Windsurfing on Recall Ballot
Wed Aug 27, 5:05 PM ET

SACRAMENTO (Rueters) - The California Secretary of State said today that enough signatures have been gathered to recall Windsurfing. Analysts say that the poor conditions for the last couple of seasons has generated sufficient discontent to motivate the recall movement.

Windsurfings strongest challenger in the polls is Golf and he has come out
swinging. In a statement, Golf says that he doesnt need the money, and
that he only wants to the best for California. Rumor has it that Golf has
some undisclosed skeletons in the closet, and is well-known for being far more addictive and more of a time and money sink than Windsurfing. Candidates Tennis and Bridge are being encouraged by Golf proponents to drop
out of the race to avoid diluting Golf support.

Emerging as a replacement for Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, has thrown his hat into the ring. Quoted today, Kitesurfing says that he opposes the recall,but if it passes, that voters should cast their ballot for him. Sure, its not really surfing youre really just dangling from a pair of lines, but hey, if its light, youre still getting a session. He also said that he provides to only real viable alternative to Golf. Everyone knows that Golf isnt really a sport, its just a past time. Besides, Golfers are all just a bunch of fat guys in bad pants, Kitesurfing said.

In a speech the other day, Windsurfing was defensive and defiant. He claimed that the recall is all a conspiracy of Golf and his opponents, and the poor conditions of the last couple seasons are not his fault. How were we supposed to know that the boom years of the late 90s and early 2000 wouldnt continue? Its not my fault that the North Pacific High hasnt built in consistently and provided the consistent sailable conditions of a couple years ago. And whats with all these guys trying to sail on 5.0s every day on 80 liter boards? Its not shortboardable every day folks. Under Windsurfings leadership, total sailable days have declined from a record surplus of sailable days in 2000 to a cumulative deficit of 30 billion skunk days in 2003.

A random sampling of reactions to the recall taken at a local windsurfing
site ranged from Huh? to But it nuked yesterday to Im rigging me up a
beer.

The field is a crowded one with over 130 candidates including Surfing, Mountain Biking, and lesser known candidates such as Watching the Weather Channel and Self Gratification While Surfing the Internet.
