On Gear

Steve is a gearhead. He prefers to take on new sports that require massive amounts of gear–and when he’s collected it all, he finds a new sport. For instance, he bought a new surfboard. And then he started sailing and completely lost interest in surfing.

He also has one regular kayak, three whitewater kayaks, two mountain bikes, a small single-person sailboat, two sets of downhill skis, and four windsurfers (all of which feature hot pink as the primary color).

This tally does not include the other gear required: wetsuits, booties, rashguards, helmets, life vests, nose plugs, or paddles.

So yesterday, I ran to the store and when I got home, he was unfurling the sail of yet another windsurfer. Apparently, he traded one of his kayaks for it. But hey! It isn’t pink!

  1. He should open an ebay store for lightly used sporting goods. It might become a profitable little cycle….or at least less costly :)
