NO DOUBT!
Nik Baker is a busy man these days; between running around after his two boys, managing the Baker Academy and being in charge of distribution for Fanatic, North and ION equipment, he still finds the time to hit the water whenever possible. But throw in a random call from yours truly to join me on one of my hair brained schemes to windsurf in front of the West Pier ruins and I was hoping not to upset his overloaded schedule with a wasted venture. So to be sure to nail my mission one hundred per cent, I waited for a forecast so concrete, nothing could possibly go wrong. Now, I am not one to believe in curses, superstition or anything like that, but after two separate missions both promising 30 knot plus gales, I was starting to wonder whether that darned shell of a pier really does have some sort of inexplicable power in that rusting metal chassis!
