The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

Ned Crossley hit me with this link for the Hudson River Windsurfers web site.

If you’re a windsurfer in the area, check them out because they (according to the site:)

  • sponsor two learn-to-windsurf days each summer at Kingston Point Beach.
  • We organize windsurfing trips to East Coast locations including Cape Hatteras, Lakes Bay, Cape Cod, and others.
  • A printed newsletter is mailed several times per year to all members.
  • We maintain a members-only email list (reflector) on Yahoo! Groups.
  • We maintain a members-only wiki
    with links to Hudson River tides and currents, a list of upcoming club
    events, a photo gallery, list of stuff for sale, member directory, trip
    reports, and more.
  • HVW was instrumental in organizing and raising funds for the recent installation of three iWindsurf wind meters on the Hudson River.

And just like the Peconic Puffin, they have a map of windsurfing sites .    Check it all out!

    I met Ned in the OBX this year… he actually crashed in our house for a couple nights. Good on him for publicizing his club…

    I had just stumbled across that recently – too cool! One of these days I hope to be caught up enough with work to go home at a decent hour & have a good read.
    Sort of odd that we don’t have more windsurfers in Jamaica Bay. Seems like a good place for it.

    no, wait, that wasn’t it – somebody who windsurfs in the Piermont area has a blog! I bet he’s part of this group though. Rats, I hope I can find that again.
