(“…grabs the boom at WindSport” Only the finest writing will be brought to you by the Puffin.)

Pete DeKay is the new editor at WindSport Magazine. He is stoked, we are stoked, you should be stoked.

After years as an ABK instructor teaching thousands of students everything from uphauling to jibing to fin-first reverse monkey tacks (well, almost) he’s bringing his enthusiasm, tenacity, and great attitude to the windsurfing magazine (“My goal is to present windsurfing as an exciting lifestyle to keep people feeling young and alive” Pete told the Puffin in an exclusive interview. Friends of Pete will be happy to know that we have verified he has a desk and a phone in Toronto, but he would not reveal whether or not his home still has license plates.)

Pete and Andy Brandt are still working together, by the way…look for Andy’s article on looping in the new issue.

(Pete can be heard yelling me through the finish of a push tack) at a Bonaire ABK camp.
