Spring Windsurfing and Windfest

Rented out the Waverunners for the first time yesterday hoping the spring breakers would come out. Unfortunately, didn’t rent as many as I’d hoped for. I did, however, see a bunch of windsurfers enjoying the 15-18 knot winds. I tried getting some video footage using my GoPro while riding a Waverunner. Got some close shots but the chop bounced me around pretty good.

The last couple of weeks have seen good spring windsurfing conditions. It seems like every time it warms up the wind picks up, which is a combination I like. Everyone was out yesterday w/ a full suit and no booties and it was fine.

I’m heading down to Windfest on Thursday which is located at the Frisco Woods Campground. It goes until Saturday and is a great time to socialize w/ other windsurfers. If you’re new to the sport and you want to learn about the new gear or try out some of the equipment it’s a great opportunity to get a lot of information at one place and time.

I’ll be a vendor there with some of my long boards for windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. I’m also going to bring a Hobie or two. Feel free to stop by and try something out.

Until next time, get on the water.
