What’s up with that? We got Chachi, King Mike, Caesar, Terminator Pete, and the Marr’s (Superstar and Stoke). We got Tiger and Peconic Jeff and Upwind Mike. We’ve even got people without nicknames.
But we ain’t got you.
This makes absolutely no sense, as the East Coast Windsurfing Festival is so much fun that anyone who can tack should be in it for the races (and if you can do tricks, sign thee up also for freestyle.) I stink at both and still managed to have fun in both last year, so you surely should be a part of this.

Click on this line to sign up for the ABK clinic with Andy Brandt this Friday-Sunday if you’d like some extra skill polishing.

Michael,
The reason you don't have enough names is because you're short a category or two. For example, if you had a category “Too Chicken to Compete”, I would be the first to sign up. Or perhaps the category “Skills Suck Bad So Won't Make Ass Of Himself”. I would be high in that category too. Don't forget the popular “Just Wants To Be A Beach Slacker” category. Often I fit there.
I think a lot more people are coming, but not to compete. We're coming for the “windsurfing experience”, mon. I'd still be happy to pay $20, though.

Nice job, BTW, on the “Windsurfing” mag editorial. I totally agree. Every time there's a new year, it seems each board goes through minor modifications and is vastly superior to last year's model. Enough already.
I don't have a byline but I did conduct the interview with Trey, the guy who made the Expedition Windsurfer.
New York windsurfing rules again!

Michael,
I read your article title "No more gear" on Windsurfing Magazine of June. Great point, I agree with you totally. I think you should make a post out of it (if you haven't done so already).
Cheers,
(PS: thanks for your advice but I finally did not get the formula board at the swap, I became convinced that a 135-140L freeride board is what I need....a used one of course!)
