Dana Miller is:
A. The guy responsible for the “Cancel this, kiteboy” and “if it were easy they’d call it kiteboarding” bumper stickers,
B. The galactically stoked windsurfer whose writing and photography have graced New England Windsurfing Journal and Wind Tracks for ages,
C. The guy with the van(s) covered in windsurfing wisdom,
D. An outstanding windsurfing photographer who does some of his best work in the straps.
E. A long-time fixture in Cape Hatteras windsurfing mythology, now transplanted to Pistol River, OR.
F. A “person of interest” (as the authorities say) to The Peconic Puffin since it was a three-page newsletter back in the ‘90’s.
That's not a quiz…just my half-assed list o’attributes of Dana Miller. Dana who now has a website (well past time, bro!) at Boardheadinternational.com.
With Wind Tracks gone, NEWJ coming out only a half dozen times per year, and Dana no longer dependably findable down OBX way, the editors of The Peconic Puffin are stoked to have a new window on Mr. Miller. Bring it, Dana!
Awesome. You know, I was saddling up last week to go out on the bay and I stopped and watched, ...really watched the kite boarders (you win) getting ready. What a pain in the ass it is for them to get out on the water!

True, Joe...it's not like they can simply set sail and leave port or shore (or come back for that matter.) It's really a two-person operation that kiters have learned how to accomplish solo unless conditions trip them up.
Still, they're having a good time!
