look after the cocktails? We almost decided not to come home hehe xxxx
