The 2013 Windpower Championships were a success again! Many thanks to Windpower Windsurfing and the entire support crew for a fantastic event. The wind showed up great for the event. We had a full Super Crossing from Fond du Lac to High Cliff in 15-20+ mph winds on Friday, and also had strong winds on Saturday for course racing. 3 course races followed by a distance race that took us around the southeast part of Lake Winnebago. Sunday we had 5 more course races in light/moderate wind.

We had great 15-25 mph west wind for the Super Crossing today. Around 10-12 windsurfers, along with a few kiters, sailed from Windpower in Fond du Lac on the south end of Lake Winnebago to High Cliff State Park on the north end of the lake. The trip is approximately 25 miles.
I posted some details on my blog. LINK
Racing for the Windpower Championships runs tomorrow (Sat) and Sunday.

- The Winnebago SuperCrossing will start Friday, Sept. 20th at 1:30 pm, at Roosevelt County Park. It’s a long-distance race with a relaxed format. Conditions permitting, the lake can be crossed from the south to the north. Some years it’s a challenge just to get to Wendt’s or Jim & Linda’s. The Finish is across from Wind Power at the Sunset on the water Grill & Bar. In 2012 we sailed to TJ’s, the new bar on the west side of the Lake. MoWind’s only free race!
- The Wind Power Championship is one of the biggest regattas with attendance from all over the Mid-west. It’s on the US Windsurfing National Tour. Wind conditions are usually very good, yet the water is warm with Fall approaching. Wind Power caters to the beginner racers; making them feel welcome and comfortable is most important! The famous “M” course (5 jibes) is standard and there will be many challenging courses for the A-Fleet to enjoy. Slalom Races will be held, wind permitting. Saturday night after beverages and dinner the Bonfire Ritual will take place.
- Charter Equipment will be available for all Fleets. Windsurf, Stand-Up-Paddle and O’Pen BIC. Contact Wind Power today to reserve yours!
- All of Wind Power’s 2013 School Fleet Equipment will be available at discounted pricing after the regatta. Windsurf Boards and Sails, Stand-Up-Paddle Boards and O’Pen BIC Sailboats. Call Wind Power for prices and details.

The 2013 Door County Breeze had great weather to go along with its usual great times. Ephraim and all of Door County are a wonderful place to visit in the summer. The event had windy racing on Saturday, including a long distance race around Horseshoe Island, followed by a terrific dinner at the race site provided by Jan Vande Corput and family. More racing followed on Sunday in warm weather. I’ll try to post a more complete regatta report soon…
For now, a H-U-G-E “Thank You” goes out to Steve and Jan Vande Corput, their family, Ann Gratton, Marlin Meitzen, and everyone else who helped make this event happen!
