I am a windsurfer. Maybe not so much these days but, once a windsurfer, always a windsurfer. The pursuit of wind dominated my life for over 20 years. Dominate may not accurately describe my obsession. Alas, I found a new sport (that’s another story) and I have settled a lot, only sailing when the winds are nuking.
In pursuit of the wind, I discovered several wind sources to feed my addiction. My favorite site has been and still is, iWindsurf.
