Mercifully, I did not have coffee in my mouth when I read the priceless line "For some reason, my thirty-fifth attempt to sheet in was successful."

Begs the question what is an intermediate windsurfer. Depends on whose scale...if Robby Naish is advanced expert then I'm just a beginner at the 7th power. For me, an intermediate windsurfer can pivot jibe, tack, hookin in both straps, plane in 4th gear, sail away from many almost carving jibes, do some free style, and water start. Et vous? Being a skiing professional, out of a million skiers less than 100,000 are expert, 700,000 are beginners, and that leaves 200,000 intermediates on the Ned scale if you really really know where the skill cut lines are. So as an "advanced beginner to some mythical power I have lot to learn. Ned Ian, another epic! Begs the question what is an intermediate windsurfer.
