Reason to Hate Bill Barber

6a00d8341c890753ef0147e180a52f970b-500wi

"20 knots – 80degrees – small surf – 9.5kite & surfboard & 3 guys out-small craft ad. today & tomorrow-c'mon down boys-no rubber necessary-peace-bb"

This is not a real invite to join Bill in Puerto Rico.  Bill's purpose is to create bitterness and envy.  CD says I should be positive, but I'm going with b & e.  Also some  seething.  I hate Bill Barber.  Hulse too, if he's down there.

🙂

Actually I'd be down there in a second if my arm worked.   I'm hoping to try the ragged thing soon.  In the meantime, Bill send some new photos!

    So your friend Bill is taunting us from PR and the Tillerman is bragging about heading down to Cabarete. Life can be so cruel!

    Wow, did not know PR was a windsurf destination. What town/beach are you at? Rental gear, or bring your own? Thanks!

    I didn’t know that people as old and fat as Bill Barber could windsurf. I thought he retired and moved to a nursing home.

    Bill is an active senior. A few years ago he graced the cover of the “Senior Sourcebook”…we dutifully reported on it.
