<p>Hi,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've been windsurfing for 25 years now and moved to Michigan two years ago but I've only made it out on the water once at Sand Point on Lake Huron. I've had several trips to OBX and Bonaire but I want to make sure I find a local site so I can bag some water time during our beautiful Michigan summers!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have my eye on Cas Lake and Metro Park. Just wondered if anyone had any comments on the two. I'm guessing the Park has more consistent wind but I prefer flat…</p>

<p></p>
<p>I have my eye on Cas Lake and Metro Park. Just wondered if anyone had any comments on the two. I'm guessing the Park has more consistent wind but I prefer flat water so wondering what the setup is there. Both are equidistant as far as the roads go from my home in Rochester.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Many Thanks and Warm Winds</p>

<p>We're going to spend a couple days in Suttons' Bay (west side of Traverse Bay) and I was wondering if anyone had experience there? Specifcally if there are any non-obvious good or bad conditions if you're sailing off the town beach there, and also if there are any cool spots nearby to try. Water is colder up there; would I be OK with a 3mm suit or do I need the 5mm? Thanks to anyone who can help!</p>

<p>I have old 1970's HiFly's 2- 340 and 1-295. I can sail these fine but am looking to upgrade to the newer shorter fatter boards. I will be teaching beginners/ intermediates but also want to have fun myself. can someone recommend a good size for that. Does anyone have something like that they are looking to get rid of?? Thanks Joe ps don't think I will make it to the swap this weekend.</p>

<p>I’ve got 150l/85cm-wide and 102l/62cm-wide boards and am looking for something that is roughly halfway in between those two (e.g., 125l/72cm). My budget is pretty low at $200-$300, so I’m likely looking for something 10-15 years old that’s had a repair or two. Ideal pickup would be in southwest Michigan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have a board that meets those criteria and would like to sell, please let me know.</p>

<p>Hello, I recently moved to Battle Creek and am in the process of figuring out windsurfing in Michigan. I am coming from New York state and am accustom to the great lakes, cold weather, and zebra mussels. If the forecast holds, I'd like to get in a session on Lake Michigan this Saturday. Is anyone else planning the same? </p>

<p>I windsurfed Tiscornia park yesterday and went swimming at Wau-Ke-Na earlier this week. I like the Michigan beaches more than the Lake Ontario. It felt more like I was in the ocean than a gigantic lake.</p>
