" Thanks Dave. I have the 'blade weed' and the 'surf grass'. The blade weed sheds weeds better, but I like the surf grass better on my small, higher wind boards."

"Agree with Randy & Brian on True Ames. Their site's a bit funky to find all the weed fins they offer, but I found this windsurf collection link: https://www.trueames.com/collections/windsurf"
"That is awesome. Great to hear. Larry Hoff and I sailed in Muskegon inside the breakwater on Sunday afternoon (until dark) of the Labor Day Weekend. This was my first time out in Muskegon and I loved it. I will be back for sure! "
"We had a fantastic long weekend in Ludington. I sailed at Pere Marquette in Muskegon on the way up on Friday in onshore wind with my 7.0, a bit underpowered. No wind Saturday in Ludington, but it blew like crazy on Sunday and Monday.…"
"Did you end up going to Ludington on Labor Day? Larry and myself went out inside the breakwater in Muskegon on Labor Day. Conditions were really good, so I assume Ludington must have been good also!"
"Hi Steve, how was your session back in August? What other spots have you been to in Michigan? Ben"

MI Windsurfing Launches
Bob Shoen started a document listing the windsurfing launches in and around MI. I converted this to a Google Doc so that anyone with the following link can edit this document. You can add sites, or add launch photos or maps, or comment on favored wind directions, obstructions, etc.
