ContinueJust as the Michigan windsurfing season was kicking in, Michigan Windsurfing’s Will Splashtack strolled over to the Grand Rapids area to talk to Mark Boersma, USA 17, about some of his accomplishments - and to get a few tips as well. Even at a young age, Mark was a…
ContinueI just got back from Hatteras to see that the 2016 Olympic Committee really screwed up. There are so many people that have given so much time and money to train and prepare for the Olympics. Gear has been developed. Training centers and programs are in place. It's really a shame to remove windsurfing. It's not too late. Please check out this site and sign the petition:…

For the second installment our Get to Know More Than Sail Size series, Michigan Windsurfing’s Will Splashtack sneaked into the city by the bay to interview Steve Bodner, USA 4. Steve is another Michigan/Ohio-made windsurfer who has definitely made his ‘mark’. If you followed the recent Lord of the Wind Showdown or the La Ventana Classic, then you’ll already be aware of some of Steve’s most recent accomplishments. If…

As the first of a Get to Know More Than Sail Size series, Michigan Windsurfing sent intrepid reporter, Will Splashtack, out to the Gorge to interview Tim Ortlieb. Tim is a made-in-Michigan windsurfer who found a career in the ‘industry’. If you ordered a new Ezzy sail, it may have come from Tim. So meet Ezzy’s main man on the mainland!

In case you haven't been reading the forums, it looks like Windsurfing Magazine will suspend publication, apparently to the surprise of the editor. This from Josh Sampiero on the iWinsurf Forum:
Hey everyone,
Word is getting around, and I wanted to be the one to tell the iWindsurf community.
WINDSURFING magazine will be suspending publication for the upcoming year.
There's still quite a few details I'm not sure about,…
Millard, Keith and Craig took advantage of the relatively warm winds on Thursday to get at least one more session in before 2011 closes out. Millard said that he pushed the limits of hypothermia that day, but he managed to get this GoPro footage:

Wednesday 11/9/2011, Metro Beach
Arrived onsite at 2:00 with an onshore wind, already there were several windsurfers on the water all with 5.5 to 6.0s.
Kind of strange such big sails for the wind at hand. Lesson 1: Onshore winds always look and feel windier.
I figured a 5.5 would work for me so I rigged the 5.5 Ezzy with the 101 RRD and went out for a spin.…

Okay, this has nothing to do with Michigan windsurfing, other than the fact that we could use some more young blood in the sport. Mike and Dave are doing a good thing with the Demo Tour, and Ted's fueling the stoke with his Original Windsurfer, but this video (thanks to DaNews) just hit the spot for me:
p.s. When you're teaching kids, or anyone for that matter,…

Sergey, from videojibe, created a new wind sensors site, http://www.windscore.com, which captures all the NOAA sensors. He's also created a sister mobile site: m.windscore.com . Sergey is a really smart and capable guy, and so I imagine that he'll continue to improve the site. Check it out: …

Hey you longboarders that have these boards may be interested in this if your gasket needs replacement.
Go to Home Depot and purchase a 3 foot strip of black vinyl base molding (they have two thicknesses and stiffnessess - I used the slightly stiffer one about 1/16 in. thick), some barge cement and make your own. Be careful removing the original gasket, the adhesive Mistral used took some of the epoxy skin off when I removed mine. You can minimize damage by using a scraper with…

There's a post on iwindsurf about adding iwindsurf sensors to the Great Lakes in an effort to get more people to join iwindsurf. Here's the post on the Eastern area forum:
