Joe's Beach at Heckscher took too much damage for an event
to be possible next month. Here's the word from Mike Burns:
"Hello
to all the East Coast
Windsurfing Festival racers,
freestylers, paddlers, tossers, spectators, formula guys, schloggers, crashers,
splashers, bobbers, buoys, officials, judges, and sponsors.
It's with
great sadness that we have to officially postpone the 2013 East Coast Windsurfing
Festival at Heckscher State
Park until 2014 :-(
Unfortunately
due to damage that the park took during Hurricane
Sandy our usual
windsurfing launch at Field 7 is currently unavailable for use. Since our
usual beach will not be ready, the event has do be canceled for this year.
Don't worry though, it just gives you more time to prepare
yourself for the 2014 ECWF!!! We'll be back in full force for 2014 with
all the fun of the past years and then some! I'd like to thank you all
for the support for the event over the years and we're really looking forward
to holding more events in the near future!!
So get training, go hunting for
that light wind monster that someone inevitably has laying under a
pile of lumber in their back yard, and get your game on for the return of the
ECWF 2014!
See you at the beach,
Mike Burns"
Now I'm even MORE bummed that I missed the 2012 Festival. Must start preparing for '14…
