CCWA members start son windsurfing at age 5
Kai Meyer and his dad Pete
windsurf on North Beach.
August 2010
August 2010 - CCWA members Carrie Robertson and
Pete Meyer took advantage of the low winds and flat water near
their house on North Beach this summer to get their
five-year-old son, Kai, out windsurfing. They used a kid's sail
that someone gave them at the 2009 CCWA Swap Meet (thank you to
whoever that was!) and one of their stock Windsurfers - much
like the board both Pete and Carrie learned to windsurf on back
in 1982.
Although Kai stayed focused for a while, his favorite part of
the experience was jumping off the board, hanging 10 on the
nose, and trying to knock Dad off. First rule when teaching
kids: keep it fun! When Kai tired out, Carrie and Pete got to
practice their freestyle moves with a 5.2 sail.
CCWA Swap Meet brings windsurfers together
May 2010 - CCWA's
fourth annual "Wind & Water Swap Meet" was held at
Oleander
 Point
this year and provided windsurfers not only a chance to buy and
sell gear but to reconnect with friends and meet new ones. Buyers
shopped for free and
sellers paid $10 to sell all they wanted. The swap meet provides a
venue for water sports enthusiasts to buy and sell used gear for all water
sports -- windsurfing, kiiteboarding, kayaking, sailboating,
fishing -- as well as meet and visit with others interested in
water sports. At 6:30 pm that evening, the CCWA Club Social was
held at Brewsters.
