...is less than four weeks away! The fourth annual East Coast Windsurfing Festival takes place June 11-12th at Heckscher State Park. If you've been to the festival before but haven't yet signed up (by emailing his lordship King of the East Mike Burns at [email protected]) then please do, so your name can appear in lights.
If you haven't been before but think you might enjoy it, just sign up. You will have a great time (read the copious ravings of this blogger on the last three events.)
If you need convincing, here are the essentials: The event mixes freestyle events with some racing events. There is a minimum of rules for either, and any time conditions (or inspiration) suggests changing or scrapping the rules in the name of fun, it happens. There are no wind minimums (we will race and compete in freestyle in nonplaning conditions, folks! You can compete in both freestyle and racing. We have serious competitors, casual participants in it for the fun, and competitors serious about making fools of themselves (like me.)
It is a great time. There's a reason that the first event begat the second, the second the third, and the third this year's...don't miss it!
For details check out the official website.

i'm gonna make a serious effort to come up there this year. Jake was telling me what a blast the event is, and i'd love to experience that.
