“There's no cool factor in identifying yourself as being a windsurfer”
Sadly true now but not always so. In my yoof me and my fellow nerds thought that chick doing the head-dip on the Miami vice credits was super cool.

I live in hope that one day I’ll see that move repeated at PA or in a Lawrence Lim video.

That clip is awesome!    Miami Vice never gets old!

There's an early episode where Sonny and Rico are working undercover on some Caribbean island, and a bartender asks them "are you guys here for the windsurfing tournament?"  ..but aside from that, I haven't seen any actual windsurfing in the show,  and I've almost finished Season One...

(This is not exactly relevant to the topic, btw... )

Yeah man! And dining table too! For a family of 4 people comfortably!

Can double up as Majong Table? 

the best stuff i ever used was citrus based bicycle chain degreaser (Pedro's i think? any other brand will do, as long as citrus based & get it in liquid form not spray). only a tiny dab is need and since its not harsh it works on the board, your clothes, skin, sails etc. bonus is that you come out smelling like oranges
any bike shop should have some.

rest is of course kerosene, wd40, gasoline (ugh).

the old manamana in bintan used to have a huge drum of degreasing fish oil for this purpose,  environmentally friendly but smells awful (board smells like belachan after use).
