The ‘haughty’ sophisticated John Kerry likes to wind surf. [If Kerry believed anything he says he would use a sailboat to travel to all the idiotic “carbon dioxide is a deadly pollutant” get togethers. He would also have to travel on land by electric vehicles, recharged by solar, wind, or nuclear power!]

Yachting is considered a very sophisticated sport with lunch at the club afterwards.

Why are the waves blowing one way and the sail blowing the other?

Waves are going in the wrong direction, or the sail is.
