Dear windsurfatlanta.org,
While I do appreciate it, your post on April 1st is proving to be problematic for me. More specifically, the photo of your new "valet" has caused me grief both at work and home. When I am at work, every time I visit your web site (not often, I admit), my boss and colleagues think I am visiting por... ahem, adult-themed web sites. Likewise, when I'm at home, my wife snaps jealously at me. She's convinced that I don't windsurf, never have windsurfed and will not in the future. The whole sport is simply a charade to ogle "valets".
If you kindly could remove that image, it may save both my job and marriage.
Sincerely, An anonymous and occasional visitor

Dear Anon,
While we are not ones to cave under the threat or pressure of censorship, we are sensitive to your dilemma. You are not the only one to take issue with that post. A number of club members have accused us of having been less than completely accurate in depicting our new valets. They've arrived at the park expecting something from Hooters and feel that our actual valets fall short of that standard.

To assuage both your and their concerns (something about two birds one cup stone). (ed. note: If you don't know what that inside joke references, please for the sake of all that is good, do NOT look it up. Seriously.), here is a photo of one of our actual valets.

On a related note, as part of our new professional valet service, you may be required to answer the following questions before our staff allow you on the water:

• What time do you plan on returning?
• Who are you going with?
• Are there any responsible adults out on the water with you?
• Has it been at least an hour since you've eaten?
• Have you done all your work due tomorrow?
• If it's cool, is your wetsuit heavy enough?
• If it's cold, are you wearing a hood? We don't want you to catch your death of a cold.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
