Slippy Non-Slip

First off, I tried to be a ¥real¥ windsurfer and sail barefoot. Now bear in mind I bought the Axxis off Al. Do you think
the board spent most of its life unused in a garage, or spanked freely on a daily basis? Quite. I was like a duck trying to land on an
iced-over pond. Couldn¥t even ¥get a grip¥to waterstart. So resorted to the trusty boots, and once again all was well in
the world.
You're right Andrew, the non-slip on that board is pretty much non-existent these days. I always used to put surf wax on it so that I
could sail bare-foot. It doesn't look pretty but it does the job... I cleaned it all off when I sold it to you aso that it didn't look
quite such a mess.

No worries... I have a real problem anyway with putting my feet down in the sea where I can¥t see what I¥m treading on. Girls
Blouse or no, the booties suit me just fine!
