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

Catherine Canino windsurfingOur Labor Day guest Catherine wanted to try windsurfing.   Usually we try to put people on a board for the first time in Davis Creek, which is flat as a pool table.   But the southerlies dictated Mecox (Yacht Club) so Ms C toughed out the bumps and managed a first reach of 20 yards (17 more than mine back in 1990.)   As per the usual experience, she thinks she did badly because she found uphauling a challenge, and fell a few times.  I think if we can get her on the creek for her next sesh we'll have her tacking!

    No Pierre. Sally has been windsurfing for 20+ years. Catherine is on a Fanatic AllWave SUP 9’2″ with a 3.5 sail.
