The Peconic Puffin

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

AnneAndyLHThis is so wrong, again.   Andy McKinney, who I knew as an Outer Banks windsurfer and fellow waterblogger, has passed away.   He leaves behind a wife, young son and young daughter.  Here is a link to his obituary.

We met on the web, commenting on each other's windsurfing blogs (his was Lost In Hatteras.)  In 2008 I met him in person on the Outer Banks, and did again in 2009.  Warm, friendly, great source of information (and with gusto!  "Ignore the meters…you can get some at S turns right now!"

My condolences to his family and friends.

    I met Andy at his shop over 10 years ago. I showed him the freestyle fin I was shaping and he said “woah, now that is a wee fin”. It took me a second to catch on that he meant wee not weed. RIP Andy, may your family be healed from your loss 🙏
