If you’re not in or following Windsport Magazine’s Fantasy Windsurfing league (like fantasy baseball, working from the Professional Windsurfing Association results) then you’re missing the fun. But you’re probably happy not to be crushed by me, as I rule! To be more precise, I’m in second place. Amongst people I know. But check it out…Pete Dekay is doing best amongst people I know and have sailed with, but he’s the gosh darn EDITOR of Windsport Magazine, and if he wins there’s gonna be complaints. Then there’s me! Looking good in position 110.
You can check out the complete results on Windsport’s web site. Below is my select list, along with some impartial observations:
55: Pete Dekay. Totally bogus…it’s his magazine/website!!!!!
110: Me me me me me me me.
151: Jon Ford. Jon always says something nice when he passes me. No doubt the same will happen here.
274: Christian. Christian says he’s still getting the kinks out.
386: George Marr. No doubt George is already on the phone to Pete Roesch giving him shit about leading him.
420: Radar Tom. Tom is enjoying every second of being in front of #421…
421: Mike Burns. Who’s King of the East now, Mike? Huh? That’s right!
677: Derek Rijff. Derek always finds fault in my technique (for which I pay him.) How do I look now, D-man?
686: Buddha Mike. He’s rearranging the collection of gods in his pickup this very moment.
702: Jill Marr (“#1 woman!" she points out)
723: Brendan Quinn. Brendan is too laid back for competition.
825: Dennis Grunbeck Dennis needs more time on smaller boards, but he's grateful for every sesh and happy to be in the running.
King of the east hey? Well this is fantasy. I didn't realize there were so many long islanders doing the fantasy windsurfing thing. This is going to make things waaayyyyy more interesting.

Weird dude... you seem to be oblivious of the #1 who happens to be in the PWA himself...

So you are, Rotorhead. No shame in that, though...Mike Burns is incredibly good (and our local champ.) Must be driving him nuts that I'm PASTING him in this contest!

Michael, What position are you in? Don't think you made it clear enough!

man, I can't even do fantasy windsurfing, let alone real windsurfing. time to pack it all in and go back to sailboats?

Ok, Team Burns is re-grouping and stepping it up a notch for the next PWA event. So watch out, Mr. me me me me me me, we're coming for you.
