Silver it is! And what a bloody boring sport it is too… :?

They should just ban all these stupid sports and stick to football! :wink:

While watching the last few hundred meters I thought to myself… what the fuck are they doing? Just leaning off a stupid piece of fiberglass and probably thinking…

“Look at me, look at me! I’m leaning off the board and now I’m gonna lean on the other side!” 8)

How interesting! :lol:

Congratulations to Pavlos and the Cypriot Olypmic Team.

That puts the mighty Cyprus above Greece (2 bronze) and Turkey (zero medals :oops: ) in the medal table.

Just you try it, one day. On a decent reach in decent blow the adrenalin rush can me massive....and you have to be fit to sit out like they do for extened periods of time on the wind-ward legs of the course. Then you have to learn to read the winds, tides and currents.

Well down however to Pavlos.

I wouldn’t climb on that stupid thing if they paid me! I think one needs to be a little child-like to enjoy such activities.
