What windsurfing things have you been doing during your Corona distancing/time out.
I've changed all my boom ropes.
Just sanded of my deck grip to re do the grip (board is 4yrs old) I'm not going to bother re doing the paint.
Went for a sess with my son
Got some repairs to do but kicked a ball round the yard instead
Found a 40mm split on rail of my favourite board.
Replaced boomhead rope n had 2 fun sessions one 9.5 ( me +1other wsurfer 4 kiters) n solo 8.5 blast.
I like to congratulate people when they do something different and exciting , Even boom head rope replacement deserves an elephant stamp 
Started chatting to my board maker about 2 new boards. It's been a really crap year for me and this just reinforces to me what's important. Breathing and windsurfing have equal importance for me and a few new boards will just keep me doing both for a bit longer
Put a hole in my only sail (5.8 Atlas) two weeks ago. Brought a second hand Severne 4.8 & 5.6 S1 along with a brand new 400 Gorilla mast all delivered last week. Don't think I am going to use them any time soon...
On Saturday I did a lap of one of the Islands (Green) in Moreton Bay on my Raceboard

Please help !
Had a putz about today in light wind.
Oh, and I drilled a hole in my boom clamp handle for the inhaul to pop out so it lies flat in the cleat and is easy to keep tidy. (Severne wave boom.)

Pissed off my summer wetsuit and booties...
Ripcurl treatment....
I misread that, I thought you were breaking in some new ones
I've had a good look at the current condition of all my gear (which is a significant amount) and worked out what I might need to replace over the next two years and I've been shopping online big time this week. There's no doubt that at the end of this the exchange rate will make the price of gear possibly extortionate and out of reach which will in turn reduce demand and possibly result in less retailers, thus resulting in less supply and choice. And that's not taking into account any impact on the brands to be able to actually keep producing the range of gear we currently take for granted.
You might think there is a large range of used gear available on SB buy and sell but it's funny how little there is when you are looking for something specific in your favoured brand

Sucessfully
giving it away for awhile till all this **** blows away, don't want to risk an injury that requires me to go to a hospital emergency ward. Will stick to flatwater supping if I can get from carpark to beach without breathing some ones second hand air. More than the usual amount of people out and about walking jogging riding on the footpaths around the peninsula here. There is going to be some fit people around in 6 months time.
In Florida all the beaches are closed, but many of the non-beach parks are open, but we still have to go in small groups and stay socially distanced. Since the parks have not been crowded, this has been fairly easy to do. As a result I have been able to get out for some windfoiling on a lake where I am the only one out there. Our sport, if we can get out at all, is the quintessential social distancing.
They would like to curfew us all at home, but there has already been quite a bit of rebellion in this state. There was even at least one mega-church service in a large close group on Sunday. The pastor was arrested. They should also arrest the several hundred to attended.
Been doing a repair on one of my Raceboards. Bought a airbrush and paint off ebay and this is the first attempt at matching the colour by mixing paints. Now to redo the tiki symbol
Was really fortunate to get 10 days wave sailing in WA in Jan & some pretty top conditions at home during Feb-Mar.
I've gone into rehab-recovery mode and taken the opportunity work on some niggly body issues that always come from too much sailing. Happy to get healthier for what may come after this period of isolation.
I'm going to round off the tips of my FFs so they don't pick up stuff with dredge starts.

Been foiling 5 days out of the last 6 :)
We all envy you right now! We have good wind currently here, but air temps are still too cold. I'm hoping the weather will hold true for next week, then it will be doable.
emptied the van, going to reorganize it, add some lighting, rust treatment/revention
also painted bits and pieces bright pink so I don't forget them at the beach

That's one hellava steep driveway 
Guessing no water run of issues ?
