Why are all the really blowy days in winter (retorical question, not smart answers required Cheesy

)?? Its cruel! Last time i went surfing this year was the 1st of November, my cut of point! I spose it does act as an extra incentive to keep the rig up, but in hotter countries you have sharks for that Grin
