Windsurfer:  "Hey Mike Burns, where is your legendary secret launch for practicing freestyle?"

Mike Burns:  "The Training Grounds?  If I told you I'd have to kill you."

Scene, 2014

Windsurfer:  "Hey Mike Burns, where is your legendary secret launch for practicing freestyle?"

Mike Burns:  "The Training Grounds?  It's on the Long Island Windsurfing Map.  Only freestylers end up really liking that place anyway.  Short runs and no swell/chop in site :-) "

Damn right it is!   Thanks to Dima for suggesting the addition, and Mike for sharing the spot.  "Training Grounds" on the Long Island Windsurfing Map.  If you've got a windsurfing launch you'd like to add to it, post the details and we'll add it!

(Here is a photo of Mike Burns, showing off freestyle chops that requires places like Training Grounds to perfect.  He is a ridiculously good freestyler.  I hate Mike Burns.)

    I heard a vicious rumor somewhere. that you need a freestyle fin there also because of the unexploded WW2 ordinance lying on the shallow bottom of the training ground.
