Ladies, are you still searching for that special someone? Consider looking amongst the windsurfers:
10. The ratio of men to women is 4 to 1.
9. They can talk about something besides football.
8. They don’t smell too bad because it’s a good bet they’ve gotten wet recently.
7. They have another interest besides sex.
6. You know they’re rich enough to afford windsurfing equipment.
5. You always get the latest weather report, several times a day.
4. They are capable of commitment, at least to their sport.
3. They have no issues about wearing rubber.
2. You always know where they are, at least when it’s windy.
1. Windsurfers are generally fit, tanned, and have cute butts.
Non-windsurfing men should NOT...repeat NOT...pursue windsurfing women, unless they are prepared to immediately throw themselves into the sport. Otherwise such men will be surrounded by angry windsurfing men who all seek the great and rare prize: the girlfriend or wife who windsurfs. To squander such a find on a landlubber is an offense to those of us who sheet in!
(There is the opinion held by a small minority that it is a drag to be a man whose significant other windsurfs...you probably have to rig for them, they use your equipment etc. but generally speaking the willingness of such wahines to make every vacation a windsurfing vacation, to understand why the garage needs to be packed with tons of expensive wet gear etc. outweighs the rigging/sharing concerns. Discussion of such matters is encouraged.)
HA HA I like!

I am going to steal this for my own blog if you don't mind.

Don't forget:
11) Ladies, if your man isn't home during the day, you'll know where to find him.
12) He'll be on the water so often won't have time for anybody else besides you.

I am impressed that you had the discipline not to mention "windsurfers do it standing up". That would have been tacky. I am glad you didn't say that one.

Adam, this is a family publication...my father in law reads it (Hi Russ!)
I like Ian's...perhaps they can be worked in to the 2010 model.

I think you could substitute "Kayak" for "windsurf" & it would still work! :D

oh...with the notable exception of 1. Kayak tans are some of the stupidest tans in the entire range of watersport tans.

Bonnie, you should see the "booty tan," the otherwise well-tanned individual whose feet are blue-white. I imagine the kayak tan might include tanned upper thighs but otherwise very white legs?

Oh, my. This is so funny! Date a naked swimmer: no tan lines, no equipment, no worries. Just remember to flip for even tanning. Oh--do you windsurfers not like sharing space with swimmers?

It is great to be a windsurfing wife! Special gifts, like ABK clinics, choice of boards by color, endless sail choices, pre-rigged of course, Bonaire vacations,and for the record, we both have cute butts! - life doesn't get any better than this!

Kayak tan for a sea kayaker is actually basically a 2-armed trucker tan. In the summer. Although the legs do get some sun on lunch breaks, etc. Surfskis improve things greatly but then you totally get the booty tan!
This time of year, we're all working on what I call the siamese-cat tan. Brown faces & hands...
