Race season is starting again!
I am happy to be hosting another Walleye Wagatta in Fond du Lac, WI along with Kevin Gratton and the team at Windpower Windsurfing. Race dates are May 12-13, 2012.
There are a couple of new things this year:
- Registration is online at the Windpower website. $10 for online registration, $15 for on-site registration at the event. As always, participants under 18 years old are FREE. http://www.WindPowerWindsurfing.com/register
- Stand-Up Paddling (SUP) will be included! (other paddlers welcome, too)
Come join the fun. Directions, schedule, and other details are in the Notice of Race. You can view it at the registration page, or download it directly at this LINK.
See you there,
Arden, EL-11
