Travel/Europe/England, United Kingdom 1999

There is a small green island in the north of Europe, full of nutters. It is one of the smallest countries, yet it has one of the highest population densities on the planet. It has a world wide reputation of violent hooligans, not least in these times but back in ye olde days when it virtually enveloped the world with a tight-fisted, colonial super-power grip.

It's fingers have long since retracted bringing with them hoards of all sorts of diverse people with different beliefs making this country a museli of different cultures, yet retaining many die-hard traditions, whilst staying at the forefront of modernism and change.

It's the proud inventors of fish 'n' chips and Curryoke (where you can sing and eat vindaloos at the same time.) Some weirdo also invented cricket, the most inexplicable game on earth. It's most famous export is the Beatles and most famous import the Royal family. It's population gets radically over-excited about having a cup of tea. In the evening from eight until eleven o'clock, we cram as much booze into our system as inhumanely possible. At weekends the work populace explodes into mini-skirts and fashion shirts, transformed from desk jobs into raving nutters.

Are you a British windsurfer? Answer these questions and find out.

Do you ever wear a skin tight rubber outfit in public?
Do you strip naked in public car parks?
Do you wear a padded accessory to this rubber outfit, which you strap tightly around your buttocks and refer to as a harness?
Bonus question for a mental certificate; do you strip naked in public car parks in January?
If you answered 'yes' to only one question, you're not an active windsurfer. Might be a canoeist. If you answered 'yes' twice, you might be a windsurfing enthusiast, or maybe you've spent too long in Brighton. Only if you answered 'yes' to all four questions can you truly consider yourself a real old salt, British windsurfer. And you should be proud of it. Even if your mates think you're nuts, your boss thinks you're nuts, your wife thinks you're nuts and windsurfing shrinks your nuts. Sometimes we even think you're nuts.


UK Tour, tuition and test drives with Cribby

For the last 3 years Shawna and I hurtled around Britain on a mad spree of tuition at all the leading shops and clubs. Carrying with us a full demo package of kit from JP and Neil Pryde, we taught three hundred and eighty of you nutters, carve gybing, footstraps, harness, waterstarts, stance and tuning, we spent over a thousand quid on fuel, ate over sixty burgers and hot dogs, drunk an unprintable number of pints, rigged and de-rigged over three hundred times, and used more public toilets than most of you will do in a life time. We can safely say we're nuts too.

We're doing it again in 2002 with tonnes of demo kit from including widestyles and free style boards and no cams sails of all shapes and sizes. Visiting even more shops and clubs all over the country so that we can come and help your windsurfing skills improve and have a 'great laff'.
