Yeah, if the boats would only catch fire after one of those, then
sailing could replace NASCAR.

Skinny guys make such awful ballast and counterweights....

My car mechanic has a big Hobie Cat. I've been drown on it a few times.

He claims my fat ass raises its speed a good 8 to 12 knots on a windy
day...(c; I did get dumped overboard, which caused an immediate nasty
broach from lack of counterbalance when my "ballast" parted the harness
halyard. When he came back around to retrieve me, he looked as white as a
sheet until he saw me laughing so hard I could hardly swim to the boat...

I want to try sailing one of these:

Maybe - If you could build bleacher seats on the water and sell lots

I've seen one in action. They look seriously strange coming at you
on the water.

I also like the hydrofoil jetski:

"What's the problem, officer?"

"You were running 40 mph through the no wake zone."

"I wasn't producing a wake, officer. 'No Wake' isn't a speed limit, it's a
state of the water."

Look at the video...there's no wake at all!

They mentioned 3X wind speed upwind: lets see: 12 kts of wind makes

Hey stupid. There is no such thing as a no wake zone. That's only half the
statute. The whole statute is "Idle speed/no wake." Now wake up and think

There was a hotel out in Vegas that was going to try to set up an indoor
windsurfing course and offer gambling. Don't know what happened to those
plans.
