I have too many hobbies.
In summer I windsurf done that for 45 years. Started Windfoiling this year. Went pretty well and is fun to learn. But is not as easy as it looks.
Winter sports are Skiing, Ski Tourning and snowboarding. Though I mainly ski now.
I spend a lot of time in my workshop if possible.
Here are some of my projects.
A bamboo bike.
Or I build Skis and Snowboards
Plus lots of other things.
Longboards, Furnature, Van build with my Son etc.
Oh, leather work and photography are in there somewhere too.

Motorbikes.
Riding and fettling.
This is my latest project, a Ducati Multistrada 1100S that I shoehorned a 1098 superbike engine into and turned into a "Multistretta". 4 years work, including 2 years fabricating a bespoke aluminium fuel tank, but nearly double the power (~85bhp at the back wheel up to 162bhp/92ftlb torque) and about 20kg lighter...

Blimey ! Thanks for sharing... Took me 2 hours to read it all, what an adventure !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?
Photography for me. It started innocently enough and grew into an all-consuming thing that saw me nearly go full time. I ended up earning good money from sports photography, advertising and commercial stuff, and a lucrative line in private school events and brochure-ware.
I did 6 weeks in Brazil covering the 2014 World Cup which was amazing (but knackering). Here’s a daily blog from Brazil if you’re interested in what happens behind the scenes at a global event like the World Cup.
I’ve calmed things down a lot since then, and now photograph for pleasure, mainly landscapes up here in the north west of Scotland. Combining cycling and photography works well.

Looks like it's finally about to happen ..my football club set to end 14 years of misery with a takeover imminent .
Although overnight it will instantly become the richest club in the Premier League..I don't think success is guaranteed ..but give the club a few years and we will be challenging at the top end of the table ..watch out City , Man U , Liverpool ..we are coming for you ..
Howay The Lads ..
NEWCASTLE UNITED ( once again )
Edit : Sorry ..I can see why you are laughing Tony ..I got my facts totally wrong ..
Make that the richest club in world football ..enjoy they next few years while we play catch-up ..then it will be total domination

We might need some deets on that extreme machine. Looks like a few ponies in that powerplant
Cripes, I never knew these home set-ups were so effing dangerous… but fair play, no pride here, safety first

Ooooooooooo!
Nice looking set up! A buddy makes some space age tuntables. Super tech stuff. His attention to detail is unbelievable. Same with his ski builds. He'd be great on the forums here. He'd be all over the tech here.
Music and a decent hi-fi always been a priority for me

The problem there is that all of our money goes on the hobbies, so none left over for children.
