"Yea but can you take a Hot gal in a bikini and a cooler of beer and stay out for hours and not get a cramp or charlie horse!!!! Sailboards are fun, but I still take the cat."

The Hot girls in bikinis are out there shredding with you (keeps them strong and lean)...the drinks are on the beach in the cooler because you can launch right off the beach at places they would never allow a boat to launch.

Don't get me wrong I love cat sailing...it can be a lot more relaxing...but when it comes to pure performance there is no comparison.

I first sailed a Hobie and Supercat for about 8 years before I got into windsurfing...at the time my cats felt blazing fast. When I started windsurfing I sold the cat. Now that I have another cat (Supercat 17, newer model of the same cat I owned before) it seems like I am towing a string of empty five gallon buckets behind me in comparison to the speeds I regularly reached windsurfing.

Both have their place...it is just a lot easier (once you acquire the skills) to go much faster with much less hassle for much less money if all you want is high performance in a wide range of conditions. It is much more physical sport than cat sailing ...especially when out of the harness surfing and jumping waves. While each sport has its "moments", cranking a forward or back loop (like I am going into in the picture)is hard to draw parallels with...its like trying to describe getting "tubed" to someone who has never surfed...words just don't do it justice.
