Alum Creek skippers meeting
Early Saturday evening some of the skippers met at a near by restaurant for drinks and food.    Sunday the wind didn’t show up.  I hope to post results here soon, I’m still waiting for Paul to send them.
Below Ted Schweitzer prepares his  thirty year old equipment for racing. Ted is a formidable competitor and was finishing in the top three near every race.    So I’d like to say to all of you windsurfers out there with older equipment (like 1980’s Superlights) that you think can’t compete with newer gear .. believe me it’s not the board ..  dust that old gear off and come on out to the next Mowind event in your area!   In lighter winds (like under 12) which we often have at events that old gear still rules. I used a 1985 Mistral Superlight at Alum,  it really cooks going upwind and downwind the speed ain’t bad either.   I purchased my Superlight with a rig on EBAY for $110.   So if you windsurf but don’t have a longboard to race with please note that you don’t need to spend much to be able to get out there and join in on some MOFUN.
