Itinerary:

Come on out and celebrate one of summer's last hurrahs. The current forecast for Sunday is a balmy high of 26 degrees. Bring your board and your
attitude and let's go out and hit some waves!

Even if you're not a windsurfer, come on out with your favorite book and umbrella, meet some friends, and indulge yourself in the warm sunshine!

For those interested in learning how to windsurf, there will be a training board with sail/mast available and free beginner lessons.
Please note the coordinator is not a certified instructor and you are doing this at your own risk

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $51.62 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Wednesday, April 2, 2025). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
