I have talked to a few forum lurkers that need some "help"

We have been using acronym"s for our locations that some can't understand.

Please help with this list and maybe a better title for this thread.
And maybe administrators can make this a "sticky" or anouncement to keep it at the top.

DC IB= Deer Creek Island beach
DCSB= Deer Creek sailboat beach
DCDS: Deer Creek DarkSide Beach
DCCB: Deer Creek Charleston Bridge
Dream Scape= area by cabins east Strawberry Reservoir
Grants or G-Ville= Grantsville res
Lindon = Lindon beach, Utah Lake
MM19 = Mile Marker 19, Utah lake
Monte= Monte Cristo
PBH = Provo Boat Harbor, Utah lake
PM or Pow Mow=Powder Mountain
PV= Pineview
Saratoga Springs Park, Utah Lake <=> Pelican Point, Utah Lake

I'm still new to this whole 'online' thang.... but I thought PM meant private message.... like when all the hot kiter chicks send me secret messages of what beach to meet at.

And I thought Powder Mountain was Pow Mow.

Here's some others that I have picked up from my wind riding guru's...

OB1 = the kiter who masters his tricks that day.
Skunked = long drive for bad wind
Pole Boarder = Windurfers that moonlight at Southern eXposure
Moonlighter = both a mid night session and/or a night time side job.
Flapper = Large chunk of skin that has been dug out yet hangs from the body like a hinge... typically caused by nails from pallet fires at ULSSB.
Choad = a board that is wider than it is long.
Captain = a nice way of using an insulting name for 'that guy' that thinks he runs the beach. " aye aye captain!"
