No More Excuses
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2020 12:01 pm
Hey everyone, oh boy its been forever since I logged in.
``quick and dirty then the long version after``
I'm looking for gear. I accidentally took 2019 off and subsequently lost a ton of weight. I've been using the fact that my old gear doesn't fit me as an excuse to not go out.
I think I can still get some more time out of my harness, but I def need a new wetsuit. Anyone got a full body 4/3 (or thicker) womens wetsuit in like a M/L that they aren't using? If you do also have a harness, I can go with a S/M. Also on the wishlist, booties. There's a chance I could get into a few men's M's maybe?
``LONG STORY``
I already posted on the ladies FB group asking for stuff a few weeks ago, but no reply. I have no shame in asking for used gear, I'm broke AF (thanks new car) and its better for the environment to re-use things. Yes, even if its a wetsuit, I don't give a crap. I'm old enough to know better that a used wetsuit isn't going to kill me.
I've lost about 60lbs, its fucking trippy. For the 1-2 times I did get out last year, my kites definitely rode larger. So that's cool, I don't have to buy bigger kites. (what's extra trippy, is that when I started my new found water hobbie back in 2006 (hi jane, hi rebecca xoxox), I was 100lbs heavier than I am now.) One memory me and and the girls always recall was when I first started windsurfing, I had to email and ask "hey I'm a big girl, are you sure you have wetsuits big enough for me?" they reassured me they did and the rest is history. But wow, and here I am now looking for a smaller suit.
I was also using my strict sleep schedule as an excuse to not go out. Oi, saying that when I go kitesurf I end up getting back home too late to get my shit done before bed. It's about time I start kiting Crissy (maybe?) Also having a busted car last year was another reason I was 'meh' but now I got a fancy new car (with no kitesurfing sticker now![{}[]](./images/smilies/emoji/e413.png "Kinda Sad")
) I can go places now.
Anyways thanks!
