Reminiscing of better winds and how we all met

[mocean]

I all ways new mark, I herd he was taking lessons with some french dude.
my mate gave me a Naish 11.5 and a hammer directional board I gave mark a hail and he said I'll show you what I learnt.( and he did)2003
I first met roger and mateo and was amazed at how friendly they where.
then I met dave (tryed to pimp me on airush)and he was wind surfing.
soon to give that up .
over that summer I herd and watched dave learning, wasn't long before he got it.
I met shuman in amongst meeting mateo and roger.
and met Jason through dave.
I met rick Iossi over the phone once I hurt my self and over a year or so we talked and emaild and finaly met face to face at surf expo.
and rick set this forum up for us (3 cheers for rick)
it was mark that pushed us to get a school going and to get dealer ships on gear and so on.
then a lot of expat kites came and went.
there are a few locals we need to push.
toby Lunn and shelly, hammad, and crazy perdo (if he would ever listen)
anyways I just want to say I'm stoked to know all of you.
