Introduction - Scotty

Post by SWAScotty »

Scotty here - SWA was a spontaneous thought an acronym for Student windsurfing association.

Scotty in a nutshell : Southampton then Nigeria then back to soton then to Hong Kong then to the Isle of wight then to Bristol now split between Bristol Scotland and Isle of wight. 22 years old

Why i joined this site

Guns are there but lacking in Stamina -

Ergo 2Km time 7minutes 5sec - 18-24 stroke rate
Ergo 5km drifting around 19minutes (lack of continuous stamina)
5km treadmill - 19:40
cycling 5km - 9:40 but that's on those horrible Gym cycling machines who are designed Wide loads.

13 stone 3 and only 5ft 11 so need to get down to 12.5 ish

cheers Scotty

Hello Mr Scotty! Windsurfing? You ever done any racing with the UKWA? Theres a bloke in the Raceboard fleet who is with the Navy in some form, and there doesn't seem to be any problem. There's also a Tri-service racing series which seems mostly to be Formula, not sure about where/when those events are but I'm sure they mention them in Boards or Wnidserf. But yeah, I'm fairly sure theres opportunity to windsurf, I'm not sure about taking your kit with you though. I'd assume packing a 275cm board, a couple of masts, maybe a boom or two along with 3 or 4 sails wouldn't go down too well, but I could be wrong? I have wondered about it before, but does anyone else know more about this?

[edit]My English is awful!

Well compared to most friends i know who went on a gap year my locations abroad seem rather dull although i did live in those locations apposed to backpacking.

Part of the reasoning's behind joining the Navy is to get some cultural experience of countries abroad and with Argentina kicking up a fuss over the Falklands again one ceases to know where one will be sent although got to get in first :D

Fitness wise i had a shocker of a cardio session today just wanted to beat the toodles out of something. (no punch bags) I'm actually just looking around online for Boxing clubs to join in Bristol. Although England kicks of at Roo bar so i better get down to get my seat.
