windsurfer or windsurfed?

The general consensus is that it is WINDSURFED
Taken a blow = winded

thanks

It isn't "taken a blow" it's "takes a blow"

Yes - sorry

The point I was trying to make is that the clue is not past tense

Yes, This has bothered me too. Ideally I would have said WINDSURFS, but of course this doesn't have enough letters. I actually sent the puzzle off after having entered WINDSURFER - though I wasn't happy with it. A lot of people seem to be having trouble with this one.

However - If one TAKES a blow then one has been WINDED?

I'm a bit confused here Dandelion. Have you sent off the puzzle with what you believe is the right answer and given someone else a different answer. Or given someone what you now believe is the right answer thinking the one you have sent off is wrong. What do you now believe is the right answer?

After due deliberation I submitted mine as surfer - it seems to me to make more sense that way.
