CCWA's six annual Canal Crawl
Club members windsurf the canals in costume
Seven CCWA members spent the afternoon of Halloween
this year windsurfing through the canals of Padre Island while dressed in costumes for the sixth Annual CCWA Corpus Christi Canal Crawl
Circumnavigation. Organized by CCWA's Mike Murphy, the event, dubbed by Windsurfing Magazine as “Windsurfing’s Weirdest
Race” (March 2008), was open to any non-motorized water
craft. All participants rode longboards, needed to handled the inconsistent, shifty and calm wind
throughout the course, which can turn almost anyone into a beginner and make
for lots of lead changes and close-quarter dueling.

Worldwinds Windsurfing and the CCWA teamed up
for the fourth annual Discover Windsurfing Day
on September
26, 2009, at the Worldwinds facility at Bird Island Basin on Padre Island National Seashore.
Volunteer instructors gave free 45-minute lessons to about 75 participants,
first putting students on an onland simulator, then putting
them on the water. Worldwinds donated all the equipment and two instructors,
while CCWA provided more instructors, kayak support and others
helping with registration and equipment.
