Frank Messina died this week.  Out of the blue, totally unexpected.  A loved member of the Long Island windsurfing community, leader of beach cleanups, ambassador of stoke.   He and his wife Lauralee were crucial inspirations to me early in my windsurfing life…1993.  I wrote "The Legend of Frank and Lauralee" eleven years ago telling the story.   Frank was a good man…any day sailing with Frank was better because of him.  He will be missed.
