The following is from club member, David Brown:
DUES, DUES, AND MORE DUES NEWS!
The Triad Windsurfing Club yearly
dues beginning this year will be $125.00
and are to be received by club
treasurer Keny Kirschstein by June 1, 2005.
Keny's address is:
Keny Kirschstein
As Don Wrenn mentioned last year,
our site costs have gone up while the club membership has gone down, hence the
increase in fees this year. If we can maintain the membership then we are
hoping for the fee to stay in this range. The club officers will take a look at
the what’s left in the treasury kitty at the end of 2005 and make a decision on
next year's dues in January, 2006. Anyway, you look at it, it’s still a deal to
be able to have access to the lake. We would appreciate it if you get your dues
in on time. Please note: we'll also be changing the gate combination in June,
so get those checks sent or feel the wrath of those pesky phone calls from the
club officers who would rather be doing something else!
SITE CLEAN-UP DAY
PLEASE set aside an hour or two on
SUNDAY afternoon, JUNE 5th at 3 - 5pm to join in and help clean up the site.
Sure it’s a bit of a hassle but its even worse if its only the same few people
who handle it year after year. It won't take very long if we have a bunch of helping
hands. So bring the kids, the wife and girlfriend and lets make a quick job of
it. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU IN ADVANCE.
MAC MOVING ON
Please (sure are a lot of pleases in
the newsletter, aren't there?) join us in thanking the magic maestro Mac
Barnhardt for his constant enthusiasm and dedication in turning out the club
newsletters for the past few years. Mac will
soon be departing to Mooresville close to
ANY ASPIRING ARTISTS/DESIGNERS OUT THERE?
Although them are hard booties that
Mac has left us to fill, if you would like to pad your resume and volunteer to
tackle the newsletter production, please send an email to Dave Brown at
davekrys@triad.rr.com or call 760-8788. Don't be shy!
ELECTION DAY coming soon!
Is this a Viagra misprint? No, but
the 2005-06 Triad Windsurfing Club officers will be officially elected on
Sunday, June 5th. Not to worry---yours truly, David Brown, has agreed to step
up and be the club president for the upcoming year.

My quest to try new places to windsurf when out of town goes
on. In mid-April, I traveled to the Tampa Bay/Sarasota area on business. It was
a regional sales meeting and rare play time was added to the agenda. While
others played golf and went to the spa, I took off on a mission to windsurf.
Luckily, April is a good month for wind in
Britt was great. He rigged the sails for me and changed sails and boards for me when I requested it. It was like having your own sail caddy. He was also giving lessons to others while I was sailing. He is a US Sailing certified windsurfing instructor and also races in many of the area Florida Formula race series. Check out his web site (above) for more information and how to contact him if you’re in the area. He’ll definitely treat you right.

Windfest 2005 Highlights
By Mac Barnhardt
Windfest was great again, highlighted by good wind, weather, and
windsurfing, new boards and sails to drool over, poker, BBQ, beer, great
sunsets, great seafood, and generally hanging out with a bunch of wind-crazed
nuts (just like us) from all over the country. Some of us even stimulated the
windsurfing economy by purchasing new sails, boards, wetsuits, etc. It was held
once again at Frisco Woods Campground in Frisco,
Windsurfing recap:
-
April 27th Wednesday afternoon – SW winds
started around 10-15kts with big sails as the call, then increased up to 20kts
and 6.5s for a good 3 hours of sailing to kick off the long weekend.
-
April 28th Thursday morning – NW winds
(that always kick in early and die off by mid-morning) stayed true to form and
gave us enough wind for about 1 hour of 20mph and 6.5s early in the morning.
-
April 29th Friday afternoon – A little bit
of SW kicked in late in the morning for some good 15mph sailing with 7s and 8s,
then it died on us.
-
April 30th Saturday – best day of the trip
– 20-25 knots all day on 6s, 5s, and 4s. One of the best days I’ve had in a
long time….not too hot, not too cold, not too windy, and not too light…..it was
just right. I can still feel myself out there just flying….AAaaaahhh.
